Greetings,
I’ve visited with many of you over the past few years, and at some point, we always end up discussing numbers. How many Macs do you have? How many Windows PCs? How many iPads, Chromebooks, etc? How many rogue APs?
And if you’re in Higher Ed, you get the fun bonus categories: How many Wii/Xbox/PlayStation units? How many kids in the dorms have wifi-enabled printers?
When I ask about your numbers, and how you get them, the answer is never easy. It usually combines more than one solution; “Well, we have cacti for all things wired, but we use our Cisco controllers to get us the wireless client info. We then take that and give it to Larry, who cooks us up a report in FileMaker or Excel.” Okay, you’re inventory person might not be Larry, but you get the idea.
My question: What tools/solutions do you use to get the numbers representing what’s on your network?
Your question: Why doesn’t Apple publicly post it’s hardware addresses so that we can more easily search for them?
My response: I don’t know. But still, I’d like to know what tools you use.
Many thanks!
Corey
