How to generate HPS Report for Windows

Image
[ps] this is copy paste from:http://www.sysadminblog.info/tag/hps-report-for-windows/ - thanks to the admin out there :) HPS Reports is an information gathering tool for Windows servers.HPS Reports is similar to the Microsoft MPS Report, except it collects additional HP specific Hardware content. If you have a blue screen on a ProLiant Server running Windows and you have Windows support with HP, or you want HP to determine if the blue screen is hardware related. It’s possible that the systems specialist who takes your call may request an HPS Report. Download Link http://update.external.hp.com/HPS/HPSreports/ Note that there are currently four different variants of the tool. 1.HPSRPT_Enhanced_v9.1.00-x86.EXE – ProLiant –x86 – Running Windows NT/2000/2003/2008 32bit 2.HPSRPT_Enhanced_v9.1.00-ia64.EXE – Integrety – Running Windows 2003/2008 64 bit Itanium 3.HPSRPT_Enhanced_v9.1.00-x64.EXE – AMD64/Intel EM64T or Intel64 – Running Windows 2003/2008 64 bit And finally.. 4.

Using taskkill to remotely kill processes

Consider, you are unable to login to a server due to not sufficient resource available in the server. And you want to avoid server reboot to resolve this issue. You run pslist from remote server and see lots of processes running with the name " kinconfg.exe" Below is the command to kill remotely the duplicate processes and free-up resources on the problematic server: taskkill /s servername /im kinconfg.exe SUCCESS: The process "kinconfg.exe" with PID 5900 has been terminated. SUCCESS: The process "kinconfg.exe" with PID 10416 has been terminated. After this command is executed, able to login to the server.
