Each command-line to be used to create a report should include the following report creation option:

Examples:  

• Full network audit to shared folder in CSV format
  • AIDA64 /R \\server\share\folder\$HOSTNAME /CSV /AUDIT /SILENT /SAFE
    • Saves a CSV audit report named after the computer’s hostname ($HOSTNAME) to a shared network folder.
    • /AUDIT profile: generates a concise hardware + software audit list.
    • /SILENT: runs without showing the AIDA64 GUI.
    • /SAFE: runs in safe mode to avoid low-level hardware access that could cause issues on sensitive systems.
       
• HTML summary report for summary-only view
  • AIDA64 /R C:\Reports\$HOSTNAME-summary.html /HTML /SUM /SILENT /SHOWP
    • Only includes the “Computer / Summary” page via /SUM profile.
    • HTML format suitable for printing. /SHOWP shows progress but prevents cancellation.
       
• MHTML with hardware details only and delayed start
  • AIDA64 /R C:\Reports\$HOSTNAME-hw.mht /MHTML /HW /SILENT /DELAY 30 /IDLE
    • Produces an MHTML report containing only hardware pages with /HW.
    • Starts after a 30‑second delay and runs at low priority using /IDLE.

/SUBJ <subject>

This option can be used with /E to specify the subject of the e-mail to be sent. In the subject it is possible to include special file control strings.

Example:  AIDA64 /E admin@company.com /SUBJ "Report of $HOSTNAME" /CSV /AUDIT /SILENT /SAFE

Upload Reports to FTP

/FTPUPLOAD [reportfile]

This option can be used to create a report and upload it to a FTP server. When no reportfile is specified, the report is uploaded using the file name configured on the page Preferences / Report / Report File. For configuration independency it is recommended to specify reportfile in the command-line. Reports are automatically compressed if it is enabled on the page Preferences / Report. FTP connection parameters should be configured on the page Preferences / Report / FTP.

Example:  AIDA64 /FTPUPLOAD $HOSTNAME /CSV /AUDIT /SILENT /SAFE
