361101

You probably noticed the reminder by your copy of Network Inventory Advisor about the new version available. That is generally a bugfix release, you can check the what’s new section of the user guide for details or this forum post. We improved the algorithms that resolve your hard drives’ names, and added a small notification panel that reminds you of the number of nodes you can still add in your current license.

In the past we sent so many demo extension codes to our potential clients, that finally we are glad to announce that everyone demoing Network Inventory Advisor now has the option to extend the free trial if there’s a need.

Thanks for your support.

P.S. We also invested our efforts into making the purchasing process smoother and more business-friendly. Hope you like the improvements. Let us know

“Track your office plants!”… What? Office plants?

No surprise that IT-managers have to keep absolutely all IT-assets inventoried. However, not all of them can be automatically scanned, since not all of them are connected to network, or run standard software. Today we are releasing the update which lets you add any assets you want to the network tree, and even include them in your reports! Meet version 3.6.1069!

Add any IT assets to your inventory

Since Network Inventory Advisor 3.6.1069, manually added assets just like other nodes in your network can be managed by adding custom data fields, which can later be used in reports.

Among other improvements, we are proud to highlight the following ones:

  • new fields in Hardware -> Memory report: Available memory slots and Used memory slots
  • agent utility now collects Disk Serial Number in a custom way to prevent WMI errors
  • correct handling of multi-core CPUs
  • antivirus and security software detection in 64-bit systems
  • Windows Product Key collection in 64-bit systems
  • network assets sorting is not case-sensitive
  • improved automated inventory data import which lead to duplicate entries in network tree
  • occasional erroneous filling of all the fields in the tabular report with the active user’s name
  • unexpected appearing of previously deleted nodes on application restart
  • localhost scanning in case of node’s missing IP-address
  • more fixes in tabular reports in relation to custom fields inclusion
  • etc…
  • Please, feel free to download the updated version any time.

    Network Inventory Advisor was updated to version 3.6.1000 today. It’s mostly a bug-fix plus several minor enhancements. The upgrade process is very simple and smooth, as always: download -> install. Thank you for your “bigger” features requests which we are working on now.

    Network Inventory Advisor… version 3.6

    Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

    Many of you may have noticed that we omitted the minor upgrade to version 3.5.967 at our blog. Still if you look in the version history of the user guide, you will find the details of that release dated July 8. I won’t dig into the details of both releases actually, as I just wanted to highlight the real changes.

    In 16 months since the original release of Network Inventory Advisor 3.0 we are presenting the new major update. Here’s what you will find under the hood:

    Multiple nodes manipulations

    Multiple nodes manipulations

    #1. Batch editing and management of your nodes: select 2 or more nodes, or groups in the network tree and change their details with one click, re-group multiple nodes, scan selected, assign and edit custom fields easily.

    Detect hardware changes and get notified

    Detect hardware changes and get notified

    #2. Automatic hardware changes tracking and reporting for Windows and Mac OS nodes: there’s a new report added called Hardware Changes, as well as a new alert type which will notify you when hardware is changed, removed or added on every node.

    #3. More improvements in hardware inventory: now you can easily detect and decode monitors Plug’n'Play IDs and manufacturer into readable format.

    Build reports on how much RAM your computers have

    Build reports on how much RAM your computers have

    #4. Network summary has been enhanced: “All network hardware” report now also shows nodes grouped by RAM size

    You will also find more than 100 new (less important) fixes and improvements in the new version. It can be downloaded here. Please, comment if you want to share your thoughts or ideas, or send us an e-mail. We are working on new ideas and new features now. Please, stay tuned.
