"Hardware" Compliance

[gdavid]

We currently do a manual hardware compliance check on all our systems. By this i mean we check to see if our Windows builds are compliant with a standard we have. It is also repeated every 6 months for auditors.

Most of this info is gathered by lansweeper so it seems to be a great way to automate this for us.

Things I can't find.
- Are the windows share permissions gathered anywhere?
- Local Windows users and groups?

Things I want to do.
- Can i customize the Computer Report page?
- Is there a way to snapshot this profile as a baseline? and compare to a snapshot at a later point?
- If I were to manually implement some of these features, how often do you change the database schema?

Requests.
- Scan in VMX files (configuration) for virtual machines (vmware powercli contains .net sdk). This may also be a better way to scan vmware servers since SSH will probably go away with new implementations of ESXi.

thanks for all your help.

i started creating new tables with name "cust.."
but it seems that you are filtering the report builder with "tbl.."
i manually do a select * from cust.. (for example) and it brings up the table within the GUI, but this may be an issue for some of our less technical staff to create reports.

within your change tracking for version 4.1 will there be an ability to view initial scan (or some marked default) and current scan and see all differences?

Here is the code i use from excel to pull shares and share permissions. Maybe you adapt it and add the functionality to lsclient. [that would save me trouble 🙂 ]

You can right click inside the gui where the tables and links are and select "add object"

No

Yes, tblusers,tblgroups,tbluseringroups

- Can i customize the Computer Report page?

You can manually edit the .aspx page but we don't support this.

- Is there a way to snapshot this profile as a baseline? and compare to a snapshot at a later point?

No, but version 4.1 will have a change tracker per computer.

- If I were to manually implement some of these features, how often do you change the database schema?

I can't give a good answer to this, but I recommend to create new tables and prefix them with "cust"
