Hello to all: I have been put in charge of gathering a list of applications installed on all company computers (currently around 30+), obtaining BIOS information, and performing system log checks. I know there are applications which will do this, but I do not know how often this will need to be done, and I suspect it will not be too often. Therefore, how have you attacked this problem? What tool(s) have you used? We have NT 4 workstations, 2000 workstations, NT 4 Servers, and some Solaris and Linux boxes. If needed, I could set up another NT or UNIX box so as not to disrupt production machines. In addition to the inventory check, I need to put in place a method of regularly checking NT and UNIX system logs to send me alerts (via email) of low disk space, performance issues, etc. What methods have people used for this? Thanks for any leads.
