There is a license scanner, but I don't think it works across subnets.

There are a few solutions to this if these are Windows computers...

Getting a list of computers is very easy if you are running Active
Directory.  Just query the AD LDAP server for Computer objects.

1. Use MS SMS (Systems Management Server) to find services running on
the workstations.
2. Write a VBScript that is run in the login script for each
workstation.  Have the VBScript locate either the service or the CF
directory, then send an email or log it.
3. Give your CF service account enough permissions to connect to each
workstation.  Then, have it loop over the results of the Active
Directory LDAP query and test for the CF directory.

I'm sure there are other, better solutions, but this is all I can think
of on a Friday.

Subject: Finding ColdFusion servers

I have been tasked to bring some order to the chaos.

Our organization pays for six ColdFusion licenses each year, but nobody
has a definitive list of what machines have what ColdFusion installed on
them.  I have a vague memory that there is|was a tool that could survey
a network and report on what it finds running ColdFusion.  Am I
imagining this or is there something out there that will save us (me)
from looking at the directories of dozens of servers and hundreds of
workstations to see what may or may not be properly or improperly
installed?
