Scan network for Windows 7 units

Are there any known tools like advanced IP scanner I can use to scan the network and report OS? I want to do a workstation survey and find out which machines currently on the network I am connected to are running Windows 7.

Do you have a managed antivirus solution? If so it will likely provide a report with the OS version of all protected PCs.
