Extract info from remote system

Hi, I am trying to extract some info from remote machines usnig below script

for /f %%f IN (c:\host.txt) do echo Host Name = %%f >> c:\output.txt && systeminfo |find "OS Build Type" >> c:\output.txt

But the output.txt contains output from the Local machine and not from the remote however when run without sending output to the output.txt it gives the proper output but the same is not being written to the file.

Re: Extract info from remote system

you need to pass or pipe the host name into systeminfo /S

use a subroutine
for /f %%f IN (c:\host.txt) do (CALL :mysubroutine %%f )

...etc

Re: Extract info from remote system

As Simon intimated, you haven't told "systeminfo" to work against a remote system.  Maybe this (untested)?

for /f %%f IN (c:\host.txt) do systeminfo /s %%f | findstr "^Host.Name: ^OS.Build.Type:" >> c:\output.txt
