Hi guys,
I'm looking at doing a full asset review for a site (catolog all hardware / software / licenses on a network). Once this is done I will draft Visio maps of network layout etc (nothing has been documented on this site and i'm starting from scratch).
I previously used to do my reviews manually - siw on a machine basis and even go so far as to note if the cd key on the chassis differed to that of the installed key for software e.g Windows and Office). However I now manage too many machines to do so. What would you recommend in this scenario? I've tried Spiceworks - the network probe is incomplete and lacks a ton of detail in terms of assets / results returned.
My other options look to be SIW or Bellarc deployed over the domain and scripted to dump files in a central location so that I can sift through and document everything. Any input on this or any better way of doing this? Looking at doing a review for 50-100 machines.
Thanks and Regards,
J
