ok first go to the script center on technet.microsoft.com, find or write a
VBScript that will give you the workstations MAC address and Netbios names
in a text file or spreadsheet..
Then connect to the switch console in privledged mode and do a "sho cam" ( i
think check www.cisco.com for the correct syntax or you switch OS version)
that will give you the MAC addresses the switch shows connected to each
port. with these two pices of info you should then be able to label all your
ports.
