Automated Change Control and Entitlement Delegation for Windows Server
In most organizations, Windows server administration entitlements take the route of more is better. Likewise, IT Managers
are often forced to grant employees broad, powerful, and permanent privileges to production servers in order to accomplish
narrow tasks that need to be done only infrequently. With compliance and operational efficiencies at the forefront of most
IT initiatives, that way of doing business is no longer an option. Unfortunately, managing entitlements and change activity
on Windows servers is not practical through a manual approach and is unmanageable with native tools. Moreover, to meet
auditors' demands for greater change control, IT organizations have been forced to create homegrown "firecall"
systems or manage permissions manually.
Join NetIQ for Automated Change Control and Entitlement Delegation for Windows Server and hear how to:
- Implement effective change control on servers.
- Leverage entitlement and activity reports to assure policy and regulatory compliance Increase operational integrity and security of your servers through the use of just-in-time permissions and granular access control.
- Assure changes are implemented and validated.
During this interactive session, you'll have the chance to see our new market-making product, NetIQ Change Administrator.

Rutter completed the migration of 1700+ users
Rutter Networking Technologies, Inc. undertook the challenge of migrating over 1700 users from a combined legacy Banyan Vines and Windows
NT 4/Exchange 5.5 environment to an integrated Windows 2000/Exchange 2000 environment. This migration included the deployment of over 25
new servers and approximately 50 new workstations. Adding to the technical challenges of this project were the logistical issues of handling
user migrations at over 50 sites which spanned 11 counties across the state of Massachusetts. Rutter engineers worked with IT personnel in
each county to plan the migrations then executed the migrations typically starting mid-week. Engineers followed up with on site support and
knowledge transfer for the migrated site the first 3 days of the following week. Due to superior experience and planning, Rutter's engineers
limited their weekend project time to ONE partial Saturday. In addition, Rutter's engineers managed to complete the entire migration from
design through the final on site support day in less than 3 months.
