systeminfo command

[pmidwest]

I'm working with the systeminfo command in a batch file. The only problem is it outputs way to much stuff.

I was thinking of using

systeminfo /s server | find “Host Name:”

the only problem with this is I’d have to run systeminfo more than once to show all the things I need. So I tried outputting systeminfo to a txt file.

systeminfo /s server >server.txt

then I used find commands

find "Host Name:" <server.txt
find "OS Name:" <server.txt
find "OS Version:" <server.txt

This works ok… but I want to display everything except the huge list of hotfixs.

Is there any way to tell the script to just delete the hotfixs? Like delete after “hotfix(s):” and before “Network Card(s):” or just display all except for what’s in-between those sections.

Hope this make since.

Thanks,

P.

Figured it out...

systeminfo /s server >server.txt
findstr /v "KB Q File SP" <server.txt

Seems to work nice... it takes care of all the hotfixs but it also gets rid of the Page File option. That’s ok though.

Hey, thanks for the hint - I'm just learning batch files and that was very handy.

I'm learning as well... I know my tag says (programmer). I don’t know why... nor how to change it... LOL... anyways are you doing network admin type scripts or what? I’ve built up a nice little script to help me out with some of my more tedious tasks.
