Server reports

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.

After clicking on 'Built-in Report' on the main window, you will get this pop-up menu. Here, select the 'List of Users and Groups' and click on Next to continue This window asks you whether you want to create a report of all domains or for a specific domain. Select 'All Domains' or the domain you want and click on Next






Specify the accounts you want in the report. Select all the four options and click on Finish to start making the report After the report is made, click on Export, check HTML and click on OK to save the report
