Description
The data that is gathered when the Altiris Agent is
installed on the managed client computer. This
inventory is a core function of the Symantec
Management Platform and does not require Inventory
Solution. Basic inventory gathers information about
the computer that the Altiris Agent is installed on. For
example, its name, domain, installed operating system,
MAC and IP address, primary user account, and so on.
This information is updated on a regular basis as long
as the Altiris Agent is installed on the computer.
The expanded data that can be gathered using
Inventory Solution.

following characteristics of a client computer:
Hardware and operating system: The hardware
components of the client computer. For example,
the processor, memory devices, disk controllers,

computer. For example, the version of the operating
