1. The users are trespassers! :)
  2. There is a marked difference between the level of my users ( mainly retired military brass ), and a monk like yourself. But either way ... you wouldn't particularly have access rights to the Registry or the Services tools to remove the service. You do however bring up a good point: While this script is small, and takes up little memory since it basically just rips through the registry and some disk stats for the inventory, if it were something else it would be a good bit more memory-hoggish. I would love to hear some ways to limit or diminish the amount of memory used.
  3. Checking the DHCP logs is a good idea. However, the computers not active would not be listed. I could do a union of DHCP statistics, but computers get changed out, etc, etc, and the list doesn't stay constant. I feel this will be my strongest entanglement
