New Software Press Release

ADUM Features a New Software Licensing Model

2011-12-04T18:18:00.000-08:00

You are about to start a migration project; wether it is a windows domain migration or a server migration, you are faced with trying to calculate how many users, mailboxes or servers you have or will need to migrate. Does this sound familiar?

In order to start this migration project you will need to form a budget committee to get approval for third party migration software that is licensed by migrated accounts or number of servers being migrated. Does this sound familiar?

Just before beginning your migration you will need to invite all the migration software developers for a meeting to see if you can get a better price then the absorbent amount originally quoted. Does this sound familiar?

Because this sounds so familiar, ManageRED Software introduces ADUM: the non-restrictive and unlimited migration software bundled solution. No per-user, no per-server and no per-operator licensing required. ADUM requires only one software bundle license without restrictions within one company. The ADUM migration software bundle is licensed to the company not the individual using the software or the number of objects being migrated.

To further enhance the ADUM concept, ManageRED Software has created three (3) software package editions: ADUM Enterprise Edition, ADUM Small Business Edition and the ADUM Server Edition.

You can learn more about ADUM migration software at ManageRED Software including how you can get ADUM free when purchased together with virtual consulting time of a migration expert.

Free Active Directory Reporting Tool - ADSearch and Report.

2010-09-26T16:09:00.000-07:00

ManageRED ADsearch and Report gives you the FREE tools you need to report on Active Directory users, groups computers, OUs, contacts, printers, shares and Exchange properties. The sheer number possible Active Directory searches and reports makes this tool very valuable for any AD admin trying to keep track of Active Directory and all it contains.

Free Active Directory Reports

Exchange and Active Directory do not provide any reporting tools, so administrators must scroll through the Global Address List (GAL) manually, searching for their targets. This means maintaining Exchange and Active Directory can be time consuming and laborious. All too often, information is not kept accurate - there just isn't enough time.

But it doesn't have to be that way. Empower your administrators with ManageRED ADSeaech and Report, a simple free search and reporting tool that allows administrators to view or print accurate reports on objects within your directory or GAL. Out-of-the-box, ADSearch contains canned reports every administrator cannot live without.

Flexible Active Directory Reporting

Managing groups and distribution lists is a time consuming task for administrators, that's why we created The search Feature. Now we bring you an additional tool that lets you easily build custom informative reports about your AD objects. Without ADSearch you may be wondering how many groups contain no members, who are the owners of all the groups or even, when a group was last modified. Having this type of data available is not only helpful but smart, as you will always stay informed on your directory.

Since ADSEarch, reports from either Exchange properties or Active Directory you must have either of the two installed to report from, however ADSearch does not have to be installed on an Exchange server or Active Directory server.

What does ADSearch and Report offer?

ManageRED ADSearch reduces administration workload and the cost of miscommunications. Best of all, ADSearch and Report is absolutely free! This translates to value for your organization, both for your users and for your bottom line.

ADSEarch is dynamically configurable to offers reports on any Active Directory object property or attribute. Allowing you to keep track of such important things as “groups and members”, “groups with no owners”, “groups that have no members”, “users who are locked out”, “users without a department”, “computers that have never logged into the network”, and many more. Active Directory Reports are customizable so that you can have the templates that come with ADSearch and add as many LDAP attributes as you need for your Active Directory reporting needs

How to get your Free ADSearch solution:

Apple Sells One Million iPADs

2010-05-03T09:45:00.000-07:00

CUPERTINO, California-May 3, 2010-Apple(R) today announced that it sold its one millionth iPad[TM] on Friday, just 28 days after its introduction on April 3.

iPad users have already downloaded over 12 million apps from the App Store and over 1.5 million ebooks from the new iBookstore.

"One million iPads in 28 days-that's less than half of the 74 days it took to achieve this milestone with iPhone," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Demand continues to exceed supply and we're working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more customers."

iPad allows users to connect with their apps and content in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before. Users can browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos, watch HD videos, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and much more, all using iPad's revolutionary Multi-Touch[TM] user interface. iPad is 0.5 inches thin and weighs just 1.5 pounds-thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook-and delivers up to 10 hours of battery life.*

Developers have created over 5,000 exciting new apps for iPad that take advantage of its Multi-Touch user interface, large screen and high-quality graphics. iPad will run almost all of the more than 200,000 apps on the App Store, including apps already purchased for your iPhone(R) or iPod touch(R).

*Battery life depends on device settings, usage and other factors. Actual results vary.

Apple ignited the personal computer revolution with the Apple II, then reinvented the personal computer with the Macintosh. Apple continues to lead the industry with its award-winning computers, OS X operating system, and iLife, iWork and professional applications. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store, has reinvented the mobile phone with its revolutionary iPhone and App Store, and has recently introduced its magical iPad which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices.

New Release: Winzero TakeControl

2009-04-08T09:54:00.000-07:00

Winzero new product release: TakeControl allows administrators to gain administrative access to files, folders and shares without destroying the original permissions by appending the Administrators group SID to ACLs.

The Challenge
To gain access to files and folders, Administrators can take ownership and grant full access control permissions and rights to themselves if they want to modify, rename or delete these files or folders. During this process the original permissions are removed.

The Solution
Grant Administrators full control to files, folders or shares without taking ownership or destroying the original permission using Winzero TakeControl.

