Lansweeper - a complete software, hardware, asset inventory of your windows network.

Lansweeper is a powerful freeware solution without any embedded ads to make a complete software, hardware, asset inventory of your windows network. No need to install a client on your workstations, all scanning is done through the use of WMI, fileshares and remote registry access. You can use lansweeper with unlimited clients (no restrictions) One lansweeper service can handle over 10.000 clients (depending on your server specifications)

Network inventory advantages:
* Automatic inventory of all your Windows clients.
* No need to install clients on the workstations.
* Query and store the registry keys you specify from all your clients.
* Find unknown running processes, spyware, browser hijacks, ... running in your company.
* Use the webconsole or custom queries to use your gathered information.
* Combine the information found with active directory details.
* Lansweeper stores all information in SQL server (or in the free SQL Express version)


Advantages of hardware and software inventory done by lansweeper:
Most commercial applications are very expensive and are licensed on a "per device" model. The only limitations of lansweeper are the speed of your server and your bandwidth. By using free databases like MSDE and SQL express you can make your own queries and reports to enhance the program.

Software inventory problems in other applications:
* You have to install clients (software / agents) on your workstations.
* Scanning is triggered or scheduled at time intervals.
* Laptop users coming into your network only every 2 months aren't scanned.
* Scanning takes a long time.
* You do not get all the information you want from the scans.
* You cannot scan for custom files or registry keys.

Lansweeper solves these network inventory problems with a simple line in the logon script of each user.The first time somebody logs on at a new computer the computer is automatically scanned and all hardware and software inventory is done.
