This VBScript* file is used to quickly determine if a system is set up correctly according to a user-defined set of configurations.

This VBScript file can be run prior to performance testing to ensure the system is configured correctly. It allows you to set the high level ("My Computer") performance settings and disk write caching to be flagged if each is not set to the desired configurations. The My Computer settings and disk write caching preferences are set according to user preferences by writing the appropriate values to the registry. It also writes the system information to a log file for later reference.

Great article but the link to the get_sys.vbs file is incorrect and does not give the correct code
