Yes so many times to the laptop idea. You would still need the FOG Server software installed to make the client give you workstation information. And the client can give you info related to the Inventory function on its own, but from my understanding even with the new client you have to have the workstation registered into FOG for the client to be able to report on anything. If you were able to leave a little desktop somewhere on site you could also just use that as a server, and talk to the server whenever you need information.
