SharePoint Asset Inventory Tool released

So, you’re called in to a large organization that is wanting to do a consolidated MOSS rollout for an enterprise intranet.  You’ve been warned that due to some rather “relaxed” attitudes toward server deployments, there are a number of pre-existing WSS servers scattered throughout the enterprise that should be migrated toward the central platform.

You’ve got a day or so to pull an inventory together, and by the way: The guy who knew where all these servers are is currently vacationing in the Swiss Alps.  What do you do?  What do you do?

Download the SharePoint Asset Inventory Tool on a server that has wide-ranging visibility and permissions and let it do the work:

The SharePoint Asset Inventory Tool allows IT professionals to inventory all of the computers in the network and identify servers that have SharePoint installed on them. The information gathered by the tool is used to generate reports that give IT the information it needs to bring the servers under its control. This allows the resources of the ever-changing SharePoint environment to be optimized and adjusted as needed.

There are only three (3) things you need to have installed on the host server to make the magic happen:

1. SQL 2005
2. SQL Server Reporting Services
3. .NET Framework 2.0

Go forth, be inquisitive and crafty!
