Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit - Part 1

I find this tool very useful with in the Deployment arena, it has the capability provide inventory and assessment without requiring an agent software on any computer in your network thus simplifying your planning process for migrating your laptops, desktops, and servers to Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007  

Can be downloaded from Windows AIK.

MAP requires at MS SQL Server Express Edition as well

In this case I've already downloaded SQL Server Express Edition so I just need to browse through my directory

Once finished, launched MAP

Will post Part 2 when I'm done setting up my network environment.
