Looks like they have a limited freeware version that supports unlimited 
computers but doesn't scan as many items.

Komodo Laboratories - NEWT® Pro vs NEWT® Freeware Comparison Chart
http://www.komodolabs.com/newtcomparison.shtml

Here's their propaganda blurb on why agentless doesn't work:

= Included Stuff Follows =
Komodo Labs - NEWT® Professional

"Network inventory has never been easier. While many competitors rely 
exclusively on agentless methods crippled by remote registry and WMI 
misconfiguration issues, slow operation (single threaded) or high 
bandwidth usage (multithreaded), NEWT® Professional uses a sophisticated 
light-weight (500KB) client automatically deployed to remote machines 
without any user intervention, providing a much faster scan of 100 
machines in less than 5 minutes. "

Running something at the workstation is not "agentless" to my way of thinking.  
It's also not licensed for business use.

I've been using Spiceworks now for 6 months on my largest client network.  It 
should do what you are asking.  You have to open up some ports in the firewall, 
and WMI needs to be running properly on the workstations being inventoried.

Systinternals' psinfo tool will get you a lot of the way there.

WMI scripting will get you a lot further, though.

See, for instance, this page:

I've been using mvPCInfo for about 3 years now and I'm pretty happy with it. 
Executes from the login script. It creates a .xls file but has a viewer to 
organize and view multiple systems.

I used to have Track-IT but got tired of the complexity and feature bloat.
