Getting System/OS information in Coldfusion

This Article describe how to get the follwoing system information in Coldfusion using .Net OS Information

• Hard Disk Information
• IP and Computer Name
• Mac Address
• Computer information

Steps to follow

Create a Class Library in .Net and compile and get the dll file generated from .Net

Call the dll from coldfusion and access the methods from dll
