WRK CFG NT

My boss wants me to get him a directory of our peripherals 
- what's networked how
- what's not

I got stuff the 400 knows about & I have some mysteries

PRTLCL DSPRMT etc. may have been how some device names started out their life 
but I swear they are really VRT virtual now ... when same device is connected 
a different way, does the auto configuration not change the object attributes?

We have people who had device-A & supposedly were switched to device-B at 
remote offices, but 400 says device-A last used long after device-B 
installed, so either someone else is using device-A or act of starting sub 
system after a backup somehow records device as being used, even when no 
human is home, or some other variation on this idea.

I walked around our offices to total up stuff the 400 not know about (an 
amazing number of PCs have their own PC printers ... I wonder if it is more 
economical that way, than the hassle of figuring out how to share printer 
access with only native network stuff & what the cost is of software to 
manage sharing v.s. the savings in having 20 less printers & instead having 1 
shared printer per cluster of offices).

Assuming PC LAN System Administrator lets me into NT info to poke around
... where do I go to get at list of connected stuff that NT knows about 
that's comparable to WRKSYSCFG or DSPOBJ *DEVD *OUTFILE (hardware devices 
reference directory)?

What I am looking for initially is some addressing scheme that lists all the 
devices attached to the LAN where we can see just like we can see on the 400 
addressing screen

Here is a Printer in the Purchasing Office.
Here is a PC installed in Human Resources.
How can you tell which is on local router & which is on router in remote 
office?

It might have some strange code numbers but then we would have some way of 
accessing something on the client to match up what the code numbers are on 
each peripheral, that we have to learn how.

Color me as an ignoramous in NT land
Our NT is on external ethernet, run by its own PC server, talking to 400 so 
that the 400 thinks all the virtual addresses are on some work station 
controller.
Perhaps this is the wrong forum for me to be asking this kind of question.

Thanks in advance.
