This is the script I ran to gather a variety of system information from server3 remotely...
del c:\GatherInfo.txt
systeminfo /s \\server3 > c:\GatherInfo.txt
driverquery /s \\server3 >> c:\GatherInfo.txt
getmac /S \\server3 >> c:\GatherInfo.txt
freedisk /s \\server3 /D C: >> c:\GatherInfo.txt
gpresult /s \\server3 >> c:\GatherInfo.txt
sc \\server3 query >> c:\GatherInfo.txt
eventquery /S \\server3 /L application /FI "type eq error" >> c:\GatherInfo.txt
notepad c:\GatherInfo.txt

Data output:

WMIC BIOS > mydata.txtWMIC OS >> mydata.txtWMIC /APPEND:mydata.txt PAGEFILEWMIC /OUTPUT:output.txt OSWMIC /OUTPUT:CLIPBOARD BIOS

Data display:

WMIC PROCESS WHERE "name like '%HOST%'"WMIC PATH Win32_Process WHERE "name like '%HOST%'"WMIC PROCESS WHERE “Name=svchost.exe” LIST StatisticsWMIC PROCESS WHERE “Name=svchost.exe” LIST BREAFWMIC PROCESS WHERE (Name='svchost.exe') GET name, processed
