Could but. .

Spiceworks I believe can do that, although it's a bulky tool that isn't well maintained.
By "isn't well maintained", he means it was discontinued a few years ago. Not exactly the same. It's not a maintenance problem, they simply decided that the product didn't have a future and took the company in a different direction.

Not a bad main page. OpenNMS has been around a long time.

PDQ inventory has a free version, it will pull Dell service tags.

@RojoLoco I didn't even know that was a thing.

It works a charm. Some limitations on the free version, but there are plenty of usable features.

Hi,
I know Spiceworks inventory can collect compute name and software installed. Can it also collect the Dell PC model, service tag and domain users for the computer? Or is there other free tools that can assist me collect the data above?
Is free a requirement?
-
I wouldn't use Zabbix for this. Definitely way more overhead then what you'd get out of it.
-
Most of this info can be easily pulled with powershell.

OP hasn't touched Linux in 18 years. Either he's got extremely dependable severs that he hasn't touched in 18 years or he's windows only.

Not using Linux isn't the same as Windows only. The average non-Linux IT person still has to deal with more than Windows. NAS or macOS, for example.

There aren't too many agentless ones out there that I'm aware of, but if your environment can tolerate an agent then you could look at GLPI in combination with FusionInventory. OCS inventory can also be used on it's own or in combination with GLPI, depending on your needs. I can't speak to the ease of installation or running either server on Windows, but it should be possible if running on Linux is entirely out of the picture.
