    You can generate the Discovery Report from the command line by calling the SQL Server setup.exe. So if 2014 was on the C:\ it would be something like:
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Setup Bootstrap\SQLServer2014\Setup.exe" /Action=RunDiscovery /q
    The reports get generated to the most recent setup folder in the Setup Bootstrap\Log\ path for SQL Server. On 2014, it would be along the lines of: 
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Setup Bootstrap\Log\\<Folder name with the newest timestamp>\SqlDiscoveryReport.htm
    So it seems like it would be possible to do something to automate that.
