How to get a total network inventory of all the computers and software on your network

If you are a network administrator, you have no doubt been in many situations before where you need to have these essential software and hardware statistics, but you have to manually probe each computer rather than having an automatically updated network inventory.

Of course this takes a lot of time, so imagine if you could have a complete network inventory accessible automatically and remotely. Using this especially useful application, Total Network Inventory, you can do exactly that. This application will automatically scan your entire network, querying all the workstations and servers on it.

It will then give you data about all these different parts of hardware and software installed on each machine and appliance installed on the network. You don't have to install anything else on the other computers, and in a matter of minutes, this application can do everything for you.

What's more, it doesn't even matter how large or diverse your network is. This application will be able to do the work just perfectly, even if you have a highly extensive business type environment with dozens if not hundreds of computers on the network. Collecting all the information you need in real-time, you'll be able to get to it without even leaving the desk.

To give you an idea of some of the sorts of details that this application will give you, it will give you data regarding hardware that each workstation and server has. Some of the hardware data included, but not limited to, is the workstation manufacturer, model, motherboard type and any other peripherals installed.

It will also give details about the type of operating system installed including the version and also data about all the updates and service packs that have been installed, if any. However, it doesn't end here. It will also give you data about all the additional applications installed on the hardware, and what's currently running.

It also gives you a better way to securely monitor multiple machines over a network, since it will also tell you which processes are currently running on the machine. It will also list the user accounts being used, including information about the people that are using the machine.

Another great use for this network inventory application is if you are thinking about upgrading certain computers on your network. You can simply go through the data offered by the application to find which devices are letting down the network. Machines with older hardware or computers which need software updates to the operating system can easily be filtered.

Total Network Inventory will also be able to scan the network from a distance, and you don't need to ever install anything on to the hardware being probed. It takes security very seriously, and will not allow any data to leave your network. The application also includes various step-by-step wizards, making things even simpler.
