Server Info is a desktop widget which integrates with the desktop
background on a laptop, desktop or server. The story behind the
creation of this tool was made under frustration with the development
of BG-Info which often needed additional configuration for remote desktop
users in order to see it, particularly for servers running 2012 or later.
The tool doesn't just integrate with the desktop, but provides additional
customizable features, some of them aimed towards the average desktop
user, but primarily to help standardize, provide information and to aid in
the administrative tasks of server administrators.
The "ServerInfo.exe" can be dropped into the startup folder, and will
provide the default information similar to the above image.
A separate tool "ServerInfoConfiguration.exe" is used to customize the
features of the desktop widget, which can be changed depending on the
level of access, which is particularly handy if used on Terminal Servers,
or other systems where not administrative users may access.
The software can also help to brand systems using customized text,
such as "This is Contoso Managed Server" for example.
