WinReporter Version 3.0

WinReporter provides system administrators with a clear vision of their Windows network infrastructure (LAN’s and WAN’s); it retrieves, stores and reports all data relevant to the proper functioning of the network even while workstations and servers are added and removed.  

Data is read from the Windows Registry of each scanned computer and then saved into an ODBC-compliant database. Thirty-seven predefined reports help administrators monitor and audit their network, from hardware upgrades and network connections to system hot-fixes and security issues, plus everything in between. 

With WinReporter, you know your network!
