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.
