On January 17th, 2011 I wrote about a script I wrote to gather information on my network (http://www.anthonyreinke.com/?p=384). I ran the scan a few time with a lot of errors. The issues were due to the different domains. It can’t scan all the machines since it runs as the person running. It doesn’t have the ability to try multiple different credentials.
So I started looking for products to get the information. After a lot of trail and errors I found Lansweeper. This software gives you the incite in to your network that is hard to find. It not only scans the machines, but active directories as well. As for the price, it is hard to bet at $299 per year.
Sorry about the lack of the posting. I have switched jobs and the perfect storm hit us. Due to a power outage (well,multiple outages) from Lincoln Electric System (http://les.com) we lost a main switch, the firewall configuration, and dhcp configuration. I haven’t logged in to a Cisco device in many years and never in the depth I have had to in the past month.
Things I am working on:
- Jumping in to Cisco head first
- More with Splunk
- Setting up MPLS between multiple site, and a couple of co-locations
- More in to security
- Guest Posters
