12.1 Enumerate computers
This tool searches for domains and/or workgroups on your network. Once the domains are
defined, you can scan their contents to catalog the constituent computers and their relative
details (e.g., OS, other information from NETBIOS). Computers can be enumerated from:
» The Active Directory – Fast method which will also enumerate computers that are
currently switched off.
» The Windows Explorer interface – This method is slower and will not enumerate
computers that are switched off.
When performing scans, you must use access accounts that have rights over the Active
Directory.
