INVENTORYPrivate preview

Know what is on every PC before it is reset

Every PC that runs the client reports its hardware, its software, its drive letters and printers and the line it sits on, and refreshes the report once a day.

  • 11 hardware queries by default
  • 15 reports
  • CSV and TSV export
WHAT IT COLLECTS

What every PC reports

These are the portal's defaults. Two options that touch personal habits are off until you switch them on.

  • Hardware

    Manufacturer, model, serial number, processor, memory, disks, graphics and monitors, read from Windows itself, so the asset list can be checked against what is actually on the desks.

  • TPM

    Whether a TPM is present and its status, next to the operating system, its build and its architecture, per PC.

  • Installed software

    Per machine and per user, 32-bit and 64-bit. The software summary counts installations per package across the fleet; the details list every package per PC.

  • Mapped drives

    Every drive letter and the share behind it. The Z: drive nobody can explain shows up here before it goes missing.

  • Printers

    Name, port and whether a printer is local, per PC.

  • Drives

    The local drives of each PC, so a second disk full of data is not a surprise on the final date.

  • Network

    A test upload of 4 MB measures each PC's line, and the PC reports the network it sits on. That is how groups by location work.

  • Optional

    Outlook accounts and PSTs

    The mail accounts in the Outlook profile and the PST files attached to it. Switched off by default.

  • Optional

    Application starts

    How often each application on the PC is started. Switched off by default.

WITHOUT FILE NAMES

A file report without file names

The anonymized file report lists file type, rounded size, months unchanged and state for every file in scope. No names, no paths. It tells you how much data there is, how old it is and how far the upload got, and it is the report to put in front of the works council or the data protection officer before the first byte moves.
Example data. Sizes are rounded, as in the report.
DISCOVER MODE

See the numbers before anything moves

Every group tells every module what to do: Skip, Discover or Migrate. Discover runs the same scan as a migration and reports what it finds, so the first office can be measured, discussed and adjusted before anything is uploaded.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Add your own queries to the inventory

The hardware queries are a list in the portal, not a feature request: add one, reorder them, remove what you don't need. Next to them, the inventory script returns whatever else the project wants to know per PC, and its result lands in the inventory with everything else. The default script reports the network, the computer name, the user name, the UPN and the user's SID.

Example data.

Start with one group in Discover mode

In the private preview, the client goes out to one group in Discover mode first, and you read the reports a day later. Nothing moves until you say so. Access is by invitation after a short qualification.
