With no sms or tivolli ...things are looking bleak...

has anyone very had this same problem.
I need wins dns (scopes) disk space !
All the normally asked question by managment.

Anyone got any ideas?
thanks

If not or if you need the information on demand and not only due to the servers login then you should triger it from rconsole, telnet or do not know what. You could even schedule the report.kix on every machine.

the report.kix is enough to produce a tab delimited line with the host info.

man, that hurts , what ?
Ok, at least for the Diskspace :
You might want to use a variation of the snippet here : http://kixtart.org/board/Forum1/HTML/001417.html

Could you specify what you exactly need to audit.. maybe we could be more helpfull

REGREAD.EXE lets you look up regestry entries on remote computers.

Example:
REGREAD.EXE \\ltn3 SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
\Tcpip\Parameters hostname
Will return the just the information you are looking for in quotes.

"LTN3"

You should be able to find much of the information you are looking for in the registry, you just need to know where to look.

Also..

SRVINFO.EXE is great for getting HDD free space.

Example
SRVINFO.EXE -od \\ltn3

C$,NTFS,12971,2263,10708
D$,NTFS,17516,2799,14717
E$,NTFS,17516,65,17451

Tells you total, used and free space for drives.

You could run one script from your workstation against a list of servers and have it collect all the information and dump it into a .CSV file for use with Excel or something.

Later,
Mark Pearce

Mark : Thanks for remindingme of the REGREAD and SRVINFO tools.. I didn't think of it..

Pepafuqi : I will try to code up something tomorrow morning..!!

Why can't we just use the remote registry features built into Kixtart instead of the REGREAD?

READVALUE will read a remote registry if you give it a path name.

(E.G.)
$x=ReadValue("\\ltn4\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion","CSDVersion")

Will tell me the current Service pack on my server LTN4.

Just a thought.

I the posts have been amazing.Fabian YOU the King!

I need some how a way to generate a full invintorty. like dhcp scopes and wins server settings..
network card model...the list just gets better..

mybe we could write crazy full blown kix util that could end up as the administrators tool of tools (when working for a cheap as comapny like mine!!)

Needs lots more registry entries. If anyone that knows a useful registry location, please post it. I'm sure the IP address and NIC information is in the registry somewhere.

NOTE: I put the files in c:\kixtart because I couldn't get the SHELL 'CMD /X /C $UtilDir\srvinfo.exe -od \\$ServerName > $TempFile' line to work with a directory that had spaces. Maybe someone can fix it.

Later,

I realize you can use tools like Hyena ..to do this. But a kix script would be far cooler...mybe some ole stuff going on as well.

thanks guys + girls

------------------
there can be only one!

I looked at the DHCP stuff in the registry, but it's mostly in binary and not very usable. I have not found a good text based utility to decode it yet.

Hope you find what you are looking for.
Mark P.

I know Compaq has his own (very impressive) survey tools for servers, and i'm pretty sure HP has got one too.

I hope this helped instead of confusing you any further.

Greetings,

Roger the Young (roughly translated)

What kind of DNS Scope information are you looking for? Is the server you are getting the information from running a DNS server? Or are you just trying to figure out which DNS servers it is using? If it is running a server, you need utilities to query the server.. DNSCMD.exe in the (new)NT resource kit will give you some server info and zone info.

There is also the DHCPCMD.exe in the NT Resource kit to query a DHCP server for information on how many addresses are in use and who is using them.

Oh well,
I will stop bugging you.

I have found your script and fabians very usefull so far.
thnaks for the great help!!
I have used so far to help get a quick report together.

When I finall get some thing really good going I will post it.

thanks
