Another approach (to go with the three or four ideas you've already received!), would be to query the sysDescr.0 value. This will typically give some indication of what sort of box you're talking to. sysObjectID is probably easier to handle automatically, but wouldn't give you as much information. sysDescr is more informative for a human to look at, but harder to autodetect. Michael's suggestion of walking the process table is an ingenious one, though I suspect the comparisons between similar systems being using in different ways (e.g. desktop vs web server) might be confusing. And it obviously relies on the agent implementing this MIB (which is not as widespread as the basic system group). But Mike has gone to the heart of things. What do you mean by "a PC"? What are you *actually* trying to do? Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
