Q: Remote Query of OS X for installed Applications

Hi Everyone;

 

This might be in the wrong part of the discussions however it seems like a good place to start.

 

In our enterprise we have a mixed eco system of Mac's and Windows, which is almost 50/50 at this point.

 

I've recently been brought on the Network Admin team, and one of the things i would like to do is be able to query remotely which apps are the macs, since it is a reasonably liberal environment ( like everyone is an admin on thier computer but that's another story).

 

On a Mac how is this achieved, I guess what I would like to do is be able to query the Applications folder on each machine and see the output.

 

I have access to Windows and Mac tools

 

All the Mac's are running OS X 10.10 or 10.11 and are not bound to Active Directory.

 

If this belongs somewhere else, let me know and i'll move it if i can.

 

Thanks

iMac
