Server Configuration Monitor 1.3.38 is a beneficial and easy to use tool which focuses on automated auditing and documentation of all changes made to server confgurations: hardware devices, drivers, software, services, networking settings.

Network servers have a lot of configuration settings that require constant updates and maintenance. Every configuration change can potentially impact your users and cause major disruptions in services and applications. Common example: changes done yesterday made your systems unstable, and you don't remember the old settings.

The tool monitors all managed servers centrally and records all changes, e-mailing full audit report, grouped by server name, at the end of every day. Newly added hardware, upgraded drivers, services - everything is audited and reported.
