How Do These Settings Affect Your Network?

EMCO Network Inventory is a network application that relies on Microsoft network infrastructure to interact with remote PCs. The application uses a list of standard Windows services that should be started on remote PCs and corresponding ports that should be opened in the firewall. The program uses standard networking services and Windows security, so you can rely on Windows system protection when using the program.
