Hey guys,
I have a 2012R2 domain. All of our server subnets use static IP addresses that are not specified in DHCP. We keep spreadsheets and want to replace that with something that can scan the subnets we specify and do ping sweeps(SNMP/WMI) to help detect and name devices. I care more about the ability to scan and the quality of those scans, that I do about all the other features of IPAM. I know the Microsoft solution will allow static addresses to be entered manually, or imported from a csv file. I am probably going to spin up a 2012 R2 IPAM test server and compare it against the Solarwinds IPAM product, but does anyone know if the Microsoft solution will also scan static subnets specified to help determine which IP addresses are in use? Possibly even query and figure out the servername(if DNS record exists, or if they have credentials to make a SNMP or WMI connection?
Thanks,
Dave
