Remote detection 64 bit 32 bit

ThePrince · 27 Dec 2011

How do I find if a remote computer is 64 bit or 32 bit.

Preferrably without too many requirements, maybe a remote cmd command or something.

Thanks.

Try this command on CMD window.

C:\>wmic os get osarchitecture

This command is for Power Shell users who use remote commands

PS C:\>(gwmi win32_computersystem).SystemType

Where do you enter the computer name? When I run the command it gives me my own architecture. I want to do this for a remote computer :)

Okay I got it to work remotely, but only works on some computers. On some computers I get the following types of error messages:

1. RPC server not available.
2. Invalid request.

What do these errors correspond to and how can I fix them?

I got invalid request on a computer running 32 bit win xp, but it worked on a computer running 32 bit windows 7. I got the RPC error on computers running both Win XP and Win 7.

Any help much appreciated. I just want to find out the os architecture in a reliable way with any windows os if possible.
