Network Administrator is a nifty little tool for IT Administrators in small to medium-sized environments. So, what can it do you ask? Well, according to the publisher of this tool, it can:
- Validate installation of 2007 Daylight Saving Patch. It can detect ours, and Microsoft’s patch
- Push out and apply 2007 Daylight Saving patch to Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003 machines
- Disable USB Drives
- Disable CD-ROM Drives
- Disable Floppy drives
- Prevent the automatic install of IE 7
- Reboot Machines
- Shutdown Machines
- Logoff Machines
- Set the VNC password of remote machines
- Keep machines from automatically rebooting when automatic updates have finished
- Stop services
- Start services
- Disable services
- Set services to manual
- Set services to automatic start
The price is kind of steep at $199 per administrator, but the free version (which I’m using) allows making changes to 3 machines at a time – in fact, I just used it a few minutes ago to enable RDP on a newly built machine without having to go through the console.
You should check it out as it’s a worthy little tool for your toolbox.
