for my part, i have the same problem - as the comms people use their own conventions in sysLocation (if they use it at all). so pushing updates to devices isn't always the answer.
so i don't control the cisco devices. i do the iDRACs, but they don't use sysLocation.
I updated the locations as i slowly added the devices on, to reduce the work load, but i always wanted a script. useful for adding on adding a new physical site.
thanks
Yeah, I also have alot of inconsistency in the SNMP sysLocation values, so I've found it more convenient to use DNS LOC records instead. If you can use it with a * dns record it would be even more convenient, as right now I have a LOC record for each device, but I have all the hostnames in domains for each phsyical location so it would be nicer to just have one * record for each site domain. Anyway, the LOC records are working well for me :) -Nick
