MSI Studio for Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Manager

We've recently released a new version of our MSI Studio solution made specifically for SCCM. MSI Studio for SCCM extends beyond its already impressive list of packaging features (which include the packaging, repackaging, merging, editing, and conflict testing of MSI installer) to include integration with SCCM by deploying packages directly into SCCM from within MSI Studio.

Take the Walkthrough Tour of MSI Studio to see how this "for admins, by admins" MSI management solution makes the creation, editing, and deployment processes of MSIs a simple task.

A 15-day evaluation is available, as is an online TestDrive of the solution.

Desktop Authority Asset Inspector

We've just released Desktop Authority Asset Inspector for public beta. DA Asset Inspector is a web-based soluiton for accessing and managing hardware and software assets utilizing the inventory collected using Desktop Authority.

Desktop Authority has enabled organizations to inventory the hardware and software, but it is Asset Inspector that will allow true management of that data. Asset Inspector will allow a drill down of hardware and software, custom grouping of assets and license management.

You can download the beta of Desktop Authority Asset Inspector on our public beta site. If you do not have a copy of Desktop Authority installed, you can download a 30-day evaluation.

ScriptLogic podcast on myITforum.com

I had a great conversation this week with Rod Trent at myITforum.com (one of the premiere IT Professional websites) which is available as a podcast. In it we discuss the Quest acquisition, our recent product releases, virtualization and a host of other topics.

Take a listen.

Remotely Support Users Anywhere with our Remote Management Gateway

This is a very exiciting release for us. We've extended our Remote Management client from within Desktop Authority by creating a separate remote management offering with Desktop Authority Remote Management Gateway which now, in addition to the standard set of workstations within the corporate office, supports both workstations that are not domain members and those whose machines are not physically in the office.

Utilizing a gateway service residing in your perimeter network, the Remote Management Gateway facilitates the support of users regardless of whether the user being supported or the IT professional doing the supporting are within the walls of the office.

Remote management takes on more than just remote control by allowing you to perform over 40 tasks without needing to be interactive with the user, raising the user's productivity and then still facilitate remote control should interactivity with the user be required to solve the problem.

This is a fantastic solution in conjunction with our helpdesk product, BridgeTrak, providing a comprehensive issue management solution.

A fully functional 30-day evaluation is available.

You can also take the web-based Interactive Walkthrough.

Enterprise Security Reporter for SharePoint is Available!

We excited to announce the addition of SharePoint reporting to our Enterprise Security Reporter platform. Enterprise Security Reporter for SharePoint enhances the reporting capabilities from just Windows and Active Directory security to now include SharePoint servers.

The following SharePoint security information can be collected and reported on:

• Sites
• Permission levels

Over 20 turnkey reports exist out of the box and, as always, custom reports can be easily created using a simple wizard-driven report generator. No SQL knowledge is required!
