Very good article.

I have wrote a batche file to create one csv file for all servers by using dsquery in conjunction with sysinfo.

However, there is a bug with sysinfo with XP SP3. If running sysinfo with the csv output enabled, from an XP SP3 computer, then copy sysinfo.exe from a server (W2K3 server for example).

example batch file - You will need to change the dsquery line to match the ou and domain that your servers are in. The csv file created is in c:\serverresults.csv:

@echo off

SET MYCOUNT = 0

dsquery computer ou=Servers,dc=MyDomain,dc=com > %TEMP%\Serverlist.txt

IF EXIST c:\serverresults.csv DEL c:\serverresults.csv

FOR /F "tokens=2 delims==," %%i in (%TEMP%\serverlist.txt) do call :GETINFO %%i

GOTO :FINISH

:GETINFO

SET SERVERNAME=%1

SET /A MYCOUNT=%MYCOUNT% + 1

IF "%MYCOUNT%" == "1" (

systeminfo /s %SERVERNAME% /FO CSV >> c:\serverresults.csv

) ELSE (

systeminfo /s %SERVERNAME% /FO CSV /NH >> c:\serverresults.csv

)

GOTO :EOF

:FINISH
