Auditing software.

[sundance1980]

Not sure if this is the rigth area for this question. I am looking to purchase auditing software (something that reports software installed, last login, comuter name etc..) for windows xp and windows NT. We have about 7000 computers. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

SMS 2003 can do this...infact, not only can SMS 2003 tell you if the software is installed, it can tell you if the users are using it.

Great software. I've used it, and it tells usernames, OS's, programs installed, all kinds of stuff. (No, I don't work for them, I truly was impressed with it.)

Hello Sundance1980,

If I might add one more product to the list of suggestions, you may want to take a look at SysTrack from Lakeside Software. (

SysTrack lacks the complicated installation process found with other tools, but encompasses massive scalability (10,000+ machines). SysTrack installs in minutes, and can provide you with all the information you requested above. System name, hardware/software inventory, last log on, usage of applications, website's visited, etc.

Good Luck!
