=Overview=

AuditWizard is a complete asset management solution that enables information to be gathered on your Company's PC and Server infrastructure to provide an ongoing auditing and asset-management facility.

This user guide lists '''[[User Guide for AuditWizard#Technical Documents|Technical Documents]]''', '''[[User Guide for AuditWizard#FAQs|FAQs]]''' and '''[[User Guide for AuditWizard#Troubleshooting|troubleshooting]]''' articles ahead of the '''[[User Guide for AuditWizard#Table of Contents|main user guide articles]]'''.
  
−
All hardware and software details are captured together with any additional data requirements such as non-PC assets, peripherals etc. and stored in a central Microsoft SQL Server Database. Any subsequent hardware and software changes are identified and reported together with an historical audit trail of all changes that have been detected for each asset. The audit can be network deployed so assets can be audited automatically over the network, or audited manually in order to collect additional asset/user information. It can also be executed on standalone machines.

AuditWizard also includes a network discovery function that can automatically discover your network infrastructure using a variety of methodologies to ensure the best possible network coverage. Combined with the capability to perform a remote audit using either a remotely deployable Windows Service, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or the Windows Management Interface (WMI), AuditWizard truly provides a solution for all eventualities.
