Microsoft’s Windows operating system has been extremely successful and has come to hold a dominant share in the desktop and server operating systems markets. Windows is based on a complex architecture built on a set of processes and system services and a database that is a central point of control for the operating system, known as the Windows Registry.
The challenge of this type of flexible architecture is that portions of it may be altered without any notice being given to either the person using the system or the IT administrators who are responsible for managing its day-to-day operations.
Windows and most major Windows applications already offer a number of access points for agentless management. This white paper describes the best approach to maintain effective management control of Windows endpoint systems: working with agentless technology that can gather information, analyze that information, suggest needed changes and actually implement those changes as required.
