MSINFO32.exe

[Ariel]

you can get pretty granular with what to gather, for
example:

msinfo32 /report test.txt /computer mycomputer /categories
+systemsummary+componentsnetwork+componentsstorage+swenvser
vices

I was wondering where msinfo.exe gets its data for the

System Summary? is it parsed out of the registry or does
it read it straight from the BIOS? I only need a few
pieces of infomation that msinfo.exe generates, but I am
having trouble extracting the information from the report
file it gererates for me, so I was hoping to Poll for the
information directly and would like to know where it gets
the information from.

thank you that help reduce the size of the file I was parsing ,however I
discovered why I am having trouble extracting the information from the file
in the first place.

I am using winbatch with a user difined function that loads the file into a
binary memory location and then is to look for values with in. but when I
load the outputfile from MSINFO32.exe into the memory space the text looks
fine but the hex code shows NULS (00) between each character and I am having
trouble determining the offset of the code so it can be read with out
errors.

thanks again for the help
