The vendors like to tout auto-discovery as a feature that solves the problem of discovery - how to populate a Configuration database and keep it populated. It isn't. [Oh alright, I'll call it a CMDB so long as we all understand I don't mean the ITIL-defined dream model].

I don't get paid to say nice things and I don't get paid to review anything. You may have noticed Google and Amazon ads on the site, as well as ads for my books and merchandise. I make money off them, but sod all. At least it covers the hosting with a bit left over.
