Re:Scan to determine version of IE installed

["Jack Cullen" <jack_cullen () hotmail com>]

	I'm sure this is lame scripting but I was just working on that exact same 
thing. For Windows 2000 msinfo32.exe can be used. The program winmsd.exe 
will call msinfo32.exe and is already in the path (c:\winnt\system32) 
therefore I use it. The initial report will also show 3rd party web browser 
plugins and even spyware/skankware. It's also handy to grab Windows 2k 
service pack levels. MSINFO will get you the version numbers of the IE 
installed and the IE version history link below will translate that into 
English (Example: 6.0.2800.1106 = IE 6.0 SP1). Some examples below, actual 
mileage may vary.
****************************
Internet Explorer Versions:
winmsd /report pcname.txt /categories +InternetExplorer /computer pcname
type pcname.txt | find /i "version" | find /v /i "up" | find /v /i "fi" | 
find /v /i "jav" >pcname.log
Result = Version 6.0.2800.1106
****************************
Service Pack:
winmsd /report pcname.txt /categories +SystemSummary /computer pcname
type pcname.txt | find /i "version" | find /i /v "bios" >pcname.log
Result = Version 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 Build 2195
****************************
Both:
winmsd /report pcname.txt /categories  +SystemSummary+InternetExplorer 
/computer pcname
type pcname.txt | find /i "version" | find /v /i "up" | find /v /i "fi" | 
find /v /i "jav" | find /i /v "bios" >pcname.log
Result = Version        5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 Build 2195
            Version     6.0.2800.1106
****************************
Using IP subnets, 50 IP addresses at a time:
for /l %i in (1,1,50) do winmsd /report 10.1.1.%i /categories 
+InternetExplorer /computer 10.101.101.%i
pause
for /l %i in (51,1,100) do winmsd /report 10.1.1.%i /categories 
+InternetExplorer /computer 10.101.101.%i
pause
etc...
for /f %i in ('dir 10* /b /o:n') do type %i | find /i "version" | find /v /i 
"up" | find /v /i "fi" | find /v /i "jav" >subdir\%i
for /f %i in ('dir subdir\10* /b /o:n') do (I'm not sure but the result is a 
log as below)
Result = 10.1.1.1 Version 6.0.2800.1106
            10.1.1.2 Version 6.0.2800.1106
            10.1.1.3 Version 5.50.4807.2300
            etc
