That's about it for my users! :-) Someone reminded me of an older version of a nice shareware/freeware util called LanNetScan from GFI. I think I may have an install archive around here somewhere... It's really nice... For once, the older version is MUCH nicer than the newer version. :-)

Ask them to run "ipconfig" and tell you the IP address. When the one they report matches what you're looking for, you're done. Not very high-tech, labor-intensive, and maybe not possible in your environment, but it would work. Picture this: Ring...ring John: "Hi, this is John in IT. I need you to do something for me." User: "uh, ok, uh, what do you want me to do" John: "first, get a DOS prompt" User: "What's a DOS prompt?" John: "hmm, ok, click your start button." User: "What's a start button" John: "<sigh>never mind..." -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 2:08 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: locating one machine Hmm... good point. If eEye's scanner finds it and says it's "vulnerable" that means it must be at least a Win2k box. Any suggestions on how to find that machine? -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:mailvor...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 12:58 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: locating one machine On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 12:53 PM, Ben Scott <mailvor...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Well, I have a sneaking suspicion it's a Windows 98 machine... > > Ah, that's tough. Win 98 has almost nothing for remote management. Wait a minute. All the Conficker detectors I know of (which, admittedly, isn't much) look for an unpatched RPC service, or for an RPC service which has the signature of the Conficker-provided patch. Win 9X doesn't *have* an RPC service, does it? -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ No virus found in this incoming message.
