and stores it in a centralized ODBC database.

This information is then immediately exploitable using:

• 50 predefined reports

How does WinReporter^® work ?

WinReporter installs in minutes on a computer running Windows NT4, 2000, XP or 2003.

The solution doesn’t require any further configuration for the environments to audit or any agent deployment.

The computers to scan and the information to be gathered are selected within a few clicks using the scan assistant.

A tool-tip explanation for each component is displayed as the curser moves over the field.
