DameWare Exporter

DameWare Exporter is an advanced application whose purpose is to help administrators gather information from Windows machines, including data about computers, groups, disk drives, printers, shares, services, members, software, users and WMI (Windows Managements Instrumentation) classes.

Flexible user interface

The layout is made up of several floating windows that can be moved to the desired position in the working environment. This gives you the freedom to reconstruct the GUI according to your liking by dragging and dropping the exporting, information, task and computer properties panels.Additionally, the tool reveals a list with all computers, along with information about the machine name, action, status, error count and last error. You can manually add other machines to the list by entering the host name or IP address or insert all the computers in your network.

Export information from a remote computer

DameWare Exporter allows you to select the machines, pick the tasks you want to include in the exporting process (Active Directory, Standard or WMI Properties), modify the task priority (if necessary you may alter the object, output, default credentials and status), as well as check logs for possible errors.

Computer properties

The tool is also able to display detailed information about the remote machine, such as name (host name, IP address), description, domain, OS type, version and ID, last connection, WMI namespace, credential parameters and status.

Exporting options and configuration settings

The project can be saved to a file so you can easily import it for future editing options, and you may also print data, undo your last action, manage clipboard content using basic editing actions (cut, copy, paste), customize the Active Directory attributes that are retrieved for each type of AD object (e.g. computers, contacts, groups, printers, shares), add or delete WMI class, and open the saving directory right from the main menu.What’s more, you are allowed to check the connectivity of the selected machine, refresh the list with machines displayed in the main window, and load the last project at Windows startup, local computer and domain controller.You may define the settings used for the Active Directory task when a new project is created, namely automatically select the AD task upon creating a new project, export data in a single file, choose the output file format (XML, CSV, TXT), and select the saving directory. The same settings can be applied to the Standard Properties Task and WMI Properties Task.

Bottom line

All things considered, DameWare Exporter integrates a decent feature pack for helping you get and export information about various Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Windows7 network logical and physical devices. The intuitive layout makes it suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
