The NFO file is actually
in an XML format that you can examine using any application designed to work with XML.
In fact, the XML formatting makes it quite easy to create a custom utility to extract only the information
you need for a particular purpose.
NOTE
File output occurs in a silent mode. Even though the MSInfo32 utility returns immediately,
that doesn??™t mean the output file is ready for use. MSInfo completes the task in the background
so the user can continue working. Generally, you??™ll want to allow at least 10 minutes for
the system to complete the task of outputting the file (more time is better).
/report
Outfile
Outputs the current system state to the specified text file.
/category
Catname
Opens MSInfo32 with the specified category selected. Use the
/ShowCategories
command line switch to open MSInfo with the category names displays,
in place of the human-readable categories shown in Figure 12.4.
/computer
ComputerName
Opens MSInfo32 with the information for the specified remote
computer loaded in place of the local computer. You can also use this command line switch to
generate reports for remote computers.
NOTE
Remote systems must have the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service
running to collect information.
