Mike,I suggest using SMS 2.0 the network and asset management functions of it works great. It is very easy to configure, even for a novice administrator. I have used this software on many occasions to do hardware inventory and desktop/client admin stuff. I have never used the newer version of SMS but I definitely know that SMS 2.0 works.
Hope this helps, John arif.jatmoko () sea ccamatil com wrote:
Hi, Seems you need OS guessing tool which can detect OS / device type running on remote machines. If so, there are lot of tools available to do this wheter GUI or text based. You can try www.gfi.com a M$ Windows GUI based tool, it's nice tool. Or try to google search using keyword "OS guessing".

Having a class "B" network we have different routers, and switches through-out. What is the best way to find and discovery devices plugging in to the network? Going hand-in-hand with that is a question of Asset management tools. We have multiple O/S's in the network, so it must be able to determine what is what, and have it entered automatically/manually into the app or db. Now what would be really Great is a tool that can take the info from the "Network Discovery Tool" and add it to the Asset Management tool". What applications work/not work and what experiences does everyone have?
