Inventory Benchmark

["Barton, Robert W." <bartonrt () LEWISU EDU>]

Morning,

In trying to evaluate our inventory process; I'm trying to figure out a good benchmark for our inventory percent 
managed/known.  I would like to say, that at any given time, we only have X% of unknown hardware.  So, if you asked on 
Tuesday, I could say we only have 115 machines unaccounted for in Symantec because they are off site, down, or 
otherwise non-communicating (115 = 5%).  That unknown number would need to included inventory issues/errors, 
non-reporting machines (off site, or down), and machines not controlled yet.  10% to high?  5% to strict?
