Ok...the last time I managed a Windows network was in late 1990s with NT 4.0. I been in web development since that time. Anyhow, I wanted to take on some extra work, and a friend of mine works at a company where their network administrator had died.
Long story short - there is about 60 PCs all on a peer to peer workgroup. Each PC has like 5-10 user accounts on it. All PCs are islands of data. It's a mess to say the least.
Anyhow....the problem I am having is licensing issues. No one knows where any software licensing documentation is, and I having to search for CDs and serial keys whenever I need to reinstall any software. It's a nightmare.
Anyhow, is there any software out there that I can run that can take a snapshot of any running software and product keys on each computer connected to the network so I can document this information?
Thanks TJ
Sorry to hear about the network admin.. Belarc can do this. It takes an audit of the PC and greps the product keys from the registry. And turn that network into a domain pronto!
