Abstract: A system and method of inventorying and managing users and their computer workstations in large organizations through automation. Data is organized in two distinctive ways into two computer database directories to allow for compatibility with other key organization databases and different approaches of locating and accounting for users and their computer objects. One directory that is based on organizational structure can be synchronized with the Human Resources (HR) database to determine people movement or job changes. The other directory that is based on physical location of computer workstations can be synchronized with network subnet databases to determine any Internet Protocol address changes. Automatic updating after synchronization in either directory keeps the data as current and accurate as possible. Organizational policy based on an organization's requirements can be applied and enforced when incorporated into the synchronization process. Exception handling allows for maximum flexibility.
