Spiceworks works pretty well, too. www.spiceworks.com Roger Wright Network Administrator Evatone, Inc. 727.572.7076 x388 _____ From: Gavin Wilby [mailto:gavin.wi...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 6:24 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Network audit software As subject, I need a low cost (read: free) network auditing and monitoring solution. It needs to be able to report back to a server, and let admins know about, disk space, patches installed, programs installed (along with keys), missing updates, security risks, etc.. I realise that to a point that MBSA can do this, but I need a bit more information. We used to use EZ Audit, but its getting pricy to lob it out to clients.
