Guys,
We have been trying to come up with a complete inventory of all our machines, Win 95, NT, 2000.
Because some of the win95 machines do not logon (and hence do not need a logon script) and some of the other machines remain logged on for weeks (or months) we want a way to poll our network (about 10 subnets) and get info about each machine.
Currently we use NBTSTAT to get info about each machine, and then use PSINFO and PSEXEC to get more detail - it gives us a very good picture of whats out there.Anyway - my question is, can anyone think of a good way of polling the subnets, we are currently NBTSTATing each possible IP address in each of our legal subnets, but this can take many hours in a sparsely populated subnet.
I saw the post on dhcpcmd, and that sparked my interest - but it still doesnt give me the hard coded addresses (we have a handful of them out there).
I hope this makes sense - any ideas ?
Thanks in advance
Mark
