We are looking into buying radmin for our helpdesk operations. We have a network of a bit less than 1000 end user PCs. We have been waiting for our current vendor to update their software for Vista compatibility and have been without for many months now and no end in sight.

Our primary concern is this. Our current software allows us to input a subnet of our network and it will poll for all computers currently on that subnet with their software installed.

With radmin, we would have to get all of the computers on our network in a phonebook first to get the same result.

I have searched this forum and found the only solution for adding this many computers to be use AutoIT and create a script etc. Does any one have a sample script?

Is there a better way? If we use the deploy tool kit will it automatically create a phonebook with the computers in it? If not... could it do that at some point?

Summary: What is the best method for adding 1000 computers?

As soon as I get enough free time I'll make this script and provide it to community.

Script is done, we will place it at our site at next business day.
