Remote Audit
This utility can either be scheduled to run a remotely (as silent
audit with no user interaction), or linked to a User Dialog to perform a PC audit.
The scheduled Remote Audit periodically checks for flagged PCs being online on the
client network. If online, it remotely executes the audit agent to silently captures details from the PC directly into the DMS. This mode is typically used when the
client AD infrastructure does not support login event logging, and separate method
is needed to find PCs associated users.
The audit agent can also be invoked by the User Dialog utilities combining communication,
user dialog, and an automatic PC audit. This mode is typically used as a part of
the Registration step, and may also identify a user's PCs where the client AD infrastructure
does not support login event logging.
Data fields captured include:
Recent Users
Serial Number
Hardware model
RAM
CPU
Installed applications
The audit data combined with the AD extracted data provides a comprehensive
Asset Inventory which can be used for planning or scheduling deployment projects,
or performing integrity checks and/or updates to existing inventory systems.
