Administrators spend a lot of time in making reports of the
servers, domains, users, accounts and shares of their enterprise. The Admin
Report Kit for Windows Server 5.0 (ARK) can help you do this efficiently. It
creates reports for user accounts and policies, group policies, security,
events, services, installed applications and general resources such as shares,
disk storage, printers, scheduled tasks, data sources, sessions, open files and
replication. It also lets you view a specific registry key's value or permission
across servers or for a particular server. ARK supports MDB/HTML/CSV/ XML
formats to export any report information. It also has filter options that help
create a report with specific information only. An interesting feature is
'Built-in Reports', which allows users to quickly select and generate
reports. Let's create a report of users and groups in a domain using this
feature. ARK requires MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) and can run on Win
2000, XP and 2003. We ran it on Win XP.
