Displaying live information

[Faaal]

Hi guys.

I have created a lovely dobley batch file to automate a long process at work. Now however I am looking for a way to display real-time data of the computer configuration.

This would be simple, no user input - no modification - no login. Open the executable and it will display

PC Name: DEVICE01
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
If drive X is mapped to a specific directory (Mapped: Yes/No)

I'm a newbie to C++ but familiar with other languages (I'm a web developer by hobby) and want to start learning a new language.

I am aware of the DOS commands that can produce the same result, unfortunately though it is important that the output is as simple as possible, and unfortunately there's a little too much 'gibberish' for non-technical guys. I need the response to be direct as shown above.

This is important as we may have technicians doing on-site repairs and we would prefer to shy away from additional training. This live information would simply tell them what computer they are working on. And it would help us resolve any unforeseen issues - such as if the computer name was DEVICE04 but the IP ended in .03

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
