Network - Detecting who connects
Hello all.
We have a wireless infrastructure that we set up with two wireless networks. A private (wpa) that has access to internal servers/computers, and a public (open) for just internet usage. The WSS has access rules preventing guest ip range from accessing anything internal.
The connection out is filtered on both with reporting, but only IP reporting. Is there software/scripts/etc that can be set up to record when someone queries DHCP or connects to the wireless that it will record information about that computer, hostname/make/model of motherboard/etc?

We currently run spiceworks, but cannot see how to trigger it to scan when a new device connects.
With network health scan enabled at 5 minutes it throws an error trying to scan every 5 mins, so now its every half hour, and that is too long between, especially given the duration of the scanning it takes to go from start-finish.
Doesn't spiceworks also needs credentials to gather most of the information about the device?
It is great when you feed it the admin password of the computers though for sure.
