GFI Languard network scanner.

It has a whole host of OS fingerprints it can check.  If there are open
ports, it should be able to tell you what kind of machine it is.

Subject: [windows2000] OS of a remote system


Anyone know of a way to find out what Operating System is on a remote box?
All I'm basically looking for is a way to run a command that will tell me if
it's Solaris, Linux or Windows.  I know it's a longshot and probably no way,
but you guys are smart! :D

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to
scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints &
how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more
