Getting Started: First Steps

1. Basic Interface Description

The main window holds:

After the program is started for the first time, the local computer will be automatically added to the computers list. To view details on the computer, select the necessary data group on the tree, and the information on your computer will be displayed on the screen.

 

2. Adding Computers to Inventory List

If you use WMI or agents for gathering remote computers' data, you will have to add computers to the computer list first.

Add computers by clicking on these three toolbar buttons (or select them on the "File" menu):

a. "Add computer" - Adds single computer manually (please specify the computer's address and inventory name).

b. "Add computers from IP range" - Searches computers by IP address or by IP address range. Network computers are searched by pinging (sending ICMP packets) and/or by connecting to specified TCP port (in this case, you will need to allow the program to access the network in your firewall). Tick the needed computers for adding to the inventory list.

c. "Add computers from network neighbourhood" - Searches computers on the Microsoft Windows Network. Tick the needed computers after getting the domain list.

Warning!
The unregistered program cannot add more than three computers to the inventory list after a 30-day trial period. Please purchase a license key for working with the number of computers you need to have inventoried.

 

3. Gathering Remote Computers' Configuration Data

Select computer in the inventory list and then click on a node in the hardware and software tree. The program will try to connect to the remote computer via WMI and get the requested. If that fails, the possible failure reasons will be displayed. Please refer to the WMI Troubleshooting Guide, fix the problems, and try to connect again.

If you cannot configure computers properly, you can ask us for help.
