Quest Discovery Wizard for SQL Server – Beta

• Discovery: detect all existing SQL Server instances in your organization and monitor your network for new instances and reveal SQL Server instances that cannot be detected using native tools.
• Inventory: learn server names, instance names and operating systems as well as what versions of SQL Server are deployed and what their service packs are.
• Consolidation: improve the reliability of critical systems, cut costs by consolidating some servers and centrally managing the others, and increase employee productivity.

• History: See a history of each database, including when it was created and installed.
• Detection techniques: A multi-faceted approach improves discovery of SQL Servers which includes Domain and IP Range discovery techniques.
• Query packs: Define one or more custom queries to run against discovered instances and automatically store results with baselines.

• Baselines: By setting a baseline, you can understand your complete SQL Server environment today and use as an indicator of future change when new servers or instances are added.
• Security: See who the end users of each SQL Server are and also use the password vulnerability check option to ensure that user login credentials are employing strong password selections.
