We need to get Office install numbers and compare them to license counts in order to ensure compliance. What tools are there for querying software installations on the network?

  • We have used OCS Inventory in the past with good success.

  • Additionally, Tracmor looks interesting as well, but perhaps for a slightly different need.

  • Lastly, Fusion Inventory looks like it might be helpful as well.

  • The one thing that we did not care for with SpiceWorks was the inclusion of all of the adds that appeared within the product and the large amounts e-mail that one receives from the company.

Spiceworks will do this, and it's free and awesome.

  • Thanks for this link. I'd seen this during my many, many research travails and I meant to go back to it. Your post has re-piqued my interest... – GregD Nov 18 '10 at 15:12

Network Asset Manager is lightweight and free:

It does not do automated scans (yet), but works well for cases where you have machines with non-domain joined (i.e. different credentials) to get admin.
