Default OS Detection for multiple machines

I'm looking for a utility that will display (or report) the OS of machines based on a subnet. Something like the uptime.exe utility that comes with the windows resource kit but able to hit numerous machines. I'm looking for an input/output similar to this:

C:\>osdetect 10.0.0.0/24
10.0.0.1 Windows 2003 Service Pack 1
10.0.0.2 Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
10.0.0.3 Windows XP Service Pack 3 (Beta)
10.0.0.4 Windows 2003 R2 Service Pack 2
10.0.0.5 Linux 2.6.21 (Ubuntu 7.10)
10.0.0.6 Windows NT4 Service Pack 6
.
.
. etc


Does such a utility exist? I have used uptime.exe and NMap but thats more of a brute force attempt at detection, as i have admin rights on the network it is much easier and quicker to simply ASK the machines what OS they are than do a port scan.
