I realize a ton of D7 users also use Fabs excellent product, and have integrated it as a custom app into D7. To be honest, I figured these people had already paid for Fabs before discovering D7’s DataGrab! If it were me as stubborn as I am, I would use Fab’s too in that case. I have also had a few people actually ME how Fab’s stacks up against DataGrab. I have no clue, I’ve never...
Since adding the ability in 5.8.something to add your own custom internet links to the Internet menu, I’ve been brewing 5.9.x functionality which I’m proclaiming to be (mostly) the Reporting Improvements versions. Reports are a long neglected part of D7, scattered about here and there, and I’m attempting to bring them all together, make them more accessible, and more useful. If you can think of other reporting features or improvements I’ve not yet made, please...
Evolution of dEventMonitor has come a long way in a short time! New Rule Exclusion Features: Exclude keywords or phrases from the Event Descriptions within individual alert rules. Global exclusion lists for Event IDs, Event Sources, and keywords/phrases in Event Descriptions. New Heartbeat Feature (daily email report with the following information:) Total/Free space on both the OS partition and any other partition or mapped network drive you define, with a warning if the free...
Following in the tradition of my Disk Health Monitor, I have finally expanded on this functionality into a fully customizable Windows Event Log Monitor application. The configuration is rule based. Within a single rule, you can: Scan the Application, Security, or System event logs, or any combination of the three. Scan for Information, Warning, Error, Success Audit, or Failure Audit events, or any combination of them. Scan for a particular Event ID, or scan for ANY...
Just released, here are the changes in v2.0: Complete re-write of the application from the ground up. Added ability to abort a shutdown/restart operation if certain processes are running Added process termination option before a shutdown/restart operation. Added option to stop services before a shutdown/restart operation. Added SMTP/Email support, to alert you when a shutdown/restart op was or was not performed, and why. WTF is ShutdownUnless and why is it useful? Any sys admin knows...
Now they are flagging v2.x of dSupport as Win32/Malintent just like they were doing with v1.7 some time ago. Yet again, I have filed their vendor dispute form, and just like last time I’m sure I won’t get a response. The only way you can help is to submit it as a false positive via this link. The only way you can prevent this mediocre antivirus from falsely detecting dSupport is to exclude it from...
Head on over to the webpage and check it out!
Starting with D7 5.6, dMaintenance 1.5, dSupport 2.3, and some other apps and their versions, they (and their installers, where applicable) will be digitally signed! Details: the signature will state “John Shaw” (my legal first/last name) instead of “Foolish IT” as this is not an official corporate entity. Sweet! If I’ve forgotten to digitally sign a Foolish IT app that you use and you want it signed, just let me know!
Just uploaded the Pre-Release of D7 v5.4 The only change in this version is the ability to run D7 Auto on write-locked flash drives. Previously this could not be done as D7 wrote information regarding the progress of D7 Auto to the D7.INI – now D7 temporarily stores this information in the registry. The information is removed from the registry when D7 shuts down (as long as D7 Auto is not in progress.) In case...
ATTENTION dSupport users! I have just updated dSupport to version 2.0 with the following new features: Ability to download your remote support application every time the user clicks the Remote Support button – this way your client will always have the latest version of your remote support app! Ability to use JPG, PNG, or GIF files for your supportlogo (animation/transparency supported!) Ability to include a custom icon for the application (at runtime, not embedded in...
