Generate Server / Computer Reports

The ability to generate extensive reports of computers and servers in you network is available from this section. In the upper left list you can select to view all domains detected on your network or only the domains which you manage using GroupAdmin. The computerlist in the lower left is populated with either your GroupAdmin managed computers or all computers in the domain you select in the domainlist.

The basic procedure for report generation:

• Select the computers you want to generate reports from
• Select which categories to include
• Press "Start". 

You can choose to generate one reportfile for each computer or to create one large consolidated report. The consolidated report is very useful to get an overview of the machines on your network. Two different formats of the reportfile are available, the standard format is easy to overview and  the CSV format is comma separated - useful when importing the reportfiles to other applications such as Microsoft Excel.

Please Note!

The gathering of information uses WMI technology from Microsoft. WMI is integrated in Windows 2000 and Windows XP. It is also possible to use WMI on NT4 if you install the WMI core components. The components are available for download from our website http://www.dware.com/downloads/wmi_core.exe The machines on your network which not support WMI will report an error when the application attempts to retrieve data.
