InventoryManager

Inventory Manager provides the ability to custom tailor SCCM inventory to suit the needs of your company and remove the complexities of editing configuration and reporting MOF files by means of an intuitive and easy to use graphical user interface (GUI).

Replaces the manual, text based process with a front end editor that provides a GUI to allow the user to easily add, edit and remove inventory items from SCCM. Provides a rule based management solution with intuitive easy to use wizards that take all the guess work out of inventory configuration and speeds the process of managing asset inventory in SCCM to a few minutes rather than several hours or possibly days.

Integrated Console GUI. See your inventory status and configuration with the built in integrated MMC snap-in.

Inventory Registry Keys. Extend asset data from registry key inventory throughout SCCM/SMS

Inventory WMI Classes. Extend asset data from WMI Classes throughout SCCM/SMS

Import Custom Rules. The ability to import predefined custom inventory rules (MOF), makes INVMAN limitless in its ability to extend asset inventory reporting.

I wish I had this tool years ago!

Improving the value of our inventory capabilities
"Improving the value of our inventory capabilities within Configuration Manager 2007 and driving to provide customers with more asset intelligence has been a key investment area for us in this release, we are pleased to be working with DudeWorks and are excited about the value customers will derive from the integration of their Inventory Manager solution with System Center Configuration Manager to improve the utility of hardware and software inventory from our product."
Eric Berg, director of product management for System Center, Microsoft Corp.

Is now essentially foolproof.
“Inventory Manager is an excellent add-on for System Center Configuration Manager 2007. Modifying the default hardware inventory just to enable existing classes has often been a difficult concept for even seasoned SMS Administrators. Adding custom classes (under SMS 2003) was an even more difficult procedure to understand and implement. Inventory Manager provides a point-and-click interface into Hardware Inventory making enabling (or disabling) existing classes and attributes very simple. I've often assisted people in extending hardware inventory under SMS 2003 with custom registry keys, and now with Inventory Manager for SCCM07, adding "just that one custom registry key" is now essentially foolproof.”
Sherry Kissinger, Microsoft MVP

So much easier.
"Thanks for your help, your product has made the inventory side of my job so much easier! No more MOF scripts! I didn’t realize how much I’ve been relying on INVMAN." Paul Ramsey, SCCM Supervisor, BMI

Puts the windows back into Windows
“I’m looking forward to using Inventory Manager with our SCCM implementation because it puts the windows back into Windows, i.e., we no longer will have to sift through a mile long text file, but get a GUI built into the console to show and let us see what we are inventorying at a glance. No longer will we have to risk typos or miss shutting off parts of inventory we don’t need. Instead we can add new items to be inventoried in just a few minutes, run them for as long as we need to, then easily disable or delete them (DudeWorks has even given us a recycling bin in case we make a mistake!).”
