Windows – Need to remotely determine what version of Microsoft Office is installed

command-line-interfacemicrosoft-officenetworkingwindows

I need to find a way to determine what version, if any, of Microsoft Office is installed on every computer on our company network. The best idea I've had was just running a script that searches for the install directory on all machines that are currently connected to the network. I don't think this method is accurate enough and there is probably a better way.

Any ideas?

You can try Microsoft's free Software Inventory Analyzer

Microsoft also maintains a list of third-party vendors that create software asset management and auditing applications.

One notable vendor missing from Microsoft's list is Novell's ZENWorks
