Been there. They don't offer "auditing only" stuff for large groups (I called and asked). This does work great for single-use auditing, but you can't remotely audit machines with it. I started to use to use this for our servers but it violates the licensing agreement to use it the way I'd like.
I tried the bigger BelArc product but it has more features then we were looking for, and this place already suffers from "too many features, not enough time to learnd and get value out of them" syndrome. I've looked at a zillion (ok maybe just shy of that number) auditing apps for our "corporate auditing solution", and have found I can make KiX work for every impromptu and semi-permanent need. I spit out to CSV or HTML for big-use stuff and individual files for smaller use. I can't get our Unix boxes, but I can get all the Win stuff, even w/out having to log into each of the boxes. What do *you* guys use to audit installed hardware and software??? SOMEONE has to have some cool easy-to-use enterprise-level software. I've even tried Dell OpenManage, which works better for hardware, but the client piece doesn't always play nice w/ non-Dell hardware. KiX (and probably VBS too) can hardware/software audit a LAN from one PC.

V4.12 autodetects the OS w/out using Winver loops/hoops. I'm also updating it to use the v4.12 macros so there's less overhead.

No WinXP, yet. But for WinXP I would add another If statement to check If $WINVER1 = "6.0". Thanks in advance, _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
