Scan an IP Address Range

The Scan an IP address range computer discovery method is limited to scanning only 100,000 IP addresses at one time. If you have more addresses than the limit, run the wizard multiple times, specifying different IP address ranges each time.

The following recommendations are provided for the IP address range computer discovery method:

·         Use this method to specifically target a set of computers in a branch office or specific subnets when you only want inventory performed on those computers.

·         Use it to find devices and computers that cannot be found using Windows networking protocols or Active Directory Domain Services.

·         Limit the size of the IP address range provided to reduce the time required to perform the inventory.

Important: The IP addresses specified calculation will include addresses that are the network ID and broadcast address for a subnet, if they are included in a specified IP address range.
