Looking for freeware
Hello All,
I need to scan my entire work network for rogue software programs, but my boss does not want to spend any money.
I found one called PC Inventory Advisor but that has a time limit of 15 days and will not let me print out any reports while I am still in Trial Mode.
Any help would be wonderful.
Regards,
JJArms~

How about PowerShell?
Make a listfile of the computers you wish to scan, or use Quest AD CMDlets to get the computer accounts in the domain. Assign it a variable of let's say $computers.
$computers | gwmi Win32_Product | select __server,name,vendor,version
Tack on | export-csv file.csv to make a report if you want...
One liners rule all...Good luck to all! -

I've used spiceworks it lists every software/programs/updates installed in a particular device very powerful, although I had issue running it on a subnetted network. -

OCS Inventory is pretty decent.We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place?
