Does anyone know of an easy way to query the network card speed on the end user via languard?  We are trying to find who has a 100 gb card or who has a 1000 gb card.

Thanks,
Max

This is not going to be easy.  The information you're looking for is likely stored in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}

The only way I can image this would be feasible is if your network contained only a few brands of network cards through the entire organization.  Each card vendor's set of keys could be substantially different from this parent key on down. 

You can set up our software to detect a 'vulnerability' when a specific registry key has been located.  Although, technically, this is not a vulnerability, you could use this to query specific registry key values, such as the ones listed above.
