RE: Workstation / Device Inventory
You can also look at CA's ship it. It has a lower load on the CPU but cost more $. ping me off list if you would like more info.

Client OS can be Macintosh, Win 3.1x, Win9x, any variation of NT, and OS/2. To bring this back to Cisco: SMS will poll devices such as routers, and report their existence to the central site, and it is SNMP aware.

Something that will record software installed, versions, hardware specs, etc. Preferably the polling could be done from a central location, that is; the application will roam the network, touch each workstation, and report back to one machine. All workstations will be visited in any case, so if it's something that needs to be done individually that would be fine as well. I believe What's Up Gold will report all my Cisco devices, is there a Cisco (or other) application that will delve deeper for me? I am going to a new site to inventory software and hardware, as well as create a network map over ~8 buildings.
