Pluggers: I've been playing with SpiceWorks. It has some of what I want....like it's free and it runs on a separate server accessible via a browser. But it has some problems as well, such as connecting to certain machines and it seems difficult to troubleshoot as to why it won't connect.
Anybody out there have a suggestion for an snmp solution? I need to be able to monitor all computers on my network. I'd like to even know things like a) processor heat - e.g. is there a broken fan which is causing a processor to overheat. Is this possible? b) does a machine has virus protection installed and running c) does the machine has the latest windows 7 updates d) Can the machine identify linux computers - e.g. which Distro, which version e) printers (BTW SpiceWorks does this well. The other day it told me a printer was out of ink.) Any opinions on Quest's Foglight? I've got about 90 machines (PC, switches, servers, printers, etc) to look after. Other thoughts?
