Network Inventory Software?

Need a network inventory software.


Need to be able to see all models and serial numbers of workgroup computers, network printers, routers/switches.


I tried Spiceworks, it didn't find network components and it gives wrong serial numbers for printers.





Thanks

Network Inventory Software?
There really is no good "all-in-one" node inventory software package, unfortunately. However, there are several that do work well stand alone, and even better in concert with each other.





For example:





If by chance your orginization uses primarily HP printers, HP WebJetAdmin is a great package that allows you to collect very detailed information about HP printers on your network.





If your orginization uses Cisco routers and switches, CiscoWorks is a very good collection, control and inventory package.





If you leverage Microsoft desktops and servers (depending on OS level) you could leverage MS SMS for inventory control.





Intel LanDesk is also a very powerful DMI (desktop management interface) that isn't closely associated with MS - but isn't without licensing costs.





There are many packages that offer all-in-one, but due to the cost of either the licensing or the effort to configure each and every node (configuring SNMP, hunting down the MIBs and TRAPS) they might not be in your best interest.





You might even want to look to open-source to see if there are packages that do what you need.





Hope this helps!
