Maybe you should have done some analysis before taking on this
project to determine whether the project was actually feasible. It
would save you a lot of grief in the long run.
I've been seeing this a *lot* lately, in a lot of different forums.
Lots of people seem to have stopped doing any investigation before
starting projects. Why is that?
I tried appletalk, which is supported by windows, and i get the information
about the macintosh machines are currently up and are registered on a
perticular zone. Problem is i am not bale to distinguish the OS running on
those machines.
If you can also run software on the Macs on your network, you can
just have that software report the operating system version.
You *might* be able to find out this information via SNMP, but I'm
not sure if it's supported (either the information you seek or SNMP
itself) on various different versions of the Mac operating system.
