MAP: Prepare the Environment - Import Computer Names from a File

Using this method, you can create a text file with a list of computer names that will be inventoried. Each computer name should be on a new line and the file should not use delimiters, such as a comma, period, or tab.

Use this method if you have a list of up to 120,000 computer names that you want to inventory. The imported file can contain computer names, NetBIOS names, or FQDNs.
This discovery method has the following characteristics:

Scope – MAP limits the scope to only those computer names provided by the user.
Process – MAP uses the list provided by the user, which WMI then uses to perform a detailed inventory.
Limitations – This method supports up to 120,000 computer objects.
Credentials required – None.
