The flexible and accurate inventory tool 

To effectively manage your enterprise, you need an accurate and thorough inventory of your PCs, servers, and remote/mobile systems. Thanks to a variety of deployment and data collection options, Inventory Solution from Altiris meets the demands of today's diverse network environments by gathering comprehensive software and hardware data from virtually any system running a Windows 32-bit OS. (Unix Module Available)


Works in virtually any network environment 

Inventory Solution allows you to inventory everything from on-site LAN and WAN PCs to disconnected remote and mobile systems. The fully configurable agents are simple to deploy, yet non-intrusive to users. Our "Zero Footprint" option even allows you to inventory your systems via a logon script, intranet page, SMS advertisement, or email without installing or leaving a disk footprint on your clients. Or deploy a fully configurable client or add powerful features like full scheduling and €˜caching and forwarding' of inventory data.


Track assets on the web 

Powerful Web-publishing features make tracking and managing data easy, turning any browser into a flexible and comprehensive information system. Numerous prepackaged Web Reports allow you to choose from high quality graphs, tables, and Office 2000 pivot tables. Powerful tools help you to create active reports that let managers "drill down" from summary statistic reports into greater levels of detail, and even prompt end users or runtime data filters and parameters, allowing them to customize reports on the fly. And to ensure data remains secure, Custom Views allow you to control access to all reports.


Track inventory anywhere and anytime 

Inventory Solution goes beyond tracking standard hardware and software information. By collecting Exchange profile information, serial numbers, and MAC addresses, you can track where your systems are located€”even if they've been renamed or moved multiple times.


Running Inventory Solution 

Inventory Solution works with eXpress Notification Server. You install Notification Server (what you get when you download Inventory Solution) and then you configure Inventory Solution. Inventory Solution will work on any Win32 system - Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4, and Windows 2000. You can install the Notification Server client and have it automatically schedule and run Inventory Solution on a repeating basis, or you can simply run the Inventory Solution process on the target system - via the network or even via a floppy. The inventory is reported to Notification Server where you can see the reports and drill down to individual machines. As part of the configuration settings on the Notification Server, you simply specify if you want the Inventory Solution data to be forwarded to Microsoft SMS.


Download Inventory Solution 
You can run Inventory Solution on up to 100 systems for 30 days as part of an evaluation. You will download a program that will help you setup Notification Server and once that is in place you simply configure Inventory Solution from the Notification Server console as outlined in the technical documentation.
