Chris, We've been looking into several network management packages. The answers all seem to be the same. Network management software can find devices via a number of methods but all need the hardware vendor's specific management software to adequately work with each company's devices. In the case of Cisco that would of course be Cisco Works. I don't know yet whether MS's SMS software interfaces with CiscoWorks or not but it would certainly be able to manage it via Active Directory. There are several other companies that have similar software that would integrate with Active Directory as well.
Hope that helps some, David Armstrong ""Mann, Chris"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Can Cisco routers and switches be managed at all from with Microsoft > Active Directory, or some Active Directory snap-in?
