Computers can be placed in multiple collections depending on the needs of your organization. Collections can be Dynamic, Static, or based off your Active Directory hierarchy. With the ability to nest collections, some pretty powerful filters can be configured. For example, one could create a dynamic collection for an Organizational Unit containing all of your servers. Sub-collections of the server collection could dynamically divide the servers based on the operating system.
If a machine running Windows Server 2003 was upgraded to Windows Server 2008, the dynamic collection would automatically move it to the Windows Server 2008 collection. By planning out the collection hierarchy, a Windows administrator could potentially automate machine organization in PDQ Inventory and provide a quick way to view any common report!

Useful basic reports include hardware/software inventory, displays, installed updates, and shared folders.

Overall, PDQ Inventory provides a very solid resource inventory platform for small to medium organizations to build on.

On our Server 2012 R2 file server. Windows search service will occasionally 'freeze' up; if I go to check on indexing status it will say 'please wait' until I restart service.
