In this section of the course, we'll be discussing three commands, system info, dx diag in Ms. info 32. In order for us to accurately assess different PCs on our network, we need to know exactly what are the specs of the systems that we're on. So that's where we're going to begin gathering information about the local PC that we're on. So I'm going to go ahead and click Start. And in the search programs and files box, I'm going to type cmd. I'm going to right click on command, hit Run as Administrator want to change the color as usual.

Now the first command system info is where we're going to begin. Let's go ahead and type that command to see what we get back. And in now what's going on here the system is basically gathering information about our network card, what kind of processing we have, what kind of patches have been applied to the system, different things like that. Sometimes it can take a little while depending on the system, how new it is or how old it is. As you can see, we have our results back. We have our hostname, which is lab PC, Windows seven professional.

The owner lab account, the original install date, system boot time, we see we get a lot of different good information with this very simple command we see that this is a 64 base VC and also a physical memory that's been applied also the domain name so we see how this is very, very, very useful information about the local PC pretty much everything we need to know. So the Second command that we're going to run is dx diag. While it's not exactly a command, we type in Windows command prompt, we're going to type forward in our system. So we're going to click start again. In the search programs and files box, we're going to type dx di Ag and hit Enter. And this is basically a command asking you do you want to check for drivers things like that one, click Yes.

And now we see we also get different information. We have our computer name, which is lab PC, the current date and time of the system model, the amount of memory that's installed. We can also go to different tabs here. Go to the Display tab to see the different drivers or devices that's installed, our sound settings and our input devices. Now lastly, we're going to cover another command. We're going to click Start and in the search programs and files box, we're I'm going to type Ms. info 32 and hit enter.

Now this is also a great place that we can gather information about our local system. We see at the very top we have the OS name, our system name 64 bit PC. The user that's currently installed, the amount of memory installed the page file size, different things like that are different hardware resources. We can click memory, it's going to let us know different things about on current memory status. We have all Ks components c ROM display modem network adapter, sometimes systems need to refresh as well. Different things here.

Information about our disk. That's also important sometimes we need to know the physical size that we have on our disk. Also tracks sectors, a lot of information Here, USB devices software environment. So we see these are the various ways that we can use within our Windows environment to gather different information. We went over the system info command, the DX diag, and also ms info 32. Hope you guys found this course engaging.

I will see you again in the next one.
