In this example, assume that you want an inventory for the Dynamic File Services pair that has a primary path of e:\. You perform the following tasks to manually generate a report:
Use a text editor to create a command file called FScommands.txt in the Dynamic File Services folder. The first line is the primary path for the pair. The second line requests a summary report to be created and specifies the output file for the summary report. The third line requests a detailed report to be created and specifies the output file for the detailed report. No inventory options are specified, so all inventory options are enabled.
e:\ /summary=e:\mySummary.xml /detailed=e:\myDetails.xml
Log in to the server as the Administrator user, or as a user in the Administrators group.
Open a Command Prompt console, then go to the Dynamic File Services folder.
At the prompt, enter
DswInventory.exe FSCommands.txt
The summary results are written to the e:\mySummary.xml file. The following is sample output of a summary report:

The detailed results are written to the e:\myDetails.xml file. The following is sample output from a detailed report. Omitted entries are replaced by an ellipsis (…).
