These work well together. This will bust your budget a bit but it is good stuff. Footprints http://www.unipress.com/products.html and Centennial Discovery http://www.centennial-software.com/ FP runs on Window$ or Linux and is perl based. Discovery is sweet in that it will do what it's name implies. It will find hardware on your network (rogue AP's are a problem where I work). Check them out...:)
We have deployed this to all our clients in our Novell network. IF they plug a USB device in and it does nto show up, they double click this program and it fixes all conflicts: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/16845.ht ml
I administer a network of over 8000 computers, half of which are Apple computers. We use a program from http://www.absolute.com/ called Computrace (Win/Mac) and it writes a piece to the BIOS that calls home REGARDLESS of OS reinstall. If removed, it will reinstall the software to call back home. Can it be stopped? Yes, but only with packet captures and other assorted goodies. Works really slick and it has been tested.
What about http://www.emusic.com/? I use them to buy from alot of independent artists. Just a thought...
