Many of the customer projects I work on involve collecting an inventory of basic information about the Windows Servers in the environment, such as CPU/memory specs, OS versions, volume sizes, and so on.

To make this inventory process less time consuming I began using PowerShell scripts to collect the information I was interested. Over time these scripts got less messy and more useful, so now I want to share my current script.

This PowerShell script, Collect-ServerInfo.ps1, will collect information from Windows Servers that includes:

Computer system information (name, make, model, processor, memory, domain)

Operating system information (OS name, version, install date)

Memory information (capacity, modules, speed)

Pagefile information (size, location)

BIOS information (manufacturer, version, release date)

Logical disk information

Volume information

Network interface information

Software information

The information is output to a HTML file per server.

Usage Examples

Collect information about a single server named SERVER1.

.\Collect-ServerInfo.ps1 SERVER1 1 . \ Collect - ServerInfo . ps1 SERVER1

Collect information about multiple servers.

"SERVER1","SERVER2","SERVER3" | .\Collect-ServerInfo.ps1 1 "SERVER1" , "SERVER2" , "SERVER3" | . \ Collect - ServerInfo . ps1

Collects information about all servers in Active Directory.

Get-ADComputer -Filter {OperatingSystem -Like "Windows Server*"} | %{.\Collect-ServerInfo.ps1 $_.DNSHostName} 1 Get - ADComputer - Filter { OperatingSystem - Like "Windows Server*" } | % { . \ Collect - ServerInfo . ps1 $ _ . DNSHostName }
