Ok, I have to state the obvious. If you are looking to purchase a discovery product, wouldn't it make
sense to buy the one that goes with your CMDB out of the box, BMC Discovery?

Hi Gordon,
John is quite right that those integration kits are available for
download, free. I don't think they are supported but speak under
correction.
We looked at the Lan2CMDB as we have LanDesk as our discovery tool. The
download basically gives you everything which is great but, there is an
assumption that one has the LanDesk asset management module too. The
integration reads from the tables generated by this module. I think that
the asset management module brings the vast data base together. For us
it got a bit tricky to explain to the business why we needed to purchase
the asset management module on LanDesk only to use it for the
integration. Otherwise it was not required and we are wanting to do the
asset management from the BMC CMDB.
I am only giving you a heads up so that you can make sure that you look
into any downloads in depth and the requirements before you thunder on
and find that it won't work for you.
Good luck.
Kind Regards,
Basil Webster

network to integrate one of these discovery tools below with CMDB 2.1:

Subject: Discovery Tools
Hello,
What types of Discovery Tools are available to discover attributes on
Windows, UNIX and Linux client and server platforms?
I would like to fully populate a 2.1 CMDB with hardware, software,
people, processes and peripherals.
Also, is there any feel for cost per client or agent or however they
price such tools? Are there any good white papers on this?
