HAM discovery Process

[apolo victores]

I will implement the Discovery process for identifying about 9K computers, using discovery I intend to populate the CMDB and the Alm_hardware table (repository) , but I have doubt about if the Discovery process can also identify the owner of each computer and also there are some MAC computers that need to be identified,, is there a special procedure to be able to identify those MAC computers?

What is the best method to populate the 2 DBs?

Hello Apolo, 

What will be the source of discovery? is this MECM? if yes then you can get the attribute related to the current user from the MECM, for MECM you might want to login to the Server where MECM DB is running and you can do a query similar to what is in service graph connector. 

For MAC you can use Intune, which again can be configured using SG-Intune service graph connector. 

Are there other agents running on target devices? 

Please clarify.

Oh no!,, We will just do the discovery process through the ITOM Discovery visibility, and we won´t use Inntune either.

ok, so all the PCs are going to be added to an AD group? how will discovery authenticate?

I am afraid I didn't explain myself,, We won't use any Microsoft tool,, we will just discover the PCs using the ITOM discovery tool.
