RE: looking for tool to find open ports and domains

Well, okay I guess I should have better explained what we have. We own a class "C" network, and its broken into 
segments. Using Windows O/S these users can setup their PCs to belong to a different domain (ie; workgroup). We would 
like to identify all the different domains, change them to our single domain, and able to push domain, group and local 
policies. More or less - remove the rouge domains.

Thanks,
Mike

Well gosh darn Mike, I can save you time. In your own words you told us:

"I am looking for a way to scan for specific ports on all the PC's in our
network." 

Then you asked:

"I would like to know what domain these PCS belong too"

Therefore "they" must be on YOUR domain, right!? I mean after all you would
not be referring to just "random" scans, right?

As far as "open" ports, nmap and nessus do just that with the proper switch
options. As far as "what domain" a computer is on, a user in "your" network
would sure enough call you with a "I can't get to my folders" because they
did not or could not log on to your "network".

Another great tool for ports and exploits on "your network" are the
"Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer"(www.microsoft.com)and the "BlackCode
Port Scanner" found at www.blackcode.com 

thank you
