Only the administrator's password is needed. There is no need to install agents on remote computers or perform any other preliminary actions for a network scan. Simply install Total Network Inventory 6 on one computer, and swiftly gather data from your entire network.
Define your scan requirements and let the program uncover your network. It identifies all nodes within an IP range, detects workgroup computers, and delineates the domain structure. Choose the nodes, provide logins and passwords for individual assets or groups, and initiate the scan.
In moments, the scan completes and the collected information is stored in the TNI database. Your inventory of PCs and Macs is ready for use right away.
For domain networks, TNI can align its data with Active Directory, allowing for an immediate reflection of the AD structure within the software and providing a comprehensive list of all users and computers in the domain. Just like scanning, AD synchronization can be scheduled for automatic updates.
Organize a list of assets for future or recurring scans and instruct TNI on the preferred timing. Utilize the scheduler to set up sophisticated time-based triggers:
An unlimited number of scheduled tasks can be established with varied triggers to ensure your data remains current without manual intervention.
The TNI storage system is designed for simplicity and efficiency. This PC inventory management system uses a standard folder on your hard drive to represent each networked computer as a separate file. Such organization allows for easy management; files can be effortlessly transferred to various storage locations or securely backed up as needed.
To enhance collaborative efforts, simply share the storage folder with team members, allowing multiple users to access and work with the data from different computers. Security is paramount, so ensure your data's integrity by password-protecting your storage to prevent unauthorized access.
TNI makes hardware accounting comprehensive yet straightforward. You can easily attach detailed notes, inventory labels, and additional textual descriptions, as well as record price and purchase date information for each computer.
This centralized approach ensures all pertinent data is stored in one easily accessible location, making hardware inventory management both flexible and robust.
Visualize your network with a tree diagram that shows a range of data: network name, IP address, inventory number, operating system icon and name, online status, and more. Our inventory monitoring system automatically identifies and flags virtual systems. All this information is searchable – just a snippet of knowledge about a computer allows you to quickly locate it among hundreds.
Our network inventory application allows you to delve into each scanned computer as though it were physically in front of you.
Access comprehensive details about hardware, operating systems, installed software, antivirus programs, user accounts, and more, all neatly categorized within the reports section.
Incorporate an unlimited array of computers and categories into a single report for thorough analysis.
The report builder is designed to display asset inventory data in an easy-to-understand and detailed table format. You have complete control over the data that appears in your reports, tailoring them to meet your specific needs.
Reports can be produced in either a summarized or detailed format, then copied to a spreadsheet processor, or exported to various formats including XLSX, PDF, RTF, CSV, HTML, and others.
For regular report generation, the Task scheduler automates this process. Set it up once, and it will routinely generate reports, export them in the format you select, and then distribute them via email or save them to an FTP server, ensuring you always have the latest data at your fingertips.
Utilize the power of scanning and printing custom barcodes with our barcode inventory management feature. This practice significantly speeds up the search for assets and minimizes the errors commonly associated with the manual identification of devices.
