Re: Inventory Tools

["Erik Luken" <eluken () pentarch org>]

I'm no longer with that particular company, and I am trying to recall if I 
did try to expand it out onto the WAN or not. I want to say no, since I was 
only responsible for the hardware in the one particular office. If I recall, 
when it did the scan, it only scanned our network, and not anything outside 
the LAN.
