Microsoft IIS Inventory

The efficient solution for automated recording of your Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).

Seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures

IIS inventory with Docusnap provides IT administrators and IT managers with an efficient and comprehensive solution for managing their Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). Through automated and agentless inventory, Docusnap enables detailed and up-to-date inventory without manual effort. This not only makes everyday work easier, but also improves the accuracy and reliability of the data collected.

A key practical advantage of Docusnap's IIS inventory is seamless integration into existing IT infrastructures. Docusnap uses standard protocols and administrative approvals to collect the required information directly from the IIS servers. This eliminates the need to install additional software agents on target systems, which saves resources and reduces complexity. This method makes it possible to obtain a comprehensive configuration overview of web services, websites, and web applications.

The data obtained through IIS inventory forms the perfect basis for a variety of tasks. On the one hand, they support configuration management by storing all relevant configuration details in a central configuration management database (CMDB). This information is essential for ITIL-compliant processes and helps to efficiently manage and monitor the IT infrastructure. On the other hand, they enable well-founded decision-making when planning and optimizing web services and applications.

One outstanding feature of Docusnap is the ability to generate automated reports and documentation. As part of IIS inventory, Docusnap generates various output documents that contain detailed information about the captured configurations and parameters. Exemplary reports include presentations of directory and parameter structures as well as comprehensive overviews of Microsoft IIS website information. These reports can be created in a time-controlled and automated manner and delivered to defined email recipients, which significantly improves the transparency and traceability of IT documentation.
