hi all,
i run a small consultancy (5 consultants) who routinly see new networks and new clients every day.
I would like a tool that can be run from a laptop that discovers all nodes on the network, possibly (thru wmi) id’s os, ver, major software and hardware of attached nodes,
also would like ti to work across subnets, discover managed and unmanaged switches, routers and network hardware.
lastly i would like all this to dump into sql db or xml file that could b imported.
oh….and i would like this for under $500 and with the ability to document all of my clients independantly.
sounds like a pipe dream
but if anyone knows a good tool or set of tools i would greatly appreciate it.
we do offer documentation of systems but the hodge podge of tools and the complexity of network means that something usually gets missed.
thanks
jason
