lightweight inventory

[Guest_imported]

Hi - I want a very lightweight inventory tool that does the following:

-gets basic hardware and software information from PCs and servers so we can make decisions for an upgrade project

-is very easy to deploy, client can be deployed using email, login scripts or any other process

-need an access or sql db as a result

-should not require infrastructure servers, WINS, DNS or a managed environment. Best if the client can ftp the results to an ftp service.

-just sent this reply to another question but it may be appropriate here...

You may want to look at QuickInventory from

http://www.1e.com.

It is an easy to use program that consists of:

a client side exe that gets basic software and hardware inventory. It ftp's this back to the server service so it'll work across offices, internet etc.

the server side exe, takes the files and collates them into an access database.

The tool is very simple and has no real infrastructure costs. The client exe can be deployed using email, scripts etc. It not the best inventory tool out there but is probably the simplest one I have seen, also costs less than most other tools.
