The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Server Configuration Change Tracking

Asked by dgooding in Windows Network Security

Tags: , , ,

Looking for a software solution that will automatically track changes on a server(s).  It needs to monitor the following (or at least the large portion of the following):
 · Operating System Upgrades
 · Operating System Patches
 · Addition/Deletion of Applications
 · Application Upgrades
 · Changes in Trust Relationships
 · Non-routine virus signature upgrades in response to specific threat (i.e., Nimda virus)
 · Policy Changes
 · Global user right changes - i.e., removing Authenticated Users from Access this computer from the network.
 · High level share changes - i.e., removing Authenticated Users from a certain share

Currently researching www.cirba.com, but they seem to be proud of their product ($$$).  Cost is certainly an issue, as this software will need to monitor ~15 servers (whether independently, or together).  

Currently, we are using a good ol' Excel file to keep track of changes, using the old hand-and-keyboard method.  This is becoming more and more difficult as we continue to add servers.  

Any suggestions/thoughts/comments are welcome.
