Alloy Discovery

Alloy Discovery is a handy software tool that helps you check out Windows, Linux, and Mac OS machines using different audit methods. It has some cool features that are perfect for those who know their way around PCs.

Getting Started with Alloy Discovery

Setting up Alloy Discovery can take some time because it’s a big package. The interface looks professional and includes panels to explore audit groups and computer details. It’s designed to help you dig into the info you need.

Easy Configuration Process

When you first start it up, there's a quick wizard that helps you set up network discovery. You can search within a Windows domain or a specific IP range, and even use your current logged-in user or admin credentials for access.

Audit Capabilities

Once you've set your parameters, Alloy Discovery can create groups based on what you've selected. Right after that, it jumps into auditing the machines it found. You’ll see details like how many tasks started, completed, failed, and get a list of computers with their statuses and timings.

Diving Deeper into the Details

After the scan is finished, Alloy Discovery gives you a detailed list of identified machines. This includes their names, models, CPU types and speeds, memory sizes, hard disk capacity, operating systems, and IP addresses.

Additional Features

The tool also collects data on installed software and devices like shared folders and printers. Plus, there’s a handy search function to look up files and check out file stats. If you need to analyze things further, you can export this information to a file.

User-Friendly Auditing Options

You can even audit your own computer by its name or IP address! There are options to change audit settings and default credentials too. If you're on the go, you can create a portable version for USB drives or load audit files from media devices—pretty neat!
