Systems Management
Management is an important component of every computer network.  The ability to create queries and reports containing all software and hardware in your environment is extremely valuable- especially in larger environments.  In addition, being able to push out software (including security patches and service packs) from central location can lower costs of maintaining a computer network.  There are several solutions available.  Our most popular request  is for Microsoft Systems Management Server- one of the most cost-effective robust technologies available.  Our Microsoft Certified Professionals can also help fix your current SMS 2003 or SCCM 2007 environment.  In many cases, simply cleaning the SQL database will resolve multiple problems.  We can identify and fix just about any SMS client issue.  In addition, SMS related work can be performed remotely through VPN's.  This will minimize costs involved with the overall repair of your SMS environment.  ISS can also help incorporate Software Update Services (SUS), a Microsoft patch management solution, into your existing SMS environment.  This will greatly reduce costs involved in patching your servers and workstations.  SUS is free from Microsoft and includes a web interface that you can use to generate reports concerning the SMS client community.  This allows for the total management of your security patch levels currently running on each client computer.

Network Security
ISS can assist your company in become a highly secure environment.  One problem with have a network attached to the Internet is the possibility of security breaches. By evaluating your current Network security, ISS can make recommendations to help better protect the computer network.  Solutions usually do not require additional software/hardware purchasing and can be implemented in a very short period of time. ISS will evaluate your risk to damaging WORMS, viruses, MS security holes, and more.  Solutions to these type problems are generally related to MS security fixes, reduction of exposure to the Internet, and the "lock down" of operating system level functions (services).Other areas of security include: Password complexity rules, DMZ evaluation, Group Policy Object Filtering, OS build problems, NT Auditing, anti virus solutions, VPN tunnels, IPSEC Policies, Firewall implementations, etc.
