Screenshot 151: Enumerate Computers tool
The enumerate computers utility identifies domains and workgroups on a network. During execution,
this tool will also scan each domain/workgroup discovered so to enumerate their respective
computers.
The information enumerated by this tool includes:
The domain or workgroup name
The list of domain/workgroup computers
The operating system installed on the discovered computers
Any additional details that might be collected through NetBIOS.
Computers are enumerated using one of the following methods:
Option Description
From Active
Directory
®
This method is much faster and will include computers that are currently switched off.
From Windows
Explorer
This method enumerates computers through a real–time network scan and therefore it is slower and
will not include computers that are switched off.

To enumerate computers:
1. Launch GFI LanGuard.
