So I'm working on a normalisation of manufacturer names. I have a list of Mac Address manufacturers and SNMP manufacturers. These are easy enough to download (links below). Having these will make us use a single name for devices made by the same manufacturer.
For example, for HP we have -
HP, hp, Hewlett Packard, Hewlett-Packard, Yokogawa Hewlett Packard, SVTO Hewlett Packard, Hewlett-Ward Inc., Hewlett Packard Slovakia. Some of these are from SNMP, others from device audits, others are from the MAC.
So I have MAC and SNMP, good so far. What I don't have and cannot easily get are manufacturers reports from the motherboard. IE - What we retrieve with the audit scripts. I'd love to be able to add these to the list and normalise them as well.
So I'm asking... Can you run your Manufacturers Summary, export to CSV and post it here? I can then add any missing names to the list. It would be very much appreciated and help you as well as the project itself.
I'll start - mine is below. Feel free to remove any manufacturers you can see have already been posted (or not).
We only need the name so if you want to cut and paste that column from a spreadsheet (export to CSV), that would be even better

As is obvious - VMware is a perfect example...
Thanks in advance.
