  • 2.11.0.0

OCS Inventory NG Agent 2.11.0.0 is a lightweight Windows service that belongs to the Network Inventory category and acts as the local data collector for the OCS Inventory NG open-source asset-management system. Once installed on any Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 or 11 endpoint, the agent automatically interrogates the operating system, hardware subsystems and installed software at boot-up and at administrator-defined intervals, then compresses and encrypts the resulting XML record and transmits it to the central OCS Inventory NG server through HTTP(S). Typical use cases include enterprise-wide audits that need an up-to-date hardware census, license-compliance checks that compare installed applications against purchased entitlements, automated CMDB population for ITIL processes, and preparatory discovery before operating-system migration or software-update campaigns. Because the agent runs as a background service with SYSTEM privileges, it can report BIOS versions, memory configurations, peripheral serial numbers, disk health metrics and even custom registry keys without requiring user interaction, making it suitable for fully unattended inventories on large fleets of desktops, laptops and servers. Version 2.11.0.0 represents the current stable release and is the only Windows edition maintained by the OCS Inventory NG Team; it incorporates improved WMI queries, broader antivirus recognition and stricter TLS cipher negotiation compared with earlier branches. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
