This is a how to video on gathering inventory using a stand-alone package. A stand-alone inventory package is an executable file that you create from the Symantec Management Console. You run the package on target computers and gather the inventory data of that computer. This method lets you gather inventory on the unmanaged target computers (i.e. Computers that are not managed through the Symantec Management Agent [SMA]). If you use stand-alone packages, you must be able to report the inventory data back to the Notification Server computer. You can use different options of reporting data depending on the configuration of your network. You can create multiple packages with different options based on your needs. To run a stand-alone package and gather the inventory correctly, you must logged in as a local administrator.

Note: This video assumes that the client machine for which you are gathering inventory for is connected to and able to communicate to Notification Server over the network.
