OCS
INVENTORY SERVER SIDE CONFIGURATION:
OCS
Inventory is a great software to make inventories. The NG Server is
formed by: communication server, deployment server, and
administration console.
The
computers that will be inventoried must run an agent (installed on
each computer), to connect to the OCS NG Server. This
to have a complete inventory system on a single system.
