Not quite sure where best to place this question but
figured I would start here. Does anyone know of a way to
view the .nfo files generated by MSInfo32.exe when the
nfo file is generated by a different OS than is running
on the system you're trying to view it on?
Example: My network consists of Win2k and a few Win XP
Pro systems. I've a script that runs "msinfo32 /nfo
<filename>" each night on every client and places the
file on a directory on the server. If a problem arises
and I'm not in the office, it then allows me to pull up
some limited techinical details about the system through
my laptop & VPN (laptop runs XP Pro). At least, that is
the objective... I can't open any of the Win2k
generated .nfo files on my xp box, nor can I find any
viewers on the web. I can do a text based export if need
be, but it's just not as pretty. >.<
TIA
