NetWrix Server Configuration Monitor 2.2.165

Even minor configuration changes made to servers can potentially impact your users and cause major disruptions to businesses. Every time a change is made, it makes a lot of sense to properly document and communicate it, especially when the servers are maintained by multiple team members. Another example is very common: changes made yesterday broke your systems, and you don't remember the old settings. A popular web resource for IT professionals, TechRepublic, considers failure to maintain change documentation the 3rd among 10 worst things IT professionals can do. Logging all changes manually is a time consuming and error-prone task, and requires signficant efforts in environments of all sizes, whether you have 1 server or a thousand. Also beware of unauthorized changes, because nobody will ever document them at all.

Server Configuration Change Reporter is a free tool for automated auditing and reporting of all changes made to server configurations: hardware devices, drivers, software, services, networking settings, etc. The tool centrally monitors multiple servers and sends daily summary reports about any changes detected through the last day. New hardware devices, driver upgrades, changes to services and applications - no change will pass behind the scenes, no matter who made it and how. You just setup this tool once and start getting daily summary reports about all changes, grouped by server name.
