Do I need to install CI Discovery network auditing software on each computer I want to audit?
No--that's one of the reasons IT managers are talking about CI Discovery. Our proprietary technology allows CI Discovery computer inventory software to audit computers on a network without any software installation. All NT/2000/XP and most Windows 95/98/ME computers don't require special installation of the software. Either network login scripts or a small executable file (not requiring installation)
is used. Even non-networked machines and laptops (NT/2000/XP or 95/98/ME) can be audited. All
that is required is to run a small executable (still no installation
required) on the workstation, which can be done at the workstation. You can
even send the single executable through email to the workstation to be
audited, or have the user download and launch it from a web page.
