Display Local or Remote Server Debug Information

SUMMARY: Help determine if a remote or local Windows XP server has certain security hotfixes installed. Also see what services it is running and more.
 
The 'srvinfo' command, found in the Windows 2003 Resource Kit (Windows 2003 Resource Kit download/install instructions), can display diagnostic information about the local or a remote server. Information displayed includes hotfix information (detailed information on when system patches were installed), the server original install date, installed networking protocols, the system BIOS date, installed, running, and stopped services, and more.

The following command-line options are supported:

* -d: Display service drivers/ services
*-ns: Hides service information
*-nf: Hides hotfix information
* -r: Displays service internal names
* -s: Displays shares
* -v: Displays version information for Exchange Server, Internet Information Services (IIS), and Microsoft SQL Server.
* \\ComputerName - Display information for a remote server

Type 'svrinfo' on the command line to display information about the local server. To display information about a remote server, attach \\COMPUTER_NAME to the command line. For example, to display information about computer \\REMOTE and hide the service information, enter the following command:

srvinfo -ns \\REMOTE
