Desktop Sampler

The Desktop Sampler allows the IT administrator to collect information from a desktop. The standalone software can be installed and launched on a desktop. It runs unobtrusively and it collects the following information:

User Context

• User name, logon domain, logon server
• Domain group membership
• Organizational Unit of user
• Computer name, computer domain
• Organizational Unit of computer
• Operating System
• Device Capabilities (CPU/Memory)
• Network IP address

Composition

• Applications exposed in Start Menu
• Drive and Port Mappings
• Network Printers
• Drive Substitutes
• Data Sources

The collected information is stored as a file on a designated file share on the network. One file is created per unique user/computer combination. The IT administrator can configure the Desktop Sampler to uninstall itself after a number of days.
