    Hi Kim,

     I have install the Enhance system discover 1.7.0002 setup.msi on the SMS
    2003 Server, however, I still can't find any static IP Address e.g NT 4
    PDC and some of the client who has static. DHCP Client have no problem. I
    have modify the Enhance System Discover.exe.Config using wordpad. After
    modify, i run the Enhanced system discover.exe, it prompt me for the domain
    which I have key in.

    However, I can only see a few client who has static IP Addresss, what happen
    to the rest of the client is is on the same subnet which cannot be disocver?
    The worst is that my PDC NT4 did not even discover depspite the WINS record
    is updated.

    Aslo, is there any code to verify whether it is sucessfully after i ran the
    enhanced system recovery?

    Thanks.

    Regards,
    Christopher
