Effortless PC Inventory and Asset Management
Managing IT assets across a network does not have to be complicated. Log Info is a powerful yet simple utility that streamlines hardware and system inventory by automatically collecting detailed information from networked computers. With a single line in a login script or remote execution over the network, you can retrieve critical system data instantly -- no manual tracking, no complex agents, and no heavyweight software to install.
Log Info runs silently during login, gathers the exact data you specify, and writes it to a shared CSV file that you can import directly into Excel, SQL Server, or any enterprise database. Whether you are budgeting for hardware refreshes, tracking software compliance, or simply need to know what is running on your network, Log Info delivers the answers in seconds.
Who Is This For?
- IT administrators -- Automate hardware audits across hundreds or thousands of machines with a single login script. No per-machine installation required.
- IT managers -- Generate actionable inventory reports for budgeting, equipment planning, and compliance audits without deep technical knowledge.
- Help desk teams -- Quickly retrieve machine specs, installed software, and OS details to troubleshoot issues efficiently.
- Compliance officers -- Maintain up-to-date records of all hardware and software assets for regulatory audits.
Key Features
Comprehensive Hardware Data
Collect MAC addresses, RAM, hard drive sizes and serial numbers, processor details, CPU architecture (x86, x64, WOW64), BIOS information, monitor descriptions, and more from every machine.
Operating System Details
Detect OS version, edition, service packs, product keys, installation dates, last boot time, and system uptime. Supports Windows 95 through Windows 11 and all server editions.
Software Inventory
Enumerate all installed software registered with the Windows uninstaller, including version numbers. Detect browser versions (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and default browser.
Flexible Output Formats
Export data as comma-delimited CSV (customizable delimiter) for database import, or generate human-readable reports for printing and archiving. Choose per-user or shared log files.
Cookie-Based Audit Control
Prevent duplicate audits by writing a cookie file to each machine. Log Info checks for the cookie before running, ensuring each machine is only audited once per cycle.
Fully Customizable Logging
Select exactly which data points to collect using the configuration editor. Save configurations as INI files for different audit scenarios -- hardware-only, software-only, or complete.
How to Get Started
- Configure your audit -- Open the Configuration Editor (
config.exe) and select which data points to collect.
- Deploy to a network share -- Copy
loginfo.ini and loginfo.exe to a shared network location accessible by all client machines.
- Add to login scripts -- Call
loginfo.exe from your login script, GPO, or remote execution tool. Log Info runs silently and writes data to your shared log file.
- Import and analyze -- Open the CSV output in Excel, Access, or import into SQL Server for reporting and analysis.
Advanced Deployment
Log Info supports environment variables in all paths, including the special %CURRENT_DIR% variable that resolves to the directory where loginfo.exe is located. This means you can deploy Log Info to a USB drive or network share without hardcoding UNC paths.
Virtual Machine Detection
Log Info detects VMware, VirtualBox, Citrix, QEMU, Hyper-V, and VirtualPC environments and reports them in the operating system output. Know exactly which machines are physical and which are virtual across your entire network.

Screenshots
The configuration screen lets you select which information to audit from each client computer. Each configuration is saved to an INI file used by loginfo.exe.
Additional computer information on Page 2. Select the information you want to audit using simple checkboxes.
Even more data collection options including Windows system information and virtual machine detection.
Collect all uninstall software information registered with the Windows uninstaller -- ideal for simple software audits.
Capture any environment variable from the client machine. Enter the variable name and click Add. NetWare-specific macros are also supported.
The cookie option prevents duplicate audits by placing a small file on each client machine. If the cookie exists and matches, Log Info skips that machine.
Configure where and how data is saved. Choose shared log files, per-user files, or per-machine files. Set the file extension and output location.
Choose between CSV (with customizable delimiter) for database import or human-readable report format for printing and archiving.
Example of delimited output from Log Info across 4 machines -- ready for import into Excel, SQL Server, or any database system.
