Tools4ever is a leading provider of scalable productivity solutions for the system administrator with the main focus on User Provisioning and Life Cycle management, Identity Management, Active Directory Management and employee self service.

Summary of the Tools4ever product line:

Tools4ever focuses on basic areas of systems administration:

   1. User Account Management: In today's networks, managing user accounts means performing many detailed tasks, like creating a user account or resetting a password.These tasks are very repetitive, error prone, and monotonous. By automating solutions which perform numerous combinations of user account management tasks, as much as 95% of account management time can be saved.

   2. Self Service Management: Self Service Reset Password Management offers end-users in your organization the option to securely reset their own password. The standard Windows logon window is extended with an extra “Forgot My Password button. After clicking this button and answering a set of pre-answered questions like 'What is the name of your first dog?' the password is reset and the user can continue to login without intervention of the helpdesk or sys admin. Saving all of them a lot of time....

   3. Network Monitoring and Reporting: Due to the massive growth in size and complexity of networks over the years, network administrators are severely stressed and hard pressed in controlling today's Windows 2003-XP-2000-NT server-based networks.The growing importance of company networks and the services they provide also leads to an increase in requirements for availability and performance. To effectively control the network a solution is needed which can prevent problems before they arise, take corrective actions and produce statistical information to be able to prevent repetition of problems. Only the combination of pro-active monitoring and analysis provides a platform capable of meeting end user service levels.

   4. Storage Resource Management: Increasing storage demands requires effective methods to regulate and control disk usage. While per unit storage costs are decreasing, the need for storage is increasing exponentially. Taking a closer look at the source of these storage needs, about 80% of company storage resources are taken up by large, infrequently used files. The most effective method to control disk storage capacity is user involvement.To promote user involvement, a solution is needed to both regulate disk space and monitor storage for certain file characteristics, such as MP3 and video files.

   5. Utilities: Tools4ever offers several utilities designed to make the life of every network administrator easy. These utilities are a great complement to our main focus areas as well. Take RealLastLogon for instance, this tool allows you to make a list of all user accounts and their "true" last logon dates and times. Using this list, you can automatically delete all users using UserManagemeNT Import. Other utilities provide remote desktop control without client install, complete Windows 2000 password migration and a flexible policy template editor.
