In case anyone missed it. BgInfo v4.13 was released a few weeks ago. I know that a number of School Computing Officers use this useful tool for audit and support purposes.

Link.

I have previously used BGInfo in a startup script to have machines ‘Check in’ to an Access DB. You can use somthing like this (one line):

\\campus\software\pathtofile\Bginfo.exe \\pathtoconfigfile\config.bgi /timer:0


The config.bgi file allows you to set what data you want to capture and set a path for the DB file.
