Network Administrator – Beta 4 Released
We are right on track with our beta – Network Administrator Beta 4 has been released.
You can get a copy of the beta from here:
As I wrote last week, we were working on the remote execute engine within Network Administrator. I am pleased to say that it is complete.
As a result of that implementation we were able to add two new plugins. They are:
Change Network Settings
Switch a computer to DHCP, or update the DNS Settings to different servers
Remote Execute
This allows you to remotely execute a vbscript, batch file, MSI installer (It automatically makes it quiet for you), or command line program. This is a very powerful addition, since it gives you the ability to create a script, and push it across all the machines on your network. One other point to note about this is that this will be faster than you doing this yourself from the command line using tools like PSExec. This is because Network Administrator will spawn more than one process at a time to accomplish your task.
If you missed my post last week, we promised 10 plugins by the time we release on October 30th. In addition to the two I just discussed, here is what we have created so far:
Mass Folder Copy – This plugin allows you to pick a folder on your hard drive, and copy it to many machines across your network. Perfect way to copy a set of shortcuts to everyone’s desktop.
Offline Files Disabler – Disables the annoying offline files setting in Windows XP, and 2003.
Logon Disclaimer – Allows you to set a logon disclaimer that is displayed to a user before they login.
Wallpaper Set – You can set a common background wallpaper image, and set options such as tile, stretch, and center.
One of our next plugins will allow you to change the password of a local admin user account. It is easy to change an Active Directory user account, but when an admin leaves, you still have those local account passwords floating around. This would allow you to change it in a few moments – across your entire network.
Get your suggestion in by mailing us at plugins@intelliadmin.com We cannot answer all of the emails sent, but we do read them all.
Give it a spin, and let us know what you think.
