Well, either option, DA, or IBCM, will require you to touch all these machines anyway, which is your root issue, if I read correctly. I would start by getting in touch with the endusers in some manner, to get an up-to-date list of what’s out there.
I have the same type of issue. Half my users are either law enforcement, or scientists, working out of their homes, and in the wilderness. We have IBCM in place, but even with that, it can be difficult to accurately track assets.

However, I have an issue everyone needs to understand. The issue is, we a few hundred machines that do not connect through the network from 3-9months at a time. The applications they use are all web based and there isn’t a need to log into the network. Were still working on an asset inventory (Hopefully SCCM and ServiceNow), Currently no option to verify what is currently is deployed. Thoughts on how to resolve this? James
