Deployment could not be easier. The network administrator needs to install KontrolPack on all computer systems that should be managed or used to manage the network. The client systems then need to be started in client mode while the administrative systems need to be started in administrative mode.

Network administrators can then, among other things use functionality like:

• Handle remote shell command execution.
• Share files between remote computers.
• Manage your network: LAN (Local Area Network).
• Get an overview of the workstations on your LAN.
• Lightweight XML based message exchange between client and server.
• Handle each client with a personalized tab panel.
• Send commands simultaneously to all computers on your LAN.

You can manage your computers and execute the same shell commands on them regardless of the operating system. On top of this, it provides an easy interface that can be used to view your LAN activity and manage your network without difficulties.

Users who are using this software on any supported operating system will be able to perform administrative tasks remotely on multiple computers that run on different operating systems without any technical issues.

For example, from a machine running a GNU/Linux distribution you can send an order to a hundred computers running MS Windows telling them to restart or to defrag their root partition. You can also retrieve IP addresses and routing tables from a variety of computers in order to help manage a network. Sometimes single commands are not enough, and it is possible to execute batch files and scripts simultaneously throughout the network

All different platform releases of the network management software KontrolPack are available from the developer’s website.

One of the main features of the network monitoring software is the ability to automatically scan a network based on a network adapter, device or selected IP range. The software will scan the selected range and display all connected computers and devices after the fast scan.

A click on a network device opens the Proof Scan window that provides access to information such as Ping, Traceroute, Netbios, running network services and SNMP System plus additional links to advanced traceroutes and a graphical ping view.

Other features of the network monitoring software include a hierarchical view of the network, a search, graphs and network trapping. Trapping will alert the user of network status changes, for example when a network device goes online of offline.

One network management feature is the generation of network status reports which are saved in html format. They display a detailed view of IP addresses including graphs.
