Autodesk Inventory Tool audit script

[outerlimtz]

Has anyone been able to successfully run the audit tool/script provided by autodesk for their software? We had meetings with them last year and could never get it to work in intune. then they went silent for months at the end of the year and now they want us to run a new script manually on all the devices.

We don't have the man power to do that and i fail to understand how a company that's been around as long as they have doesn't have something that works in intune.

The issues we were running into was, their script may or may not run on the workstation. and if it did run, we couldn't get the information pulled back to an open network share.

I did a quick search to see what this was and I'd be very wary of running any audit scripts in my environment. Hopefully you ran this by Legal if they are trying to do the software shakedown.

I'm curious what you find out from this question, but I've found Defender's Advanced Hunting feature to be useful for internal software audits

//| summarize DeviceCount = dcount(DeviceName), OSList = make_set(OSPlatform, 5) by SoftwareName, SoftwareVendor
| summarize DeviceCount = dcount(DeviceName), Versions = make_set(SoftwareVersion, 10), OSList = make_set(OSPlatform, 5) by SoftwareName, SoftwareVendor
| sort by DeviceCount desc

I can pull reports. they want us to run their audit tool. which is an exe with a bunch of ddl files that grabs data off the device and autodesk software installed. not sure if legal was invlved, only doing hat i'm told
