SQLDiag utility collects diagnostics information from SQL Server(s) including System information. This utility was run against a SQL Server 2012 Developers edition on a Windows 8.1 Professional OS. It is available in all versions starting from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2014.
SQLDIAG collects the following types of information:
•Windows Event Logs (Application, System, and Security) in .CSV files
•System Monitor (aka Perfmon) performance counters in .BLG file/s
•SQL Server Profiler traces in .TRC file/s
•SQL Server Blocking chains in a _BLK.TRC file
•SQL Server error logs, configuration, point-in-time snapshots of several DMVs in
a .OUT file
•System information via the Msinfo32 utility in a .TXT file
You can customize the utility by editing (manually) the XML configuration file
of the utility, SQLDiag.xml
There is also a GUI tool which you can use to visually edit the xml file at the
codeplex site here.

File location on your computer:
If you have installed SQL Server in the present post SQL Server 2012 it should be
installed in the same directory as SQL Server which is usually,
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn
Running it in console:
Open the command CMD preferably in Runas Administrator mode. Change the directory
to the one menitoned above.

Oops! on Windows 8.1 Professional instead of showing the help for this item, it
goes to User Access Control and if you choose to run it, the executbale is run as shown. Probably this is a bug.
Let us take up that problem later. The following console message is received when the program starts:
