OCS Inventory: Auf Benutzerebene installierte Software erfassen
Das neue Plugin für den OCS Inventory Agent ermöglicht die Erfassung lokal installierter Software.
Vor Kurzem standen wir vor der Herausforderung, dass auf Microsoft Windows auch die auf Benutzerebene installierte Software der einzelnen User erfasst und aufgelistet werden sollte. Um dieser Anforderung zu entsprechen, haben wir ein neues Plugin für den OCS Inventory Agent entwickelt.
Einige Programme wie z.B. DropBox oder Chrome, können direkt auf Benutzerebene installiert werden (ohne zentral für alle Benutzer eines Systems installiert werden zu müssen). Diese Installationen auf User Level konnten bis jetzt von OCS Inventory nicht erfasst werden.
Um diese Lücke zu schließen haben wir ein neues Visual Basic Plugin entwickelt. Zur Erfassung der Installationen einzelner Benutzer-Sessions, liest das Plugin die entsprechenden Registrierungs-Einträge aus.
Die größte Herausforderung dabei war es, die richtigen Einträge aus den Registrierungsdatenbanken zu entnehmen. Dafür verwenden wir eine Schleife über die SID Liste die durch den HKEY_USER Schlüssel ermittelt worden ist.
Hi folks!
I began loving computer since 1994, it was still the time of windows 3.1. Immediately I learned starting DOS games from the command promt, and while typing some white text on black background I felt like some hackish dude in a hollywoodian movie.
Later during the studies at the university, I discovered the magic world of opensource, and it was love at first sight. Finally I got rid of BSOD's =)
I love everything that is connected to some network, especially in a security perspective.
My motto is:
"With motivation, nothing is impossibile. It only requires more time."
