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?

ok, so you will install an agent on the PCs?

Thank you for your help,, Let me tell you that yes,, but for some  computers (MAC) and the rest (Windows) will be discovered by the MID server (scanning to some VLANs)

ok, can you check the packet you receive from the load? this must have the last logon user information.

if you don't have the data, then you need to consider extending windows pattern.
