    Is it possible to split a single, large network into smaller nodes/ip ranges to decrease scan times?

    Would creating groups accomplish this?

    Hi Bobby

    We accomplished this via the AD, importing the AD structure and then selecting each individual group to scan at one time and repeating until all the groups from the AD were imported.

    hope that helps you out.

    Each AD container is scanned separately?

    Generally we have our AD stucture as:

    ourdomain.co.uk
    group1
    group2
    group3
    etc
    etc

    Selecting ourdomain.co.uk will scan all the groups / computers in the AD but selecting an individual group will scan just the machines under that group

    One of the good things is that NIA will keep the machines grouped for you which makes administration that much easier.

    Groups will surely do this! We are working on adding network-level management in the next version of Network Inventory Advisor. However, even now groups proved they can be of a great help any way.
