Vista Tutorial - VistaForums SysInfo Tool

Post Bugs, Feature Requests or comments here!

G'Day dmex,

Just wanted to say that things have progressed remarkably since joining this Forum, and posting my first questions on this tool to you. I'm now a silly, but considerably more enlightened, old fart.

Your tool is a remarkable resource that I have found to be extremely useful in all sorts of situations, and that I now try to encourage each new Forum Member to add to their PC or Laptop, to assist with preparation of their 'My System Specs' data.

Thank-you.

Cheers. sassofalco

Thank You Very Much for this handy tool

Looks as if it would be great but it does not scale down to my Netbooks screen size of 1200x600. I tried to resize it but it will not let me do it. Guess I am just SOL on using this tool.
I will not put the netbook onto a VGA screen because every time I do I have to spend 3 hours making vista want to use my netbook's screen.

Really nice.
Runs fine under 64 bit Windows 7, too.

Awesome program thanks!

It appears,, and I am not willing to test it again, but this tool will get users for an entire domain. Not just local users. this should be fixed or looked at.

and I think it should olny pull local users,,, not an entire active directory domain users OU.

Unfortunately, as I am not willing to run it again, I can not confirm that this is what it was doing,, but from the data I was seeing before I had to kill it, it appears to have been pull all users from the domain I am on.

Tepid,

I checked the code, It uses a WMI query Win32_UserAccount and its set to call the local machine, Unless you where running Sysinfo on the Domain Controller I dont see how it was able to query a large amount of users without knowing the address of your Server

Im going to need a screenshot or repro steps before I can assertain theres something that needs fixing

Hmmm,,,, no, not on the domain controller.

Since it is not my domain, I'm not sure I want to run it again.

What I can tell you, is I have checked my system and it was reimaged before given to me and I am the only user, I saw a whole lot of names that would not have been associated to this PC, I should have kept what I had for further diags.

Besides the default profiles, there are only 3 and 2 of them are mine.
Besides the default users, there are only a couple others, and those I did not see in the list.

When I started it, I went to do something else, when I came back it was still running and pulling names that I had not seen before. Not the windows default users on the PC or mine or the couple extras.

Now, i could be wrong, but from what I had seen, it threw a red flag in my mind and i killed it. Thought I should report it.

Could be the way we are setup, but I would not be familiar with how or why.
I only want to report what I had seen incase this is an issue that no one else has seen yet.

The only other thing I can think of,,, I do have XP Admin pack installed with XP AD Console up and running. Could it be reading this as a local copy of users?

great tool. Keep up the good work. It would of taken downloading multiple programs to find this info. Really speeds up my time to fix computers. thanks

Completely amazing tool! I found out more about my computer in 5 minutes than I would've been able to in an afternoon of poking around. Brilliant job!
