November 30, 2006; 09:20 AM Inquartos Software today announces the immediate availability of
Inquartos NetworkManager (INM), a network management tool for corporate
networks built on Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003. The program provides a
single point of reference for monitoring and administration of
resources on a corporate network and inventory of networked machines.
Inquartos NetworkManager unlike many competing products doesn't require
the installation of any client software on remote machines.
Inquartos NetworkManager has many of the features typical for the
best software in its class but its biggest specialty is a built-in
database that sets it apart from the rest. The purpose of the database
is to provide a centralized location to store the inventory information
received from networked machines. The administrator can update the
database only when it is necessary. This reduces the network traffic
generated by the program and allows making reports about remote
machines even when they are offline.
The database enables the administrator to group machines by logical
groups, regardless of the AD structure. For example, machines can be
grouped by departments within a large enterprise. Once the machines are
grouped, the administrator can execute some tasks on all of them
simultaneously. For example, he can install new software, shut down and
restart machines, send messages through 'Net Send' and generate common
reports for the entire group. Also, the database allows storing
information about employees, including their first and last name, post,
photos, list of local and domain accounts, mail, ICQ, etc. The
administrator can execute various tasks, such as blocking or setting a
password for all employee's accounts in one action. All this adds
clarity to the network management process because the administrator
deals with 'physical' departments and employees, rather than AD
organizational units and users accounts.
Inquartos NetworkManager is able with very minor network overhead,
interrogate all the machines on a network and report back with all
essential information, including detailed listing of installed hardware
and software components, local network shares, event log, installed
printers, current user sessions, etc. Besides, there is an opportunity
to execute some basic administration functions, such as manage local
user accounts, installation and un-installation of software, services,
running processes, edit registry, and apply restrictions on the use of
particular devices. All this can conveniently be done from your
workplace without the need for on-site visits.
The built-in report generator lets administrators export audited
information to a variety of file formats (HTML, MHTML, DOC, XLS, and
XML) for further analysis.
Inquartos NetworkManager lets administrators control and inventory
machines on a corporate network with unbelievable ease, as if you were
directly sitting in front of them!