Avoid Take Ownership

Using standard Windows functions, if you must access a file or a folder that you do not have rights to, you must take ownership of that file or folder. When you do this, you replace the security permissions that were originally created for the file or folder.

Winzero TakeControl uses an append process to add the Administrators group with full control to each folder ACL and file ACL. without changing the original NTFS permission.

Download a fully functional trial version or learn more how TakeControl can help with profile migration and server migration projects.

Winzero Takes On New Markets With Small Business Licensing.

2008-03-15T07:39:00.000-07:00

“Getting the right software solutions into the hands of IT Professionals is as simple as a few clicks.”

Today Winzero Technologies announced it has significantly accelerated its entry into the small business IT market, thanks to a new software licensing model for small to medium businesses. Combining single user licenses with a new internal Green policy, Winzero empowered its marketing and sales force to better reach Windows systems administrators by streamlining the traditional sales process and cutting the software sales cycle.

The Canadian and U.S. based Winzero Technologies develops Windows based IT enterprise Software for some of the largest and most successful businesses worldwide. Through single user licensing of Winzero's most popular software products, Windows administrators, consultants and IT professionals can gain access to software solutions quickly and online at a fraction of the enterprise license price.

The ability to rapidly respond to customers needs with inexpensive software solutions gives Winzero the agility it needs as it works to grow revenue in the small to medium business market segments, connecting to new customers and helping to increase sales within these new markets.

"Our Single User Licensing model implementation was essential for us to establish a commanding position in the small to medium business market that employs only one to four systems administrators," said JP Hann, Director of Marketing, Winzero Technologies. "Based on the new single user licensing model getting software solutions into the hands of Windows administrators is as simple as a few clicks, from our website; administrative, migration and security software solutions are available when and how they are needed to solve IT challenges."

According to Gartner, Inc., small business technologies represents one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry, with the worldwide market for IT software solutions predicted to grow to more than $142 billion by 2011.

"One of the challenges in IT today is the length of time and costs to acquire software solutions. With businesses getting more and more time-to-solutions-focused, this time factor really comes into play and can create a barrier between IT professionals who implement solutions and Business Managers," said Akos Sandor, Vice President, Microsoft Solutions at Winzero. "The combination of electronic single user licensing, reduced costs and fast availability can easily address the needs of an individual or a workgroup within an IT department."

As a result, the Winzero Single User Licensing Model will dramatically decrease the sales cycle time to benefit and costs providing solutions to administrators, system engineers and IT consultants that are responsible for and who support small to medium business infrastructures.

In addition, single user licensing eliminates the need for budget approvals, software purchasing committee meetings and delays in software delivery each and every time a new software solution is required; now it's as simple as a few clicks.

“Software solutions for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 readiness”

It was clear that in-depth reporting and removing unknown accounts from Windows server security permissions was a major requirement for three major reasons: administration, security, and migration to Windows Server 2008. Winzero RemoveUnknown addresses these three areas in a remarkable way!" said Akos Sandor, Vice President Microsoft Enterprise Solutions for Winzero.

Are Your Windows Servers Secure? Prove It!

2007-11-24T12:51:00.000-08:00

Ottawa, ON. Canada, Nov 20, 2007 Winzero® (www.Winzero.ca), a leader in network administration software for Microsoft® Windows®-based networks, today announced the availability of AccessReporter, an agent-less, fast, comprehensive discovery and reporting solution for analyzing Windows Server NTFS folder security, share permissions and tracking changes over time.

IT professionals know their IT environment is safe, but can they prove it when auditors or CIOs demand documentation? Now, with AccessReporter, they can instantly view NTFS and share security configurations of Windows servers, create and distribute security and security changes reports automatically, centrally audit security settings across multiple servers and boost confidence of suspicious auditors and nervous CIOs.

AccessReporter features an enhanced user interface and a new collection engine to maximize performance when executing large server security reporting jobs, and provides IT administrators with the ability to save reports for future comparison. AccessReporter's reporting process simplifies and shortens server security reporting projects, providing the fastest security settings collection and reporting performance available on the market. In addition, AccessReporter provides IT administrators with a granular level of control by reporting only what they need to know from multiple servers in multiple domains.

"AccessReporter will save significant time without compromising security for our customers such as VISA and British Petroleum (BP) by allowing division managers to only report security settings for what they are responsible for." said JP Hann, Director of Marketing. "When a division manager in a large financial institute needed to report data security for his division without access to the core servers, AccessReporter allowed him to report both directory and share permissions in a presentable format and track what security settings have changed since the last report.”

By providing on-demand reporting capabilities, IT managers using AccessReporter can assess their environment, track system changes over time and identify security weaknesses or prove that the environment is safe and secure.

"Window’s ACL-based security model is powerful, but because it's so extensive, it can be difficult to manage," said Akos Sandor, senior vice president of Microsoft Development at Winzero."By adding AccessReporter to our award-winning solutions, we're helping IT professionals get the most out of Window’s sophisticated security capabilities creating a more secure enterprise. AccessReporter will be especially well-received by industries - such as government, financial services, health care, and defense – that are highly sensitive to security concerns and need to keep their file server security up-to-date.”

Pricing and Availability
AccessReporter is available immediately and is enterprise licensed without per user or per server licensing. AccessReporter is available through Winzero and Winzero's global network of resellers. A free evaluation copy of AccessReporter is available at: http://www.winzero.ca/Downloads.htm.
