A network inventory tool that enables technicians to inventory a single computer
Computer Census was developed for the journeyman Technician who works with smaller networks. It quickly determines how many computers there are in a network installation and collects related technical details about each of those computers. Computer Census uses Microsoft technologies to inventory and report operating system, hardware, network, and standard software installed on a computer.
Benefits of Computer Census are:
Small Footprint – The exe fits on a CD or flash drive
Authoritative – Computers report the current configuration – no more guessing
Consistent – Each computer receives the same set of information requests
Data Rich – Over 200 key data points are reported
Fast – On average, data is collected in 60 seconds or less per computer
Manipulate Output – The text file and Access database can be used by a wide variety of productivity tools for additional analysis
No Agents – Unlike some inventory programs nothing is installed or running on remote target computers.
Runs Locally – No web access is required and no administrative privileges are required to collect information from the local computer.
No Installation – No msi file or anything to install on a server or workstation. Relies on standard components of the Microsoft Windows operating systems (Windows 2000 and later).
Easy to use – Type the command and accept the license: No special technical skills are needed to use the program or its output.
Portable – The exe runs on any computer that has the required Operating System components
Discovery – In a domain, it can automatically build a list of computers to inventory
Low Impact -Remote computer Users may notice disk drive activity during hardware data collection but no other activity is apparent. Since computers are inventoried sequentially, only a small amount of network bandwidth is used.
No SLA Impact – Because of the low impact, the tool can be run during normal business hours without affecting Service Level Agreements or interrupting normal business activities.
No or low cost – Free to inventory up to 3 computers sequentially in a session, just $95.00 for an unlimited number of computers sequentially in a session.
