Thanks for the advice. I have asked management for someone to assist me in
this from hardware and the other sister agencies we support. Hopefully it will
make it easier.
Francois...please send me the script that you so graciously offered.
Thanks again..

Catalina,
That is a good question which takes
everyone back to "Asset Mgmt".
Usually someone in engineering has a list of
devices they think they have
installed. You have NetView which
you can do an object dump into a list.
You will need to write a script to get
the machines you care about into a
list. Then you
have to reconcile the two lists. Usually both
things
happen, there are objects on NetView that engineering does not
know about
and they have things on their list that NetView does not
know.
If you are given this task, hopefully you can convince engineering
to also
identify a person and the two of you can reconcile the
lists. I don't
know your company size, but for even the smallest
company, this is not
easy. Like anything else, the first
80% will be easy, the last 5% will
be tough.
Also, does your company
have a change control process? Are you part of
that
process? You MUST be if you are going to stay current with
hardware
being put into the field. Without this, why reconcile in the
first place.
Kind regards,
Stephen
