I am looking for free ware that will track the software installed on pcs and servers over a network. Is there anything out there that will work for free? We have a windows 2000 network. Thanks!

The free utility from belarc is limited.
It is great for a single PC, but could be a pain to manage for a site.
I think you would need to install and run it on each PC, and save the results page.

Microsoft also has a free software inventory utility.

I don't know if it tracks other brands of software.

What is do is I run Dameware NT Utilities to scan my NT/2K boxes. It can export the installed software information for every machine in a domain. It basically export the information you see in the Add/Remove Programs window.
I believe this functionality also works against Win9x machines.

The dameware looks pretty promising. I've downloaded and installed all the components, but can't figure out how to check out the installed software. Am I missing the obvious? Thanks for your tips!
