i have the following list (originally from the resnet-l list) stashed 
away for future ref... eventually i expect we'll have to look seriously 
at an agent because nessus has limited utility in an environment with 
alot of personal firewalls.


"Check out http://www.utoronto.ca/security/UTORprotect/ESP/ It is
based on the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer Command Line
Interface and can check for missing patches. "

"We sue the CNI Cat (Client Assessment Tool) tool. It comes as both an
ActiveX client that can be run through the web and as a standalone exe.
It is a commercial product.

It checks for AV, Windows Updates, and sets Windows updates to
automatic. It also does a number of other things. We are very pleased
with it.

"Probably the best freebie:

<http://www.belarc.com/Programs/advisor.exe>

This one is web-based:

<http://www.pedestalsoftware.com/products/se/downloads/webscan/>

Then we can start looking at the better ones:

<http://software.gfi.com/lannetscan.exe>

<http://www.eeye.com/html/temp/DLdotcom/Retina511Demo.exe>

<http://www.lavalys.hu/downloads/everestpro151.zip>

GFI and eEye are really security scanners but they do have some nice system
audit features. EVEREST Professional is very good but it will only last for
a month or so."
