Two things: 1. One of things I'm trying to gather is that service <xyz> uses database <abc> which is hosted on server <def>. It's not clear that I'd be able to get that programatically without knowing how to parse the various application configurations (which in many cases may be embedded inside Windows ODBC configuration and such). 2. From what I've seen Puppet, Chef, etc. tend to be very *nix focused. In my environment I'm very Windows heavy. Out of our ~75 servers about a dozen or so are *nix. The rest are various flavors of Windows (NT4-2008R2). While Group Policy can do a good job of pushing out policy/configuration it doesn't seem to do as good of a job of gathering data back up. -- Thanks Jefferson Cowart [email protected] _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
