Hello,
i think using AD as a dynamic inventory is a good option.
Sometimes CMDB is not up to date and has a few or no API to use to retrieve a list of hosts.
If you strictly join all your hosts to your AD then it can be a weapon of choice for a dynamic inventory.
If retrieving hosts from AD with an inventory script seems easy, how do you “organize” your hosts in groups or such ? In differents OU? Can you add some sort of tags in AD objects ?
Ideas welcome!
Thanks!
