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
• Groups
• Libraries
• Accounts

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!

Mastering SQL Security with Security Explorer for SQL Server

We recently released Security Explorer for SQL Server which takes the search, management, backup and recovery of security capabilities to your Microsoft SQL Server!

This new version of Security Explorer allows you to manage the following SQL Server permissions:

• SQL Server instances
• Databases
• Database roles
• Stored procedures
• Tables
• Users
• Views

In addition, SQL Server security can be backed up and restored separate from the data in the database.

Lastly, Security Explorer for SQL Server can search for insecure SQL logons by finding those that have blank passwords or passwords that match the user account name.

A fully-functional 30-day evaluation is available for download.
