Free Asset/Job logging/Licence/Audit Software

Is there a nice free bit of software that can help with this type of thing.

I would like to get a bit more organised in tracking my assets, software, licencing etc for Windowz.

Spiceworks / Zabbix are both free.

Spiceworks gets my vote, it's extremely easy to set up and almost takes care of itself. Saying that, I have never used Zabbix.

I've been trialling OpUtils from ManageEngine - it's actually very good, although i don't know how many of the features will disappear once it goes to the free version.

I was originally looking for something which will let me map switch ports and physical port numbers to device 'entities' including physical location, VLAN, IP etc

Thanks guys I like the look of spiceworks will give that a try next week.

Spiceworks itself is easy to setup, you may find you need to push some settings out via a GPO to allow the software to talk to all machines though.

You also need to make sure your rDNS is setup properly.

Check out GLPI with OCNS. Asset / helpdesk / ticketing / inventory scanning. Zabbix is more for realtime server monitoring / log checking etc as I understand it.

Another vote for Spiceworks, it is add driven but that can be removed with a $20 a month subscription.

Try Lansweeper out, better than Spiceworks in my opinion.
