Tools: BGInfo silent run and no license agreement

BGInfo is very useful when managing dozen of Windows Servers in physical and virtual environments. I even managed to get this tool deployed to all client computers at work. It has a huge value for support personal.

Since SysInternals has been taken over by Microsoft it now shows a “License Agreement” windows. Sure this is not a problem on the servers; but for client computers we don’t want to bug users with these windows.

What should users do?

We have two flavors to solve this:

Create a reg file and import the key below
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sysinternals\BGInfo]
"EulaAccepted"=dword:00000001
I prefer the command line below in a cmd cript which is storen All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder
C:\WINDOWS\Bginfo.exe almatis.bgi /timer:0 /silent /NOLICPROMPT

/NOCICPROMPT option will skip the license window. Imagine having 1000+ users clicking on the window.

agreement, BgInfo, eula, license, Script, skip
