An Asset Management and Inventory Solution

If you are just looking for Asset Management and Inventory, rather than the whole help desk package, Network Asset Tracker Pro, by MIS Utilities might be your solution. Network Asset Tracker Pro gathers information about users, connections, running processes, software on individual computers, and software quantity on the entire network.

The application scans your network segment for machines and adds their information to its database. It allows you to search for computers in four different ways: across the entire current network segment, by an IP address range, through manual entry of computer names, and by importing text files of computer names. Once you have added your machines to the inventory, you can reach out and gather information individually or for the entire group of machines.

All things considered, MIS Utilities' Network Asset Tracker Pro is a simple, non-agent-based tool that can be a great help to smaller companies without fortress-like security policies in place.

Free PC Audit - Find out everything there is to know about your computer

No one likes the word "audit," even auditors hate it. But in this case it's not so bad. There are many occasions when you need to know what your computer's thingamabob is, or what model whatzis it has. Who the hell knows the answers to those kinds of questions? Well I suppose some people know that stuff, but you really don't want to think too much about them.

For the rest of us there's Free PC Audit, a standalone executable, so it doesn't need to be installed. Just open the executable file when needed.

The main use for this application can be narrowed down to its portability. It's rather lightweight and fits perfectly on USB devices. Could be used to get a first quick overview of a computer system without having to run any locally installed applications.
