The SharePoint Asset Inventory Tool helps you discover unmanaged SharePoint sites in your network and inventory site content on an ongoing basis for reporting.
———————-
The wide availability of Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0 and the explosive popularity of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 in enterprise environments, combined with the widespread use of online collaboration tools have resulted in a proliferation of SharePoint technologies that sometimes escape the notice of IT.
SharePoint servers that are not managed by IT often host business-critical Web sites, applications, documents, and processes. It is vital to the health of the organization that these servers are brought under corporate IT management and oversight.
The SharePoint Asset Inventory Tool allows IT professionals to inventory all of the computers in the network and identify servers that have SharePoint installed on them. The information gathered by the tool is used to generate reports that give IT the information it needs to bring the servers are under its control. This allows the resources of the ever-changing SharePoint environment to be optimized and adjusted as needed.
