PsInfo
Chapter 6 Pstools 187
PsInfo gathers key information about systems, including the type of installation, kernel build
number, system uptime, registered owner and organization, number of processors and their
type, amount of memory, and Internet Explorer version. Command-line options also let you
view disk volume information, installed hotfixes, and software applications. For example:

The Uptime figure represents the accumulated amount of time that the computer has been
running since the last boot. Time spent in sleep or hibernate mode does not count toward
this figure, so Uptime does not necessarily indicate how much actual time has elapsed since
the last system startup.
Note As of this writing, physical memory does not get reported for 64-bit versions of Windows.
To report only selected rows of this information, provide the full or partial name of the field
or fields of interest on the command line. For example, if you run psinfo register, only the
Registered Organization and Registered Owner fields will be reported.
By default, PsInfo captures information about the local computer, but by using the syntax
described in the “Common Features” section of this chapter, it can report information for one
or more remote computers. PsInfo does not require administrative rights locally, but it does
need administrative rights on remote systems.
Adding –d to the PsInfo command line appends information about disk volumes to the
r eport, similar to the following:
Volume Type Format Label Size Free Free
A: Removable 0.0%
C: Fixed NTFS 126.99 GB 123.34 GB 97.1%
D: CD-ROM CDFS VMGUEST 23.66 MB 0.0%
X: Remote NTFS 19.99 GB 13.35 GB 66.8%
