Hi can you tell me of a software that I can use to be able to collect all information something like system info for my servers and workstation, such as application, memory Ip Address, Mac Address and so on, something that goes deep into the PC and checks everything, I tried looking for something but I don't know what name to look for, can you help? Thanks

For Microsoft OSes, there's MS SMS (System Management Server).

What you are looking for is called "system management software" ; there's lots of them out there. It pretty much depends on which operating systems you are using, how much you want to spend, and the features you are looking for.

Again, it can make a difference depending on our OS.
My favorite Windows tool is DameWare NT Utilities (www.dameware.com). It is the best!! You get a 30-day full trial, then you must buy it.

Now, a more generic tool is NetworkView (www.networkview.com). This will give you IP and MAC info, plus it is SNMP compliant, so if you have the MIBs for SNMP running on your systems, then NetworkView will give you all kinds of stuff. Best of all, it is free (with nag screens).

hope this helps

There are several products available that I can suggest, one in particular is called SMS and runs on most windows platforms. There are several others. If you wish I would suggest that you do an internet search for "system inventory" applications or "asset management" type applications. I am sure when you review the return you will find several products that should meet your needs. If you need any additional information please feel free to contact me.

Best Regards,
George

Try HP Openview

Oh by the way - can you other folks think of other solutions besides Microsoft, or are you totally brainwashed (i.e. Anna777)

GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner
Is great for reading a great deal of information about the services and IP/MAC on you network.
It's a good looking report too. The Ver 2 is weak on knowing the differant between UNIX and Mac. I have not tried the beta for 3. (Just noticed it when I attached the URL below)
