Auditing screen resolution on XP machines...

I have about 150 Windows XP computers in a Windows 2003 domain environment.
We are a Dell shop with mostly gx270, gx280, gx520, optiplex 745’s and dozen
or so Latituide d620’s. We have dell openmanage on the desktops and laptops.
My development team needs to know what screen resolutions most people in the
environment are running so that they can better design our in house apps for
that resolution. Is there anyway for me to use active directory, gpmc,
openmanage or some other tool to query these settings? Thanks!

You could use WMI class Win32_DisplayConfiguration to return this
information. WMI can return a whole load of information about your
local machine and remote machines.

Check out (and download) Scriptomatic -

Thanks Richard! Scriptomatic works great. However, Scriptomatic 2.0 was the
best due to the cleaner interface and the fact that you can script for
multiple machines at once. I did an export of machine names from AD and
pasted them into Scriptomatic 2.0 it ran across 100 machines in about 15
minutes. Thanks again!
