Global Network Inventory

Global Network Inventory is a robust software and hardware inventory system that is flexible and easy to use. Designed for use in zero deployment and agent-free environments, this software can be used as an audit scanner, requiring only full administrator rights to remote computers you wish to scan.

With Global Network Inventory, you can audit not only remote computers, but also network appliances such as hubs, network printers, and document centers. The software's agent can be deployed to perform regular audits initiated through domain login scripts when users log onto the network. In this scenario, the Global Network Inventory agent is exported to a shared network directory, and audit results are collected in an audit repository directory as snap files before being merged into the main database.

Some of the key features of Global Network Inventory include the ability to scan computers by IP range, by domain, or defined by a host file. It also provides reliable IP detection and identification of network appliances, so you can scan only the items that you need by customizing scan elements. Additionally, you can view scan results, including historic results, for all scans, individual machines, or selected number of addresses.

The software is fully customizable with layouts and color schemes on all views and reports. You can export data to HTML, XML, Microsoft Excel, and text formats while also customizing printing. You can schedule inventory scans to run at specified times, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annually. You also have the ability to generate reports on schedule after every scan, daily, weekly, or monthly. These reports can be saved on disk, sent via email, or both.

The program comes with dozens of customizable reports, and new reports can be easily added through the user interface. Audits can be performed by deploying a scan agent through the domain login script, and licenses are network-based rather than user-based.

Overall, Global Network Inventory is a top-of-the-line software solution that provides a wide range of tools and features to effectively and efficiently manage your software and hardware inventory needs.
