Server Reporting Tool

[bozo1]

As much as I detest crossposting, I think I gave my OS Forum topic enough time without responses so now we try here:


Can anyone suggest a product for what I'm trying to do:

I have a number of customers that I will be upgrading their server in the next few weeks/months. Most are on NT 4.

What I'd like to be able to do is plug my laptop into their network and run a utility (or even run it on the server itself) that will give me a report listing user accounts (Full name, logon id, group membership is all I basically need) and the shares that are defined on the server and which users/groups have access to those shares.

I really just need something high level - I don't need to go as granular as file permissions as I don't believe any of these clients have anything that involved setup. (small businesses)

I've seen a number of tools that do that (Network ServaNT, etc.) but the ones I've found are expensive and are loaded with features I don't need.

Any suggestions?

here ya go

The freeware version should do what u need it too.

Scan the server and all the shares, group memberships should show up

Doh, I just checked, it shoudl give u everything u need, except maybe the members of the groups (it may, just gave it a 2mn check). It def. will show the user accounts, login Id's, sahres (with permisions), etc.

I have the pay version so the free might be a little limited, but the software is NOT expensive for what it does.

Otherwise get dameware NT or Hyena. Neither is as inexpensive I dont believe. You can run all of thm off your lappy, but u will neeed admin privies to the server and remote registry access enabled for most stuff.

Thanks - i'll check it out. I've used Hyena for years in previous jobs and couldn't survive without it. However, my current gig is short term deals, etc., and not much day-to-day management and monitoring which Hyena excels at.

Thanks again.
