Getting Windows Server 2003 Product Information
How can I easily obtain information about my server, such as product ID, original installation date, build number, server up-time and the protocols that are running on my Windows Server 2003?

10/10/2007 -- You can use SrvInfo, the command-line utility that's available in the Windows Server 2003 resource kit tools. The system requirements for this useful tool include Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003.

You can use SrvInfo to gather information about a local or remote computer. If computer name isn't provided, SrvInfo assumes you want information on the local computer. Unfortunately, there's no GUI functionality that corresponds to this utility.

With SrvInfo you can obtain the following types of information:

  • Server name
  • Security
  • Registered owner
  • Registered organization
  • Product ID
  • Original install date
  • Base source path
  • Service pack source path
  • Version
  • Build
  • Current type
  • Product name
  • Product options
  • HAL.DLL
  • PDC
  • Domain
  • Domain GUID
  • DNS forest name
  • PDC site name
  • Computer site name
  • DC flags
  • CPU[0]
  • System BIOS date
  • System BIOS version
  • Hotfixes
  • Drives
  • Services
  • Network cards
  • Protocols
  • System up-time

You should pipe this information into a file and keep it in your server configuration folder. Type srvinfo > srvconfig.txt to copy the server information into a file called srvconfig.txt. Type srvinfo / ? for help.
