Reporter Express

Quest Reporter Express is a tried-and-true solution that lets network administrators on Windows NT/2000/2003 quickly assess network security and status, inventory users and groups, and determine corporate IT policy compliance through concise reports.

As network security concerns become more vital to business, Windows network administrators require a tool that presents a “network view” of all users and groups and their properties. However, there are no native tools in Windows that offer all this information in one place.

Quest Reporter Express from Quest Software helps network administrators address these needs easily without burdening the network. With the capability to view all users and groups, network administrators get the right information to make fast, informed decisions. Quest Reporter Express adapts to your needs, not the other way around.

Quest Reporter Express efficiently queries the network, the results are gathered and displayed in concise reports, giving administrators a single overall view of their corporate IT infrastructure.

  • Console Manager – Lets you configure and distribute reports on user and group attributes based on your enterprise’s standards. Create your own frequent reports as an administrator or account operator.
  • Scoping – Configurable, easy-to-use method for limiting your field of reporting within a domain to speed up reporting on specific portions of your network.
  • Favorites – Stores your favorite reports for fast and easy report generation
