Recently my shop's CW2K server crashed. I'm trying to rebuild the inventory database. However, we have several hundred devices on the network. Is there any way to dynamically reaquire all the device information via snmp, script or tool?

If you are adding the devices into RME, your best bet is to add one device manually:
RME -> Admin -> Inventory -> Add Device
Once that is done, go ahead and export to file:
RME -> Admin -> Inventory -> Export to file
Select Comma Separated Value, Version 1
Once that is complete, you may edit the file using Notepad and add all your devices manually into the file while maintaining the format
(the number of commas is critical).
Once the file is complete, you may imprt it by going to: RME -> Inventory -> Import from file
If you are running CDP on the devices and would like to populate the Campus Manager database, then you may go to:
Server Config -> Setup -> ANI Server Admin
Click on SNMP Settings
Enter the appropriate information and save
Click on Discovery Settings and Enter the appropriate information and save
Run the discovery
Once the discovery is complete, you may send the devices that are discovered to RME by going to:
Server Config -> Setup -> ANI Server Admin
and click on Device Synchronization

There are ways. Which version of CW2K are you running? What platform is it installed on?
