Here's the deal: I am trying to work on an internal audit
of hardware and
software in my district so we will be prepared when the Giant of the North
(inevitably?) comes knocking. I am curious what tricks any of you might
have come up with to make the process of collecting information from
computers go more quickly and smoothly. I have looked at software from
Belarc and Lanauditor, which would be ideal, but are far too costly for my
poor little school district; that money could buy a lot of books (or
licenses for OS's for that matter...).
Quentin,
We use a program called Track-it put out by Blue Ocean Software. It is a
help desk ticketing system as well as an inventory and purchasing system.
It has a module that will audit a computer via a web interface to the
Track-it server, but it has to be done at the computer you are auditing. I
didn't purchase the software so I don't know the cost. We are running a
Win NT 4.0 network. Hope this helps. I can't help you on open source
programs that will do this.
