Comparing servers and patch/hotfix level

Asked by dspent in Network Auditing Software, Windows 2003 Server, System Diagnostic Software

Tags: Microsoft, Windows 2003 server, 2003, Patch Level

Is there some (preferably freeware) software solution that will allow me to analyze servers (in this case 4 domain controllers) so that I can compare them to see what patch level/os level etc.. they are at.

The goal is to have each domain controller exactly the same in terms of security, patches, software and configuration.  We have one domain controller which is at the level we would like the rest to be at and we would want to be able to compare this DC with the other 3.  I was hoping there was some software or method to do a side-by-side comparison of the DC's and let me know what servers needed to be updated (or downgraded), rogue software, mismatched configs etc....  I have a program called NEWT Professional  which  does a pretty thourough scan on the DC's but i can't look at them all at once and compare.  Like if Machine A is the baseline, what is different on Machine B and C and D etc..

Thanks for any help...Start Free Trial
