What is the MAP toolkit?
MAP is an agent-less network-wide IT asset inventory and planning tool (formerly known as the Windows Vista Hardware Assessment tool).
Why is it so popular?
- MAP provides multi-product coverage (Windows Vista, 2007 Microsoft Office, Windows Server 2008, SQL Server, Hyper-V, App-V (SoftGrid), SCVMM)
- It’s Agent-less!
- MAP generates comprehensive proposals/reports.
- It’s FREE!
