i'm reading thru the kix manual trying to find a macro that will do a software inventory scan of the pc. my question is 2 fold. 1- is there such a function and if so, what is it. and 2- once this function is in effect, how do i view all of the results. i am running kix thru the netlogon share of a win2k server. does i have to create a file there or does it do that automatically, or is that not how it's done at all. excuse my ignorance, i have never tried anything like this with kix and really don't know where to begin. thanks in advance for any ideas you may have...

KiX has no built-in function or command with the sole intention of doing a software inventory. That said however, there are lots of creative programmers that have some very elaborate systems developed. Try searching the board as this has been discussed often.

Please take a look at this posting here for one method.

Make sure you're using KiXtart v4.22 though.

There are also a couple of versions here that also log inventory info to MS-Access as well as SQL Server too.

Yeah, hopefully here soon I'll get enough free time to work on putting this or similar into SQL as well.

Really a much better way to go.
