Load Network Discovery Tool (NDiscLdr.exe)
Use the Load Network Discovery tool to load resources from a text file for Network Discovery. You can specify subnets, domains, SNMP devices, and DHPC servers. Before using this tool, you must create a text file with a list of network resources — one resource per line. For more information about creating the input text file, see “Using Load Network Discovery.”

Load Network Discovery Syntax
NdiscLdr filename server sitecode [/s:sitecode] [/e | /i | /a ] [/u:user [ password | * ] ]
- filename
- The text-file name. If you are using the /e option, the current settings are exported to this file.
- server
- The name of the site server where the SMS Provider resides.
- sitecode
- The three-letter SMS site code of the site that you want to connect to.
- /s sitecode
- Processes the Network Discovery data at the specified site. Indicate the site by typing the three-letter SMS site code. By default, the Network Discovery data is processed at the site that the user is logged onto. So, use this option if you want to process the site Network Discovery data at a different site.
- /e
- Exports existing site boundary addresses to the text file specified in filename. If you use the /i or /a option to overwrite existing Network Discovery data, you should first use this option to save a copy of the old Network Discovery data. You can also use the resulting text file to modify Network Discovery data. However, you cannot use the /e, /a, and /i options simultaneously. You must run the tool once for each of these options.
- /i
- Overwrites existing Network Discovery data with the Network Discovery data specified in the accompanying text file. This option deletes all previously specified Network Discovery data. If you use this option, you can first use the /e option to save a copy of the old Network Discovery data to a text file. Keep in mind that you must run the tool once for each of these options.
- /a
- Appends the data in the input text file to the existing Network Discovery data. Duplicate entries are ignored. However, you cannot use the /e, /a, and /i options simultaneously. You must run the tool once for each of these options.
- /u user [password | *]
- Specifies a user and password for server to complete the SMS site code changes. If this option is not used, the user and password that is currently logged on will be used. If used, this command-line option must be specified last. Otherwise, another command-line option will be interpreted as part of the password. If you want to be prompted to enter a password, type an asterisk (*) after the user name. If no password is specified and an asterisk is not used, the password is interpreted as null.
Using Load Network Discovery
When creating the input text file, you can enter domains by name and subnets, SNMP devices, and DHCP servers as IP addresses. When entering IP addresses into the input text file, list the addresses, one per line. Place a header prior to each domain or IP address to indicate what type of data you are entering. The following is an example of input text for the Load Network Discovery tool:
[subnets]001.012.123.234 255.255.255.0[domains]aDomainName[SNMP Devices]111.222.33.44[DHCP]255.121.255.121
