An agentless tool that will find computers on a network and perform a detailed inventory of the computers using WMI
The Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit is an agentless tool that will find computers on a network and perform a detailed inventory of the computers using Windows Management Instrumentation
(WMI), the Remote Registry Service, or the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Using the inventory data, MAP Toolkit will assess and report whether computers can run Windows Vista, Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft Application Virtualization (SoftGrid), and Windows Server 2008. This includes assessment of device driver availability and recommendations for hardware upgrades that may be required.
MAP Toolkit also includes new features for gathering performance metrics from computers you are considering for consolidation using Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2. Using the performance metrics and a model virtual server host computer, you can generate reports that recommend placement of the physical servers in a virtual server environment.
This tool incorporates the assessment features provided by the Windows Vista Hardware Assessment Solution Accelerator, including localization of the Windows Vista assessment reports in French, German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
