Scheduled Exception Reports - Emailed Out??

Postby xpuser8334 » Sat Mar 06, 2010 1:00 am

I know that OA1 if you use the console will show you things like:-
Out of date AV etc.
but is there a way to schedule:-
- Out of Date AV
- Out of Date Windows Updates

to email either a list or a few named users (outside and internal to the OA1 / OA2 Installation / network)

As a service provider in the UK, sometimes the restrictions imposed mean that we can only get access via dual factor authentication and NOT permanent links.
However, the details can be emailed to us to action!

Just had a concern raised, where one client and the onsite support guy has NOT been reporting or acting on the exceptions it shows!

Thanks,
Wayne. :?: :?:

Doesn't currently do this, but Chad's scheduler code could probably be pressed in to action.

Alternatively with a few mods, the audit.vbs script could be asked to send the results in an email, to be posted to a central database, this would probably be neater as it eliminates the remote operators.

We could then have the central locations open-audit@yourdomain.com mailbox scanned for emails with a particular subject i.e those sent by audit.vbs, with a subject like - Open-Audit-report-{machinename}-UUID for example, and then "PUT" the contents in to the web form.

The webform could also be set to trigger an email event if the av is out of date, or for any other event of this sort.... this opens up all sorts of other possibilities.

How would you imagine this to work
