I am looking for a tool that can produce a report (xml/xslt, html, pdf, etc..) of the system and all of its hardware components such as processor, speed, memory, disks, network, etc..
Any idea if such a tool exists? The more information it gives the better.
Speccy by Piriform is another good one and can save reports in XML or text file formats as well as post to the web.
I'm not sure about the exporting to a report part but you can have a look at the features.
There is:
The following command is built-in to Windows:
systeminfo
It doesn't give much, but it does address your request for processor, memory, and network.
Disks can be easily queried for all sorts of info from the following built-in Windows command:
fsutil
You'll want to try fsutil that with a /? switch to see some of the options available. More specific drive information is available within diskpart, also a built-in command.
For "speed", I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Perhaps you're looking for a benchmark utility? If so, try SiSoft Sandra. The free version is available here (Go to download & buy at the top).
Perhaps this is what you need:
Faronics - System Profiler
