Amazing App With System Inventory Lite

I found an amazing little application today as I was working on a client PC. I was looking for something like Belarc Advisor, that Milo just reviewed and I regularly use on PC’s. The problem was I wanted something that didn’t need an installation, but that could just run off of a thumb drive hopefully. I FOUND IT!
As you can see from the image above, you just click the type of information you want inventoried and click “Go”. The great part is that it builds the report into Excel so you can easily work with the data in a format you’re probably familiar with already for data collection.
The application is a single HTML Application (.hta) file that’s only 99KB in size. It runs from a USB drive and works on machines you don’t even have to have admin access rights too. Which was another requirement I had in my search.
System Inventory Lite worked absolutely perfectly for my needs. Don’t get dismayed by the “Lite” portion of the name either. It merely refers to the fact that you can get as much or as little information as you want in your system inventory.
As you can also see, if you have a network of machines and you can access the machines, you can tell the application to grab an inventory off of those networked machines as well.
What an amazing little application in a 99KB package. I couldn’t have asked for much more than this.
