SYDI-Server 2.3 Released

I’ve just released SYDI Server 2.3.

This is the change log for this release:

  • Added Product Keys (-rk) for Windows and Office to SYDI Server (based on script by Parabellum)
  • Added Product Key tab in SYDI Overview
  • Added IP Subnets in SYDI-Overview
  • Added Errorlevel 999 when script fails to connect to target computer
  • Added link to patches when viewing xml files in a browser
  • Added German language file for ss-xml2word.vbs (by Jan Picard)
  • Removed Copyright character from xml files (bug)

All of the above has been added after getting feedback from users. So if there’s something you want to have implemented there’s a good chance it won’t happen unless you tell me about it.

Anyway I hope you like the new version, if you have any thoughts please post a comment below.

Tack som FAN!

Från att inte ha haft någon som helst koll på licenserna i vår produktionsmiljö, så har jag sen en lunchrast 100%-ig koll på vilka programvaror som körs.

Riktigt bra, riktigt bra!
Vore guld om man kunde få in allting i en databas av något slag (ok, excel-wrappern fungerar – men databaser är mer mitt gebit) .

Mvh

Patrick,

this is super stuff, like your work. However I have one question you or maybe some of the others that are using your script might know or have answer too. Are you aware of somebody having this integrated into a CMDB or similar configuration DB?

Cheers Thomas

I have a Problem with the german language file.
when i use the the german language with Word there ist no Product Key section in the document.
when i create an HTML file i can find the Product key section.

Andreas – This is because I only maintain the English and Swedish language file, those are the only languages I know so I need help with the other ones. I am going to write more about this to explain it. As a quick fix open the english file and copy the section containing product keys and just make up your own translation.

I am glad I found your site and the SYDI script, it made my documentation activity not failing the deadline.

I am having trouble runnnig the script on Windows Server 2008 machines. I’ll key in server name then fails to run. Have run on multiple 2008 servers. Can someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I am also having this issue with running teh script against windows 2008 servers. Has anyone found a solution to this? Thanks in advance.

I’ve just finished going through this with a fine tooth comb, and after looking at the event logs on my windows 2008 server, I relized that I had a typo in my command syntax when using ht e-u for username I had accidentally used a -u instead of a -p for the password. After fixing my command I was able to successfuly audit a windows 2008 server machine. Something to note is that you must go into the “Windows Firewall with advanced security” under administrator tools and turn off the firewall for all three zones (public, private, and domain) this was what I had to do to get teh script to run after fixing my command syntax.
