Network Inventory Software Update

Development Update for AuditWizard Network Inventory Software

September 6th, 2010.

AuditWizard v8.2.0 is currently in development and will feature three major new features and a number of bug fixes.

New Registry Key Crawler - an all new algorithm and registry crawler has been implemented to significantly improve the data collection of installed products, version numbers, serial numbers and products keys, including Microsoft, Adode and other major vendors.

New Ownership / Asset Management tabs for assets - Users will now be able to assign ownership of assets to a user, including creating customizable fields which can include data such as lease agreements, address details, or any information required. All the fields will be fully customizable enabling you to design the data fields to meet your needs exactly.

Automatic Update of the AuditAgent - If AuditWizard discovers a deployed audit agent is an earlier version to the current one available, it will automatically deploy the new audit agent to the asset. This feature will detect if the audit agent is out of date at the time of uploading a new audit.

Other Enhancements include:

Add Asset Type to Custom Report options
Redesign Email Status Report
