ENT Server (Desktop Edition)
-
Version
1.0.3
Take control of the hardware and software on your
networks, ensure software license compliance, and
provide better support to your end users.
Built using industrial strength MS SQL Server 2000
databases, Enterprise Server provides core
functionality and services, for a variety of tightly
integrated modules, that allow you to collaborate with
co-workers, manage your IT Assets and maintain a help
desk to support users both within and outside your
organization.
ENT Server was written, from the ground up, using
distributed technologies and each of the modules in
ENT is designed to be accessible both in an Intranet
LAN environment and over slower Wide Area Network
(WAN) or Internet connections. The server can be
accessed via a web browser or using the windows
clients that we have developed for ENT server, via the
HTTP protocol, which means that minimal or no special
configuration is required in order to use this
software over a WAN, where firewalls and routers may
exist.
The ENT Inventory module for ENT Server can be
accessed using our windows client, (ENT NetCenter),
which includes a number of advanced network auditing
capabilities. Using ENT NetCenter you can remotely
collect detailed hardware and software information
about the machines on the networks that you manage and
post this information automatically to your ENT
Inventory. This audit process makes uses a service
called WMI, which is built into the Windows operating
system, so you don't have to deploy any software on
remote machines to be able to audit these.
Additionally, communication with remote machines is
made using the HTTP protocol, so little or no special
configuration is required in order to audit machines
over a WAN, where firewalls and routers may exist.
Machines which are not connected to the network can
also be audited using EntAudit.exe, a command line
auditing utility that is provided with ENT NetCenter.
