Compaq Survey Utility
The Compaq Survey Utility is an online information-gathering agent that runs
on servers, gathering critical hardware and software information from various
sources.
The Compaq Survey Utility outputs the information it gathers into
SURVEY.TXT. This file is located in
[Windows NT Drive]:\COMPAQ\SURVEY for Windows NT, and
SYS:SYSTEM for NetWare. If a significant change occurs between data
gathering intervals, the previous information is marked, and SURVEY.TXT is
overwritten to reflect the latest configuration and changes. This file allows you
to keep a historical record of change events for server hardware and software.
The Compaq Survey Utility automatically runs at power-up and on specified
time intervals. You can modify the data-gathering interval by modifying the
command line parameters.
