well, probably a couple ways to attack this... GFI *used* to have a free version of LANNETSCAN that would scan an IP, range, etc, and return information including OS and IP, maybe available via the archive of 'old software' on the web PSinfo can give more detail on the OS including service pack and hotfixes, easily scripted with the FOR command to use a text file of machine names to first ping (to get IP) and then PSINFO to get OS, Service Pack, Hotfixes, Drive info, software installed, etc... and psinfo can export as CSV This should get you started
_____ From: Klint Price - ArizonaITPro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2008 1:15 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: looking for a freeware utility to.... With my new job I inherited a poorly documented data center. Over the past month or so as I have had time, I have done a physical inventory and have located an additional 20 servers and 60 VMs that were previously undocumented. I have a list of close to 200 servers now, location, and computer name. What I am missing is the ip address and installed operating system. What I am looking for is a free-ware utility (or script) that will read from a list of computer names in a txt document, and spit out a tabulated file with server name, ip address (or error for that line if it is not reachable), server os and service pack.
