TranslateScanning MACs with Spiceworks
So are you trying scan MAC’s from Spiceworks and having some trouble, this post will help you.
To scan MAC’s their are some things you need to change on both Spiceworks and the MAC’s them self’s.
Configuring Spiceworks:
Configuring Spiceworks is nice and easy, then again the MAC bit isn’t really that hard.
- Open Spiceworks
- Go to Settings
- Network Scan
- Manage Network Accounts.
- Add a SSH account, if you have a account the same on every MAC then its easier if not you will need to add each MAC’s login details.
- Remember this as you will need it for all your MAC’s
- Edit the scan range so that it will include the MAC’s
- When editing the Scan pick SSH in the account.
Configuring the MAC:
Now when you need to go to the MAC and setup SSH.
- Click the Apple icon in the top right
- Go to System preferences
- Internet and network sharing
- Remote login
- Make sure that your computer name is alpha-numeric and does not have any special characters or spaces.
- Go back to Sys preferences then Network
- Be sure that both your AirPort (if applicable) and Ethernet have the WINS (under Advanced) NetBios name show the same as the computer name.
- Apply you settings
- Make sure you can login with the account you have setup in Spiceworks
- Done
Now you have setup both Spiceworks and the MAC you should be able to Scan the network.
