A method of improving the accuracy of a topology report, the topology report covering a plurality of operating systems on a plurality of servers, the servers comprising virtual servers and physical servers, the servers comprising a plurality of processors or CPUs or both, each CPU comprising one or more cores, the method comprising, executing a first script on a computer to perform a primary analysis that accesses physical servers via an enterprise network to identify the physical servers, processors and cores, and a plurality of installed operating systems. The method further comprises automatically creating a topology report on a computer, wherein the topology report records the results of the primary analysis, executing a second script on a computer to perform one or more secondary analysis that collects information identifying a plurality of virtual software installed on the servers, and amending the topology report based on at least one secondary analysis.

Method of capturing server and operating system metrics for virtual to physical topology reporting

A devices and method for scanning a file directory on a server system by identifying and excluding at least one file directory that contains files detrimental to the system's performance to form a group of remaining directories, scanning the group of remaining directories to discover files by comparing the files to a first parameter and a second parameter, discovering the most related files and outputting the discovered files location.

Low priority, multi-pass, server file discovery and management

A server software repair method. The method comprises copying a software license file associated with a software deployment, saving the software license file to a discrete directory, repeating these steps at predetermined intervals to form an archive. The method further comprises retrieving the software license file from the archive and redeploying the software license file with a software deployment.
