I have experience with (well at least demoed) audit software by Ecora (http://www.ecora.com/ecora/products/enterprise_auditor.asp) which will give you more than you could ever want to know about the configurations of your remote systems via agentless acquisition. I would have purchased it, but its licensing scheme is per node and a bit cost prohibitive for my needs (200+ servers). A quick Google found another company, Pedestal Software (http://www.pedestalsoftware.com/products/se/) which will audit and even remove unauthorized software based upon user definition or best practices. Never used them myself, but a quick look seems like it might work.

We often have to perform inventories of systems that are 2 states away and don't went to have to travel to get the information. By policy and regulation we have full access to all these systems, and can pull pretty much anything off them remotely. I am looking for a tool that I can launch from a central location that will capture a list of all software installed on a system. I don't want an enterprise level software management system. We have that already, but it's not much use when dealing with obscure or unknown software. Any suggestions beyond writing something myself Thanks KD>
