How do I start auditing the Windows and Linux clients from the Linux OA and OAV2 servers. I want to try out bot the versions. Can anybody point me to this information please?

Can I have a base inventory of hardware and software say today, and track changes to h/w and s/w
in future comparing with this base inventory? Is this feature available? if it is, then in OA or OAV2?

Regards,
Deepak

To audit Windows clients, you need to run the audit script on a Windows machine.
IE - If you want to run a domain audit -

1 - copy both the audit_domain.vbs and audit_windows.vbs to a Windows machine.
2 - Make sure you are logged onto that machine with an account that has Local Admin on all machines you wish to audit (usually a Domain Admin account is the easiest way to do this).
3 - Edit both audit_domain.vbs and audit_windows.vbs so they match your configuration (samples below).
4 - run the domain audit by changing into the directory containg the scripts and "cscript audit_domain.vbs".


Sample config's.
Audit Domain
number_of_audits = 5 <- the number of concurrent audits run by your audit host (the machine you typed "cscript audit_domain.vbs" on).
audit_run_type = "local" <- just keep it to local initially. More network traffic, but the script is more tested.
script_name = "c:\temp\audit_windows.vbs" <- set it to the location of your audit script. Do not use paths such as \\machinename\temp\audit.vbs. A local path is recommended.
local_domain = "LDAP://DC=your,DC=active,DC=directory,DC=name" <- the full path/version, not the shortened version.
operating_system = "Windows" <- leave as Windows to audit all Windows machines. You can filter on Server or some other Operating System name if you like.


Audit Windows
url = "http://Open-AudIT-HOST-SYSTEM/index.php/system" <- really this is the only config needed.

Mark Thank you. How much time it may take to set up audit of 100 Windows machines in a single domain? Is there any automation through any scripts? I see that there is the domain scripts.. which may be automating the configuration of all the desk tops in the domain. I am talking of setting up the audit not audit time..

Regards,
Deepak

If the 100 workstations in the domain are all that is in the domain - maybe 2 minutes to edit the files as detailed above.

If they are 100 specific workstations (versus the complete domain), take a look at the audit_list.vbs script. If you have the list of 100 machines, a quick bit of text find/replace and you can put them into that script.
Stick them into the pc_array = array ( "COMPUTERNAME1", "COMPUTERNAME2") variable.
The other variables should be set, as the previous post above.
