lanauditor automatically inventories networked file servers and workstations for details of their hardware and software configurations, resources and compliance. Information from non-networked (stand-alone) workstations can also be audited and included in the lanauditor database. With lanauditor, you no longer have to physically examine each workstation to determine its characteristics.

Two step process; first, agents gather data into a central repository from the various enterprise platforms, and secondly, having left the agents run for perhaps a few days to ensure all workstation data is captured, an "Inventory Update" is performed to the main database, which can be either server or workstation based. This main database is where your inventory, asset management and compliance reports are run.

Very reasonable actually, when you consider there is a fixed rate per node (server or workstation or Mac) including ALL platforms. Some competitors charge extra for server/platform modules. (lanauditor prices starts with $ 13.5/node).

No, there is a walk around disk feature that lets you audit stand alone nodes. Some users even prefer to do their whole audit this way so they can add/read/remove physical asset tags at the same time.

Yes, a wide range. The console has a set of standard reports (eg. software license compliance) but custom queries and reports can be created from the console module. Using exception reports, you can even highlight changes since the previous audit. If you prefer to use Access or Excel to manipulate data, simply export what you need from the lanauditor console.

lanauditor does not use any TSRs, NLMs or NT services, it is designed for zero system impact, and has very few operational problems as a consequence. lanauditor is normally set up to execute from the network by inclusion in the system login script or profile, and requires no workstation resources other than the few seconds it takes to perform the audit, and that according to the pre-defined audit schedule.

lanauditor was designed as an audit tool - period. Many of its users tell us they like it this way. If you really need remote control or diagramming, consider Clicknet or VisuaLAN (if you have Visio), both of which are mentioned on our web site. Both these tools incorporate the lanauditor audit engine.

lanauditor relies on info from manufacturers to state bios compliance, so When the version was written if the manufacturer was not 100% sure of Compliance status la was told to report "unknown". As manufacturer Information improves we hope to get this incorporated into later versions And further improve the detection rate.
Do look at the other fields, however. You can tell a lot from the bios date And chip info. For example, a clone bios (ami or phoenix) that supports a Pentium II will be Y2K compliant.

We wished it did, however the developers had two issues which meant that They decided against it: (1) each manufacturer puts it somewhere different (2) it would really slow down the audit. Although it won't do it Automatically, you can keep tabs on license info thru the edit / add record / software license function.
