Express Metrix. Works like a champ, does everything you list, and then some. Will provide OS, hardware, and software reports. You can use it to meter application usage as well. This is one that you could use to generate your license compliance reports and (according to the software LARs, like Softchoice) MS will accept that as verification of compliance.

What do you all use for this please? We're looking for something and of course you have lots of products all of which promise a lot. The sort of things we're looking to do is run regular scans of PC's to capture installed software, recognised, unrecognised software, keep track of how many instances of Package X we have installed vs. how many we have licensed.
