The OCS Inventory the other guy mentioned I found to be not that effective.
Lansweeper has been great for us.

Subject: Microsoft Software Auditing ?

Hello,

        Does any body know of any free / cheap Microsoft auditing software ?

Ideally I would like something that could be run from a login script, 
that would find all the software currently installed and either:

store it in a network drive (excel, html,txt)
e-mail the data

I do not want to have to take out a loan to buy this software.

preferably open source :)

Michael
