Network Discovery & Asset Management Tools

["Michael Chilcott" <michael_chilcott () emoryhealthcare org>]

Hello Group,
   I was wondering what tools are being used to discover new devices (PC's, printers, & tablets) as they are being 
plugged into the network. 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? 

Thanks,
Mike
