Are they all Win2K or NT boxes? If so during login you can run MSINFO32 and use switches to export this data during login. - OR - Another method is a batch file with a listing of machines you want to scan - this way it's not dependant on logins. A sample would be: ------------------ @echo off MSINFO32 /report <reportname> /<computername> /categories+ALL
repeat the MSINFO32 line for each machine you want to audit What I did is dumped NET VIEW output to a text file, then used EXCEL to make a file with the many MSINFO32 lines, then saved it as a test file, then renamed it to *.CMD. A caveat is MSINFO32 isn't normally in the path, but either specifying the full path or copying MSINFO32.EXE to where the .CMD file is works So a working sample could look like this: MSINFO32 /report S:\reports\TFC0001.TXT /TFC0001 /categories+all MSINFO32 /report S:\reports\TFC0002.TXT /TFC0002 /categories+all MSINFO32 /report S:\reports\TFC0003.TXT /TFC0003 /categories+all MSINFO32 /report S:\reports\TFC0004.TXT /TFC0004 /categories+all If you want one big file instead of many you can just run this (can be in batch, even) COPY TFC*.TXT REPORT.TXT. If you script it you can use variables. For my personal clients I have it in their login, so my line for this audit reads: ------ $Site1="\\server1\netlogon" <-----MSINFO32.EXE is in the same folder as the login script $Location="\\server1\pc-info\" SHELL $SITE1 + "\MSINFO32 /report " + $LOCALDATA + @WKSTA + ".doc /categories+ALL" ------ In KiX the @WKSTA is the workstations name that KiX grabs from the environment automatically. ** Note MSINFO32 exports as Unicode text, this is important of you run something that might read the output line by line. To see what it looks like run MSINFO32 to create a file and then open it with EDIT from the command prompt. To convert to ANSI simply open the file w/ Notepad and choose Save As and select ANSI. ** Anything MSINFO32 tells you can be gathered in this manner. Awesome and the price is right!
