Retrieve System Information

[Guest]

Hi all,

Is there some way to retrieve the System Information of multiple machines? I want to create a file containing information (OS, CPU, RAM, HD, etc.) on each computer. Can Hyena help me with this?

Re: Retrieve System Information

Using the Export Computers function in Hyena you can get the OS, Service Pack, HotFix and Uptime information for your computers.

You can access this under File->Export->Computers.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm aware of that function, but was hoping there was some way of automatically creating a more thorough report.
Any ideas?

Re: Retrieve System Information

You can automate this information by scheduling the exporter.exe that is located in the Hyena directory.

Unfortunately Hyena isn't able to get the other information that you require.

Re: Retrieve System Information

Actually, using a custom tool command and the freeware utility psinfo.exe from Sysinternals (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/psinfo.shtml) you can get quite a bit of information. Try this:

cmd.exe /c psinfo.exe \\%E% & pause

Obviousy, you may need to include the path to wherever you have psinfo copied, but that's about it. Also, you can modify this to redirect the output to a text file.

Re: Retrieve System Information

I've got PSINFO working,it reports the info, but trying to export that info seems to fail.

I tried just going >>c:\server.txt, but that didnt work. Ideally, i wanted to do >>c:\$E$.txt so i could do a bunch of servers at once.

Anyone have any insight on making this work, at least so it will write to a txt file.

Thanks,
Tim
