In depth
A closer look at DirectoryScanner
DirectoryScanner is a lightweight and portable software utility that can identify the type of directory servers running on the local network and online.It comprises an intuitive set of options that can be configured by any type of users, even the ones with no previous experience in networking tools. The program is compatible with several popular directory servers, including Novell eDirectory and Microsoft Active Directory.As installation is not a prerequisite, you can extract the program files to any location on the hard disk and just click the executable to run.There is also the alternative of saving DirectoryScanner to a USB flash disk or similar storage device, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort and no prior installers.An important aspect to take into account is that the app does not create new entries in the Windows registry or Start menu, leaving the HDD clean after software removal.The interface is represented by a single window with a plain and simple structure, where you can set the app to scan a single host or entire network by establishing the IP address range, as well as click a button to start the scanning procedure.The results list shows the server IP address, directory type and status for each identified directory server. This information can be exported to HTML, TXT or XML format for closer inspection and safekeeping. There are no other notable options provided by this program, aside from the fact that it contains user documentation.CPU and RAM usage is kept at a minimal level, and a scanning operation is carried out rapidly and without errors. We have not come across any kind of issues in our tests, since the app did not hang or crash. All in all, DirectoryScanner serves its purpose and can be used by anyone.
