OpsMgr 2007 Inventory Utility

 

The Operations Manager inventory utility from Microsoft is a command line utility that also is a graphical user interface or GUI that collects current OpsMgr 2007 inventory information for the Management server it is executed on. It then saves the results into a Cab file name that you specify.

To use the utility after you download it from the directory in which the utility is extracted to run the following from a command prompt:

 

MomInventory /Silent /CabFile:C:\fileName.Cab
