Microsoft MAP tool to also help with SQL Inventory

  • If you need to Inventory SQL, and some other servers from MS, please check out the MAP tool http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb977556.aspx

    Overview

    The Microsoft® Assessment and Planning Toolkit (MAP) makes it easy for you to assess your current IT infrastructure and determine the right Microsoft technologies for your IT needs.

    MAP is a powerful inventory, assessment, and reporting tool that can securely run in small or large IT environments without requiring the installation of agent software on any computers or devices. The data and analysis provided by this Solution Accelerator can significantly simplify the planning process for migrating to Windows Vista®, Microsoft Office 2007, Windows Server® 2008, Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, Virtual Server 2005 R2, SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft Application Virtualization (formerly SoftGrid).

    MAP expands upon the assessment features included in the Windows Vista Hardware Assessment Solution Accelerator. These features include Windows Vista assessment, Microsoft Office 2007 assessment, and non-Windows device inventory, using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Reports for these assessment scenarios are localized in French, German, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Spanish.

    We have developed a tool that is similar to MAPS but on steroids 🙂 https://www.sqldockit.com

    To differentiate from it we have built snapshots and compare technology (ability to compare any setting of the server that you have today and how it was configured for example 2 months before, so you can see the differences, and you can compare two different SQL servers so you can find differences in the configuration) and Best Practices that checks your SQL server configuration with the best practices Microsoft recommends and explains to your what you need to change on your SQL.
