Obtaining General System Information with the
MSInfo32 Utility
The Microsoft Information 32-bit (MSInfo32) utility made an initial appearance with Office products.
In fact, that??™s why you??™ll still find it in the
\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\
MSInfo
directory, rather than the more standard
\Windows\System32
directory when working
with older versions of Windows. Server Core provides its only copy of the utility in the
\WINDOWS\
system32
directory. Interestingly enough, MSInfo32 is one of the few utilities that you can use in
GUI mode. No, you can??™t save or export information directly from the GUI, but you can view the
information. When working with Server Core, you must still save any information you want to
save using the command line arguments.
NOTE
You may need to make special provisions when using MSInfo to work with an older version
of Windows. Because the MSInfo utility doesn??™t appear in the standard directory, you might find
that it won??™t execute correctly at the command prompt. You might need to add one of the MSInfo
utility paths to your setup to execute the application from anywhere at the command prompt.
