Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Inside Out Chapter 13
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Inside Out Chapter 13 To list devices on remote computers, use the /S parameter followed by a computer name or Internet Protocol (IP) address to specify a remote computer to query. You can also specify the Run As permissions by using /U followed by the user name and /P followed by the user s password. Here s an example: driverquery /v /s corpserver01 /u wrstanek /p 49iners. You can use the options on the View menu to change the defaults for which types of devices are displayed and how the devices are listed, as follows: . Devices By Type is the default view, and it displays devices by the type of device installed, such as Disk Drive or Printer. . Devices By Connection displays devices by connection type, such as System Board or Logical Disk Manager. . Resources By Type displays the status of allocated resources by type of device using the resource. Resource types are direct memory access (DMA) channels, input/output (I/O) ports, interrupt requests (IRQs), and memory addresses. . Resources By Connection displays the status of all allocated resources by connection type rather than device type. . Show Hidden Devices displays non Plug and Play devices as well as devices that have been physically removed from the computer but that haven t had their drivers uninstalled. To view detailed information about a device, double-click its entry in Device Manager. This opens the device Properties dialog box, as shown in Figure 13-2. Most devices have two tabs, either General and Properties or General and Driver. The most important information in the General tab is the device status. If the device is working properly, this is specifically stated. Otherwise, the error status of the device is shown, and you can click Troubleshoot to start the device troubleshooter. If the device is disabled, you have an option to enable the device instead (as shown in Figure 13-3). The Device Usage list controls a device s status as enabled or disabled. You can temporarily disable a device by selecting Do Not Use This Device (Disable). If you later want to enable the device, you can click the Enable Device button or select the Use This Device (Enable) option on the Device Usage list. 390 Part 4: Managing Windows Server 2003 Systems
