sirpadk -> Documenting the network (Jan. 20, '06, 4:48:53 AM)

Hallo guys,

Well I do not know if it's the place to ask this question, due to the fact that in my company we use Win server only. but the question is not about an OS, rather about the network itself.

What I'm looking for, and I allready tried to google it but no help there at the moment, is a tol that can automaticly monitor the structure of the network (Servers, clients, switches, SAN, NAS, clusters setup, routers, firewall etc.) and the way they are connected to each other.

the tool shall be able to create an interactive application, where the administrator can on demand retrive information on the HW and SW inside each station in the domain, the services that run on it etc.

The main goal is to have a documentation of the entire network, without the need to update the document up on each and every change in the network (e.g. upgrading Memory, or changing to a bigger harddisk capccity, or installing a service pack)

Am I asking for too much? is there a tool that might supply those needs?
10x alot for the your attention and future help.

Best Regards,
Rafi Asraf.

Rafi,
Just so that I am clear, are you looking for a System Managment tools that runs within SFU or a Windows Desktop?

I may have a solution for you, we will ned to put an user interface together that will allow you access any system on the network and monitor the H/W and S/W activity. We need to understand what OS/Platform will this UI will run on.

Hallo Hasmukh,
thanks for your reply.

The enviorment is Win 2003 only. with 2 Domains connected by 2 way trust.
All the stations are Win Server or Win XP.

I know I'm in a Unix forum, so If there anyone who believe I'm waisting your time, I'll try somewhere else.

Best Regards,
Rafi Asraf.
