Hi all

I am an IT Manager for a network that have 3 different domains in 3 networks.

now i am using Spiceworks only on one of the networks and i wont to deploy it to the others.all the networks are connected together throw a firewall that i can open the desirable ports that i wont from one to each other…

Do i have to install spiceworks on all off the networks and then connect them through “the remote sites” or i can just open ports on my firewall and add domain and subnet to my spiceworks and he can dill with it.

Thanks a lot

I believe as long as you can ping the IP’s and the account used to scan the address range has Admin rights you should be able to scan everything with one server.

Now as far as best practices and performance goes I am not entirely sure.

Hi,

You can do both.

Best practice will be to use remote collectors.

Much easier to setup and better performance.

Nop. he needs to open FW ports for the scan. Ping is ICMP and that’s no good for wmi / snmp.
