Since version 2.9 the program can export computer inventory information to an external source (such as an SQL database or a text file) automatically from the command-line parameters. With this feature you can set up the Windows Scheduler Service to run the export feature on a regular basis, and always have up-to-date computer inventory information in your SQL database or on your web site.

When launched with the command-line parameters described below, the program does not open its main window but runs a "silent" job and exports information to an external location as is specified in the parameters.

The command-line syntax of the export command is simple:
Admin.EXE /export /source:"source_path" /target:/"target_path_or_ODBC_datasource" /template:"template_path" /ODBC:[YES|NO]

where:

/export key means that the program should start the export process rather than show the program's main window

/source:"source_path" parameter specifies the folder with the computer information XML files you wish to export. This parameter can point to the root of the programs data folder if you wish to export all the computer information files, or to one of its subfolders that represent company departments if you need to export only the information from this department, or to any other folder if you wish the program to seek computer information XML files in that folder. If the path contains spaces, it should be enclosed in doublequotes.

/target:"target_path_or_ODBC_datasource" parameter specifies either the folder on the local or network disk the exported information should be stored in, or the name of an ODBC data source if you wish to export computer inventory information to an SQL database. If the path to this folder or the name of the ODBC data source contains spaces, it should be enclosed in doublequotes.

/template:"template path" parameter specifies what export template should be used to export information. For the list of the export templates pleease check the contents of the \Export\ folder in the programs home directory. If the templates folder path contains spaces, it should be enclosed in doublequotes.

/ODBC:[YES|NO] parameter specifies whether the value of the /target parameter points to a disk folder or to an ODBC data source
