Have you tried sysaid from ilient software? www.ilient.com? Hope it helps, /David -----Original Message----- From: blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Philip Hall Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2008 4:02 PM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] just joined Thanks for the info Darrell. It looks like a fairly complete program. I should have been more explicit however. I am looking for a pc inventory program which would scan the entire network and create a database of all pcs on the network, even those on other subnets that are connected via hardware VPN routers. We tried one called INventory, but it is pretty much inaccessible using jfw, windoweyes and system access.

Hello Phil,

It depends on what is meant by "PC inventory" software. You may want to check out Belarc Advisor: http://belarc.com/free_download.html

It presents system information in an accessible browser based format.

Hi Phil, Did you quantify the ways in which INventory is inaccessible and write the company a note asking them to make it better? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip Hall" To: "Blind sysadmins list" Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2008 5:01 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] just joined Thanks for the info Darrell.

Everist Ultimate Edition IMHO is the tool of choice for hardware and software inventory. Barry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darrell Shandrow" To: "Blind sysadmins list" Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2008 10:30 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] just joined

Hi. I just discovered this list, and am very glad of it too. I have been asking some of my jaws and sysadmin questions on the jfw mailing list without much success. A year ago, the job of windows sysadmin was dumped into my lap. I am trying to learn as I go without any formal training. I am the entire I.T department.

I hope no one will mind if I ask a few of my current crop of questions. 1. has anyone used avg internet security network with either jaws,windoweyes or system access? 2. how accessible is Microsoft share point? 3. Is there a way to get jaws or windoweyes to say whether something under add/remove windows components is unchecked, partially or fully checked? 4. has anyone used an accessible pc inventory program?

I have many more questions as I said before. At the moment, I am trying to find some place to get some training. What I have been able to learn is mostly from playing with a test server, and using google to find documents on the internet.

Phil
