[TriLUG] Open source Inventory Tracking Software?

[Matt Pusateri]

I'm glad your finding it useful.  To fix the windows software being 
populated you will need to install our external proxy on a Windows XP 
box.  There is a configuration wizard that will guide you through this. 
you can get to the wizard  by clicking the admin tab --> Windows 
Management Configuration --> Windows Management Configuration Wizard.   
Also you can paste this into your browser and change the IP/Hostname:  
https://<your_ip_hostname>/admin/winmgt/index.jsp

As for the vulnerability scanning you will need to configure it at: 
Admin --> Vulnerability Scanning Configuration

If you have further questions you can always post them at our new 
community forums. http://forums.commandcenter-noc.com

I'm setting it up now to send automatic notifications and forwarding them to my cell phone via www.teleflip.com. There's still a lot of information not being populated, however, such as the vulnerability assessments (these are mostly M$ boxen so you know that ain't right) and installed software; but I'm quite sure I haven't set up even a fraction of the options necessary to get all of that working correctly. I'll RTFM a bit longer.
