Does anyone know of any good software that will tell me what software is installed on a PC/network of PCs? We have a lot of customers that dont know what they have installed on all of their pcs and they want to regulate what is being put on PCs andalso to make sure there is no piracy on their network. If anyone knows of any good software that audits software, could you fill me in (product, company, website) Easy Points for a little info. Thanks in advance

Try using LanAuditor 4.0 I think thats the latest version they have. It's a really good software once you get to know how to use it. I really like this software. I think this is the best auditor I have ever used.

I use TrackIT from www.blueocean.com. I have found it really simple to use. It also give hardware information. It picks up the software they have, ram, harddrive, free space on the harddrive, processor, etc. You can download an evaluation verison from their website.

- Try using the MARCH security software, I guess it can help you out. For future strategy, may be you can prevent users from installing any softwares by using the Windows NT access rights. If you can use Microsoft's SMS, this will allow you to remotely install softwares on the PCs and therefore the users' will not do it themselves.
