1) Are there any good alternatives to nmap/zenmap in terms of port scanning ideally with a GUI as opposed command line<br />
<br />
2) What could prevent a portscan working. For example we need to check 30 servers, before using zenmap this worked fine. Now when I run it (from XP) it just runs forever and never churns out any results. I have tried running it against<br />
<br />
\\hostname<br />
fully qualified domain name<br />
IP address<br />
<br />
And I have tried running it under the context of a normal domain user and a local admin &nbsp;same result both times. Any ideas what could be going wrong. The targets are virtual machines running server 2003. The server doesnt have firewall turned on.

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
