Hello, please ask in the SCOM forum http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/systemcenteroperationsmanagerBest regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

For this you need to use SCCM for this. Check this similar post. Thanks

The best tool is definately going to be, in my opinion, using Microsoft SCCM or another 3rd party enterprise product. However, these systems do require an investment. There are other options. For a no cost solution, I am sure that you can come up with a login script to check for the presence of MS Office (registry, files, etc...) and write back to a logfile or database table. You will need to do some additional research and compare costs. Visit: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.

In the Systems Center suite, you have several tools at your disposal for managing your environment. Operations Manager (SCOM) is used to monitor the health of your systems and applications (in summary), and Configuraiton Manager (SCCM) is mainly used to collect software/hardware inventory, deploy software/updates, configure systems, etc... Can you install it on a PC? Is this just for testing? You may want to do this in a lab environment. Depending on what you install, you may have to modify the AD schema. NOt a good idea if you are just testing. Visit: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.

Thanks. I want to scan my network in the view to know what types of MS Office is installed on all PCs. Please advise the best tool...to be used on my PC. Regards...
