Using Command Prompt or other programs to find computer specs without having to remote into the device
How do I check all specs on my computer on Windows 7?

So I've been tasked with trying to get a specs sheet going for all our office computers. Thing is, there's probably over a hundred being used and while I could remote into each individual computer and find their CPU/RAM/HDD specs in 5-10 minutes, it would take quite a long time with that many devices.
So far, I've found that using wmic /node:<ip or hostname here> cpu get name does the trick when using the IP of computer I am working on, but if I were to say try the IP of my laptop, I would get "Access is denied." Using /user:[domain here\username here] can also be added but as I understand, if left blank it uses the same credentials as the machine your are running the command on which in this case should technically work since they are both local users named "User" with no password.
What would be the reason I would get an Access Denied error? Or if anyone has a different recommendation for commands and/or programs then I would gladly attempt it, as long as I can do it without logging into the device and making any changes there (as if I'm going to be doing that I might as well just go in and grab the specs manually).
