)
The
Goverlan
feel and look has been entirely revamped with an Office 2003 style
interface. Our goal is to have end-users feel familiar with
Goverlan
the first time they use it.

 |
Full WMI
Integration
(
more info
)
Windows® Management
Instrumentation (WMI) is a powerful Microsoft technology.
Using WMI technology, virtually every bit of information on a machine's
software or hardware can be queried and managed remotely. |
|
|
Alternate Credentials
All parts of Goverlan,
including the Remote Control Feature and WMIX are equipped with the
Alternate Credentials Manager. This means that Goverlan automatically
prompts you for alternate credentials if an action results in an Access
Is Denied. The credentials can be saved in an encrypted format for
subsequent reuse. |

results in a better presentation on the client side. |

objects and set the focus on them in the Goverlan interface. The
Advanced Search feature allows you to specify search criteria. |

Scope
Actions

even if you are not logged-in. Configure a scheduled scope action
to automatically generate the report in the desired format. Receive
notification emails upon execution, including execution statistics
and/or console log and/or report. |

|
New
HTML Reporting Format
(
more info
)
View your scope action reports in Report Mode.
This new format presents you with the object's properties in a table
format. Very useful for side by side comparisons of objects' attributes. |
| |
New Scope Selector
You can now define your users/computers/groups
scope from multiple containers. For computer objects, you can also
define the scope using external data sources such as the IP Scanner
or a CSV import file.
A scope can also be defined
by
importing a Scope Data File which was exported from a previous
scope definition or from the result set of another scope action. |
| |
Improved Condition and Action Selector
Goverlan 6 allows you to select a condition
or execute an action multiple times, resulting in a more flexible
and powerful scope action. In addition, you can configure the execution
order for the actions to be executed. |
|
|
Full WMI Integration
Use the full potential of WMI (Windows Management
Instrumentation) in a scope action, without writing a single line
of script. WMI has been fully integrated in Goverlan. You configure
any of the report, set or execute methods for any WMI object in a
scope action. |

or simply apply a preconfigured registry modification file (.reg)

Tools

WMIX
(
more info
)
Goverlan v6 includes a new tool in its
product suite:
WMIX (W.M.I. Explorer). WMIX is a GUI based implementation of WMI
technology, with no scripting or programming necessary. WMIX is the
easiest and most powerful way to access WMI's management features
and to explore WMI's information repository. WMIX provides access
to virtually every piece of information which is available on a machine,
from the most basic object such as it's processes and operating system,
to the most advanced object such as the settings of the temperature
probes on the motherboard. |

Goverlan Command Line Utility
Every Goverlan feature is now accessible at
the command prompt using the Goverlan Command Line Utility (GovCmdLine.exe).
This utility allows you to report on any type of information in a
XML or Text format. You can also use it to execute any action which
is available through Goverlan. Great for scripting!
To
learn
more about this utility, type 'GovCmdLine /HELP | MORE' at the command
prompt.
