Name

DriverQuery — \windows\system32\driverquery.exe

Synopsis

Although Device Manager (see the Microsoft Management Console) displays a hierarchal view of all the devices attached to the system, only Driver Query (included in Windows XP Professional only) provides a comprehensive list for every installed driver, either on the local machine or any remote computer on the network. Run DriverQuery without any options to print out the basic list, or use one of the following options:

driverquery [/fo format] [/nh] [/si] [/v] [/s system 
[/u user [/p password]]]

Option

Description

/fo format

Specify the format of the display: /fo table for a formatted table, /fo list, for a plaint text list, or /fo csv for a comma-separated report.

/nh

If using the /fo table or /fo csv format (above), the /nh option turns off the column headers.

/v

Displays additional details about unsigned drivers.

/si

Displays additional details about signed drivers.

/s system

Connect to a remote system.

/u user /p password

Specify a user account and password under which the command executes.
