Configuration vetting and reporting with Martinet

Tags:
Martinet (martinet.illinois.edu) is a configuration monitoring & reporting program for IT professionals. Martinet can help quickly identify configuration problems which may require immediate action. The target audience for Martinet are novice to mid-level IT professionals but expert/advanced IT pros in Windows environments might find Martinet to be convenient. Martinet is written in PowerShell and run from an AD-bound Windows system (typically Windows Server). A Martinet configuration file in (what is more or less) plain language describes how one’s setup should be laid out. Martinet reviews the relevant setup details (AD objects, SMB print queues & permissions, SMB file shares & folder permissions, live DNS records, etc.) and compares that specification to reality. Then Martinet emails a report of inconsistencies to specified email accounts.
