You probably should save the whole report, but if there are sections you are sure
would not be useful you may want to delete them. If you type msinfo32 /? you
can see various invocation options. If the /categories option did not seem to have
the granularity you desired, a script can be used to extract selected information.
Note: Running msinfo32 and generating a report may take some time. In our
case it took about a half minute to generate the report.
On our test client system, we created a batch file to automatically save system
information to a text file and then back it up to the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
We created an icon on our desktop with a link to this batch file, which can be
used to back up system information once changes have been made to the
system. The sample batch file is shown in Example 20-3.
