Getting Started
1. Basic Interface Description
The program includes the main window and several auxiliary windows:
- Adding computer (Editing computer's properties)
- Adding computers from IP address range
- Adding computers from network neighbourhood
- Report wizard
- Settings
The main window contains the following elements:
- Inventory list of computers (upper left part)
- Tree with hardware and software groups of WMI data: processor, memory, disk drives, OS type, hotfixes, etc. (bottom left part)
- Pane with data received from remote computer (right part)
2. Checking Access to Local WMI Data
After the first launch of the program, the local computer will be added to the list of computers in the top left corner of the main window. Click a tree node in the bottom left corner (for example, "Processor, Motherboard"). The right part of the main window should show the selected information. If something is wrong, please refer to the WMI Troubleshooting Guide.
3. Searching and Adding Computers to Inventory List
Add computers by clicking on these three toolbar buttons (or select them on the "File" menu):
- "Add computer" - Adds single computer manually (please specify the computer's address and inventory name).
- "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.
- "Add computers from network neighbourhood" - Searches computers on the Microsoft Windows Network. Tick the needed computers after getting the domain list.
4. Getting 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 can not configure computers properly, you can ask us for help.
