I need to quickly inventory the applications installed on all workstations across my domain. How can I do this easily with the least effort possible? Equipment is all Windows XP or better.

Yes Spiceworks can do that. It uses WMI to get the data, so you could probably look for a script to get it wihout installing the whole monitoring program.

Here are a couple of examples of scripts that will do what you want. They are a little too big to list the whole script here. http://www.interclasse.com/scripts/SoftwareMeteringCLS.php http://www.billsway.com/vbspage/ On the second link, scroll down or search for "List Installed Programs". Also note that both of these, and Spiceworks, or Kaseya (which I use) and most others are only showing you software that is listed in the registry, and has been installed with Microsoft's Windows Installer (or other commercial installers like InstallShield or InstallAware).
