I take it that you already have the executable you mention - something like Visual Audit Pro, or suchlike, I guess? - so you just need to determine the date, and call the executable. Something like this might suit you:-

code:
If @MONTHNO = 7 ;Or whatever date-related criteria you choose
	Goto Skip
Else
	Shell "%COMPSPEC% /c c:\vap.exe" ;Or whatever you need to run
Endif

:Skip
;Carry on the rest of the script here...
There are a couple of good UDFs that will write log files as you need - search under WriteLog in the UDF forum.

If you would prefer the audit/inventory to be done by Kix itself then you shuld begin by searching the board for "inventory" or "audit" - look for "wmi" as well as this is an invaluable tool in software and hardware inventory. There are dozens of examples on the board that should help to get you started.
