Question : BGinfo: Auto Refresh

I have BGinfo running across my domain. we are using it to collect software install and uptime, we are currently working on running it into SQL.

Right now I log into ALL of my servers every morning in order to gather some information from BGinfo into a spreadsheet.

I am VERY interested in finding something that will allow BGinfo to 'refresh' automatically at the same time everyday.

I attempted this with a scheduled task...however that didn't seem to work. I am open to ideas here, BUT I thought that there may be some way to write a script that will 'call' the Bginfo.bgi file and then I could schedule the script as a task.

Answer : BGinfo: Auto Refresh

Hello !

in your batch file, is it written exactly as you put it or do you use quotes ? Do you provide the log file/db path ?

The line should look like this :

"C:\Program Files\BTSMain\BGinfo\BGinfo.exe" "C:\Program Files\BTSMain\BGinfo\Server.bgi" /nolicprompt /silent /log:"Path to log file" /timer:0
