Ping scan with nmap

At times you may just need to be able to find out what IP addresses are currently in use on your network.  One quick way to do this is with nmap.

With Zenmap it's just a matter of selecting the "Ping scan" profile and entering a range in the target field, such as 192.168.1.1-254

If you are using nmap from the command line simply type the following, nmap -sP 192.168.1.1-254

View PAE setting on Windows Server 2008

If you are running the 32-bit version of Windows Server 2008 and have more than 4GB of RAM in your server you may want to know if you are actually running PAE. To do so you can run the following from the Administrator Command Prompt.

"bcdedit /enum | find /I "pae"

It should return something like this if you have PAE enabled.
