Hi there
I work at a company in a department that manages several domains across several networks. We have access to all and I have to create an app that lists all servers in those networks and gathers some basic info on then.
I have two problems.
1st
I have a list of IPs. I have to translate them to hostnames, but not all servers are Windows based. We also have several Unix servers.
2nd
I have to ping all servers, check if they are alive. If not, check if DNS entries exist. For those that respond to ping, I have to gather some basic info, like MAC Address, Operating System, etc. Once again, some servers are using Unix and all of them are scattered across two domains.
I know I can use WMI for Windows servers, but I have to find out which domain in order to pass the appropriate credentials.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Ricardo Vercesi
