New version of NetWhyz auditing tool released
NetWhyz version 2 has just been released. The major feature of the new release is the functionality to  push” the Agent onto networked Windows 2000 and XP machines directly from the Admin Console. This enhances the existing methods of login scripts, e-mail and manual execution, and significantly reduces overall deployment time. Another deployment feature of NetWhyz version 2 is the Network Detector which regularly checks the network for live PC’s and servers. An Excel exception report lists all those PC’s / Servers that are found but which are not yet in the NetWhyz database. This helps to manage the deployment, significantly speeding up the process and ensuring that all machines are included. A  standalone PC’s version allows information from non-networked PC’s to also be included in the database. Other new functionality available in NetWhyz version 2, includes saving reports as templates, wildcard file search and auto allocation of PC location based on IP address. NetWhyz has also been positioned more aggressively as audit software for compliance reporting and negotiations are in progress with several major IT companies and Accounting practices to exclusively use NetWhyz for network auditing. The new software licence management functionality allows companies to closely control their software compliance. NetWhyz can also be integrated with third party helpdesks such as HEAT, Remedy etc, to populate the helpdesk fields with information on hardware and software. More about NetWhyz.
