Script it.

For a single server, it's really pretty easy. 

I provide a canned solution using a handleful of scripts, blat, and
ServersAlive to loads of my small customers.

And hopefully Microsoft will realize that even small firm markets that
they've traditionally never sold MOM to will possibly want audit
collection features and thus have a Mom-lite edition.

Since ACS is for scaling to millions of events in larger installations
asking for it for 1 server seems a non sequitur...

There are dozens of alternatives, either free or low cost that would
provide a lot more features for small installations than ACS ever would.
The ISV market is saturated with such products. If you find MOM
particularly endearing, there's always the workgroup edition.

Well the other Eric F from MS has weighed in (! ~eric) Once again the
landscape has changed. It is going to be part of MOM...after all.

A snip from his blog entry-
http://blogs.msdn.com/ericfitz/archive/2005/11/09/490981.aspx


The project was started in 2001 in the Windows Core Security group here
at Microsoft.  We finished what we intended to build last year, but
during the time it took us to build it there were a number of external
changes which affected the project- changes in Windows management and
organization, and the rise of web services.

It took us a while to sort out what to do with ACS in light of these
changes.  In the end we decided that it fit better with our Operations
Manager product (MOM) than with Windows where we originally developed
it.  My team is working with them to include the ACS code in the next
version of MOM, and to keep all of our ACS scenarios intact while
gaining the advantages that MOM provides such as data warehousing and
reporting.

We are also making a change to the ACS protocol to allow convergence of
our different event collection technologies in the future.  The protocol
is web-services based but is not textual XML over HTTP.  We'll retain
the tight, stingy bandwidth use that you've come to expect from ACS, but
all of our technologies will interoperate in the future.

So now the FAQ:
Q1: How can I get ACS?
A1: You can't.  Please don't ask.  The beta program is not accepting new
testers at this time although we will continue to work with our existing
testers.

Q2: When can I get ACS?
A2: When the next version of MOM ships, but I don't know the date.  ACS
integration will be for the beta 2 release in the spring.

Q3: How much will it cost?
A3: Licensing terms haven't been set yet.

Hmm.. At the Technet Briefing Microsoft stated that it was going to be a
free add on.. If it's not going to be free I a sure that people would
rather just download an agent for free from source forge to write events
to a free syslog server.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!

Hope you have a Happy Friday!

Jose-

They closed the beta a long time ago. You also had to be nominated by
your TAM to get in it in the first place. The architecture and
scalability is pretty awesome but the landscape has changed so many
times that I'm not sure what to think. Initially, way back when it was
called DAD, indications were it would be a free product, that is
obviously not the case now.

They certainly realize that small firms want those features, but they
will leave it to the ISV community to satisfy the need, at least for
now. There are at least a dozen third-party log collection products,
probably more, some of them very inexpensive. Or there's MSFTs own free
LogParser. ACS's primary advantage is its scalability, which is not
generally an issue for small organizations.

Sadly, the beta for ACS has been closed for a VERY long time.  This close to
what might be a release, I suspect that there will not be any opportunity to
get in on the beta.

However, check with your local MS folks and see if they can get you the

2005-05-13 Thread Medeiros, Jose
Hi Bob,

Thank you for the update. Would you happen to have the link to sign up to be a 
beta tester? How do you like it so far?

The last communication I heard from the product group late last year was
that the forwarder(agent) would be an optional no-cost component in
future versions of Windows (R2 rumored) and the collector would be a
separate product, not part of Windows or MOM, pricing and delivery
mechanism as yet unknown. 

The was an online chat with the PM on April 6th for beta participants
that I was unable to attend due to other obligations, maybe someone else
here was able to and can weigh in.

Hi Guido,

I didn't explain myself correctly ;) What I meant was that one of the
component of ACS is available from the Add/Remove Windows Component with
R2. Not built-in.

ACS is very independent from R2 - it may be released within the same
timeframe, but doesn't rely on any technology introduced in R2.

I'm still in the beta and no, no release yet. And no activity as well.

P.S. I think some of the functionality is built-in R2.

Jose-

They closed the beta a long time ago. You also had to be nominated by
your TAM to get in it in the first place. The architecture and
scalability is pretty awesome but the landscape has changed so many
times that I'm not sure what to think. Initially, way back when it was
called DAD, indications were it would be a free product, that is
obviously not the case now.

RE: [ActiveDir] Audit Collection Services

2005-05-13 Thread Medeiros, Jose
Hmm.. At the Technet Briefing Microsoft stated that it was going to be a free 
add on.. If it's not going to be free I a sure that people would rather just 
download an agent for free from source forge to write events to a free syslog 
server.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!

Hope you have a Happy Friday!

Jose :-)
