That reminds me, I installed OSSIM on a test box from the ISO installer recently, and OCS Inventory integrated with it nicely, all you had to do was install the client which came in a nice pre-made package. It reported everything you could ever think of on the machine.
Not sure if it (OCS, or OCS+OSSIM, for that matter) can do everything you want, as I've only played around with it a little, but it sure looks promising. cb -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 8:58 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Keeping track of all this IT stuff I'm looking at GLPI plus OCS-NG, when I have the time to implement it.
