Identifying and Reclaiming Hard Coded Static IP Addresses

Hello All,

If any of you out there can shed some light on the following issue, I would be greatly appreciate it. I am in the process of rearranging the IP address space in my enterprise network. Over the years, there have been a number of workstations and devices that had static IP addresses hard coded to them. My challenge is to identify all of these workstations (in the enterprise network) that have been hard coded with static IP addresses. To make things more difficult, these statically hard-coded machines are spread out among different subnets and vlans. I would greatly appreciate any insight and suggestions!
