Software
|
Verify SW requirements based on
SiteAudit specifications

Database
Download
|
SQL Server DB must be available to SA
Software and pre-requisites must be

Discovery
|
|
|
|
Network Scan List
|
Obtain list of networks, ranges and
individual IP Addresses to be included in discovery
|
This information is normally provided
by a network admin. The list can be
inserted into an file that can be imported into SiteAudit
|
|
Network Exclusion List
|
Obtain list of networks, ranges and
individual IP Addresses to be excluded in discovery
|
Typical items to exclude would be UPS
devices, DNS servers, mail servers, routers and switches.
|
|
SNMP Community String(s)
|
Obtain read community strings
|
Network admins normally have this
information. Common defaults are
pre-populated. Printer web pages have
the community string(s) on them.
Community string can be imported.
|
|
Locally Attached Printers
|
Obtain credentials for access
|
Credentials must allow access to the
WMI objects remotely. Typically domain
admin credentials will suffice. This
information cannot be imported and must be entered on the machine where the
DCA will be running.
|
|
Security
|
|
|
|
Protocol Access
|
Protocols SiteAudit uses – SNMP, WMI,
CPCA, NPAP, HTTP – must be allowed
|
Firewall(s) must allow the SA DCA to
use the protocols described previously.
For WMI access local hosts must allow WMI access.
|
|
White Listing
|
SA DCA Host should be whitelisted so
that it will not be blocked
|
During discovery SA DCA will appear as
a port scanner to security SW. To
prevent this it should be whitelisted.
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
|
|
|
Mail Server
|
Obtain SMTP server configuration
|
SMTP server is used to send
notifications and scheduled reports.
|
|
Department Hierarchy

Organization information can be
imported. Devices can automatically be
assigned to a part of the organization if the network is organized
