Zusammenfassung:	A computer system performs software discovery on a shared resource in a network. A logical group is generated for the shared resource, wherein the logical group includes a plurality of devices accessing the shared resource. A designated device is selected from the plurality of devices for performing a software discovery operation on the shared resource, wherein the selection is based on one or more performance factors. Results of the software discovery operation on the shared resource are received from the designated device. The results of the software discovery operation are distributed by the designated device to the plurality of devices. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for performing software discovery on a shared resource in a network in substantially the same manner described above.
