A NetScout device can help.

Moved into IT discussion group.

Depending on your switch, Spiceworks inventory can tell you what device is connected to which switch port. Also, you can check the dynamic address tables for MAC addresses and match to some sort of inventory of your devices.

Seriously man - if this really needs to be done quickly and correctly you should hire someone. It's an absolutely miserable job to do and if you're not prepared like the pro's with kneepads and labelers and sexy fluke meters you're going to be in for a really bad time.
-
I agree with @MattSpeller you should consider getting someone with good Netscout equipment to do this. Someone that already owns the gear for testing and the gear for labeling and can do this quickly and "easily."

I have the Fluke IntelliTone Pro 200 and if you don't have any of the jacks plugged in to anything, it's the best toner I have used. For speed, this would be a two person job.
If all the jacks are plugged in to switches, the NetScout LinkRunner will probably be faster and it would turn the job in to a one person job.
Spiceworks will tell you what's plugged in to each port, but it could take a day or two of scans.
I wouldn't mind having a LinkRunner... not that I would need it often. but when you need it,.. you need it...
