What is the main utility tool to obtain hardware and OS information about any client machine or server on the network?

i.e. CPU speed, CD-ROM type and speed, Floppy type and drive, RAM info, Harddrive capacity, etc.

I usually go to Accessories --> system information path to find out what applications start up when windows start. Can I use this same utility?

I'm not a network guy, but problems like these often are presented to me. Like usually, I go a little here and there..but I know that there should be one place for this information....

Dammit Jim, I'm only a programmer!!!!


I appreciate your help.
