Notes

To access System Information on a remote computer, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.
To open System Information, click Start, and then click Help and Support. Under Support Tasks, click Tools, and then click Help and Support Center Tools. Click Advanced System Information, and then click View detailed system information (Msinfo32.exe).
If the Find options do not appear at the bottom of the System Information window, on the Edit menu, click Hide Find to clear the check mark and restore the options.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
