You Gotta Have Spice Mac OS

There are agents for multiple OS due soon, but soon does not have an ETA, you should be able to scan macs without though View this 'Best Answer' in the replies below » Popular Topics in Spiceworks General Support. If you are like me, you already have a number of older versions of the Mac OS Missing Manuals lying around. My last one was for Leopard. A comparison of the Table of Contents of Leopard's (10.5) Missing Manual to that of Lion's (10.7) highlights some of the new additions to the manual: Full Screen Mode, Mac App Store, Launchpad, Auto-Reopen, Mission Control, Auto Save (Versions, Rewinding.

So are you trying scan Mac's from Spiceworks and having some trouble, this post will help you.

To scan Mac's their are some things you need to change on both Spiceworks and the Mac's them self’s.

  1. Without the Tools/Agent, you will get reduced performance graphics. Verify that you're using the latest version of Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. If you're using Safari or Chrome, be sure to import the RHEV-M CA certificate into the OS X keychain. If you're using Firefox, you'll.
  2. Download SPICE for Mac to analyze large FLOWJO data sets from polychromatic flow cytometry. SPICE has had 1 update within the past 6 months.
  3. On newer MacBooks (I have a 2017 for reference), this is a huge PITA to get set up. Windows isn’t bad at all if you use Boot Camp, but the hardware support in Linux is awful (I use Ubuntu, maybe it’s different for other dists). For installation, you need a USB mouse and keyboard because neither the built-in trackpad nor the keyboard works.

12 Steps total

Step 1: Part 1

This part you will configure the Mac to be able to be scanned by Spiceworks

Step 2: Open Internet and network sharing

# Click the Apple icon in the top right (or left depending on your setup)
# Go to System preferences
# Internet and network sharing

Step 3: Remote login

You should see something for 'Remote login'
open that.

Make sure that your computer name is alpha-numeric and does not have any special characters or spaces.

Step 4: Check the names match up

Go back to System preferences then network:

Be sure that both your AirPort (if applicable) and Ethernet have the WINS (under Advanced) NetBios name show the same as the computer name.

Step 5: Apply the settings

Step 6: Setup a Spiceworks Login

Most Mac's in my experience arn't on a domain, so setup a new user for Spiceworks and check you can login.

Remember these details you will need them soon.

Step 7: Part 2

Time to setup Spiceworks

Step 8: Goto Network Accounts for Scanning

# Open Spiceworks
# Go to Settings
# Network Scan

Software

You should see a section called 'Network Accounts for Scanning'.

Step 9: Add a new SSH account

Add a SSH account, if you have a account the same on every Mac then its easier if not you will need to add each Mac's login details.

Step 10: Add a new scan range

At the top of that page you should see the option to add a scan range.

Enter the range and on the SSH dropdown pick the username for the Mac devices.

Step 11: Enable Scanning for Linux Software

On the network scan page, goto Additional Settings (at the bottom) then set Skip Linux Software to false.

Step 12: Scan

You should now be able to scan your network fully :-)

    Thanks Andy - handy if we ever get any Apple Mac's on our network. To be honest I read this thinking I'd missed a trick at layer 2... ;)

    Top man excellent info (as always)
    I'm a Mac man now as the new CEO only wanted a Mac and not any of the Windows machines we usually use here!
    Still - It's a learning curve... :)

    Cool. What if you've added the mac to you active directory domain. Can you use a windows domain account to scan or do you have to user SSH?

    This worked -- outstanding step-by-step, thank you. One question on wording in Step 11. Was this:

    On the network scan page, goto Additional Settings (at the bottom) then set Skip Linux Software to false.

    Supposed to be:

    ....then set Scan Linux Software to true.' ?

    Sorry does not work on my iMac Snow leopard 10.6.8 The SSH server refuses to speak to my Mac machine I know the SSH is work because I tried to talk to it via the cmd line. I read in another Spicework article and it was saying spiceworks supports sshv2 and not sshv1. See below:

    'Spiceworks uses the SSH2 client, so it cannot connect to SSH servers that only understand the SSH1 protocol. This problem tends to show up when the correct login/password is used, but the test login still fails.'

    Doesn't work for mine. Has there been any follow up to this? Would be helpful since I'm trying to integrate SW to handle the load of network monitoring. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be going to well.

    I recommend using Centrify to AD connect your Macs - makes scanning with SpiceWorks at lot simpler.
