Can anyone recommend a utility, preferably free, that I can use to scan a network for host information such as make, model, serial number, OS etc?

I need to compile an asset list for a client and would prefer not to have to physically go from machine to machine to gather this info.

Thanks
 
Thanks guys, some interesting programs here, yes I am in a domain environment.
 
You could use a tool like NMAP and dump the scan to a text or CSV file, if you wanted a raw report. You can always create an excel sheet to collect only data you want out of those files.

Something else you could try is a SIEM like Security Onion or Alientvault, just toss Alientvault on some old hardware and only run the inventory manager. This way you would get hourly scans and be able to keep track of what's coming and going, also leave notes about devices if needed. Not really what Alienvault is for but it's pretty good at it and it's free, plus automated.
