Network Tool
Is there an administrator tool where I can monitor the status of many computers on a network?

HP makes a printer administrative program called JetAdmin, where you can monitor and configure all of the printers on your network. Does HP (or someone else) make a tool where you can monitor computers on your network? I would like to be able to keep track of battery life on HP laptops, knowing if they are on or off, and other basic things. The issue is that we have about 100 laptop throughout the facility I work at and we are looking for a way to monitor the battery life on the laptops more effectively.

Here is a free product that claims to monitor battery life across a network: www. manageengine .com/products/free-windows-tools/ free-laptop-battery-power-monitor-tool .html.

Landesk has a whole host of remote management software for sale, including remote battery management: www. landesk .com/Products/Systems/ index .aspx. The Landesk management suite manages the whole PC, including security, software version and security updates, and more: www. landesk .com/SolutionServices/ product .aspx. Landesk has been around a long time — they are definitely a mature player in the market. There is an article here that reviews Landesk: www. networkworld .com/reviews/2008/ 020408-client-management-test-landesk .html.

Microsoft makes a remote management package as well — SMS. www. microsoft .com/SMServer/ default .mspx.

And there is a well written, concise comparison of several of the major remote management packages here that you might find interesting: www. google .com/url.

Good luck!
