How do I manage the the configurations of 30 computers?

by jon . Updated 15 years, 2 months ago

I have a small company with about 30 computers and 5 servers on our LAN. We are finding it impossible to keep up with which computer is where, what the configuration is for a particular PC, etc. We constantly “shift” the computers around to put the higher performing computers into the spots that demand the higher computing power. The result is that we don’t know which computers have:

– licensed MS Office,
– dual headed video cards,
– had the virus protection upgraded,
– what the IP address is,
– at least 4gb RAM, etc,etc,etc.

Is there a utility that would allow me to sit at my desk (or even physically go to each PC) and get a complete hardware and software status of each computer? I’d like to build a database of pertinent detailed info. Any Suggestions?
