@george1421 Thanks for the suggestions!

@Wayne-Workman Hi Wayne, that’s interesting. I was able to run wmic on my PC but how do I create a snapin to run that command on a network of computers, wanting the output file to go on a share like our server? In FOG, which we use for imaging, they have this Snapin Management functionality but I don’t know how it works. -

I’ve noticed with the current FOG version we have installed (1.1.2), that the Inventory only tracks PC hardware components, not a list of what software is on a computer (it appears there is something that can list printers if you want) so I’m wondering if FOG has a 1) software inventory option, 2) if not, Windows-based or free options to inventory software on dozens of computers in a business, 3) on the topic of software, what would you recommend via FOG or some other free solution for software license management? I’m aware of Windows 7’s VAMT (Volume Activation Management Tool) but are there others that can stream Windows 7, 10 and even Mac’s?

@Scott-Adams Thanks, Scott. Checking it out…

Topic title is pretty self-explanatory but have you ever had a user with a machine that was reimaged and they had files NOT transferred external to be copied over after the reimage that they needed to have recovered (in this case on their Desktop)? Is FOG able to go back to what was on the hard drive before the reimage and retrieve such data or not?
