I am looking for a free utility that will recover MS XP product keys over a network enviroment. My problem is the place i am now working for has all their XP discs/papers in a box with the sticker still on the manual. I need to know which of the keys goes to which computer. I have a utility that will retrieve the code but I have to actually go to each computer. I want to be able to retrieve all codes from all computers from one location (server if need be). Thanks

What is your network setup? Are you running a Domain with AD? Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

This is exactly what you need. "Computer security." — Oxymoron

Above link looks good. Access macnines remotely. Consider chriscontrol or pcanywhere sort of deal. You might be able to access the drives too. As far as a survey you should go to each compouter and verify each sticker matches the installed product. Sounds like some overtime. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

I apoligize for not commenting earlier. Been a little busy this past week. Network is a Server 2003 running AD on the domain. I havent tried tonysathre link yet but i will post when i see what he had to offer. Thanks

tonysathre... many many many thanks to you!! That is exactly what i needed. Now if i could just find a program that will change that Win XP product key. Seems as if the guy that was here before me loaded 15+ computers with the same key and they only have 5 licenses bought with that code. I have since bought them another open license with 20 licenses but I cant find a program that will change the product key if SP2 has been installed. I hate to have to format all these computers just to get in compliance. any ideas?
