Get Remote PC Information with just smb access

Azadshahr

I have access to a remote machine. I can work properly with the remote machine file system. Now, I wanted to extract some information about the remote machine. For example, architecture, operating system, os version, uptime, and so on. How can I get these kind of information from the remote machine?

With following code, I could just resolve domain name and also the IP address of the remote machine. Now I wanted to extract more information about the remote machine.

PcInformation::PcInformation(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent), ui(new Ui::PcInformation)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    QWidget::setFixedSize(540, 235);
    QString computerTargetName = QApplication::arguments().at(1);

    f_hostAddress = QHostInfo::fromName(computerTargetName).addresses().first();
    f_hostName = computerTargetName;
    f_hostArchitecture = "x64";

    ui->labelDomain->setText(f_hostName);
    ui->labelIpAddress->setText(f_hostAddress.toString());
    ui->labelArch->setText(f_hostArchitecture);
}

This is not possible with Qt. You have to use to OS API for this.

Hi,

Beside @Christian-Ehrlicher's point, AFAIK, SMB is a network protocol for file and print services so how are you executing your application ?

you'd have to create a scheduled task on the target machine that saves the information to a file, and then you can use SMB to pull that file.
