The problem
Half of IT support is checking things: is this licence still used, is that mailbox healthy, does this subscription still have an owner, why is the print server unhappy today. Each check is five clicks in a portal, and each is done far more than five times.
The approach
Each check became a script, with the question it answers written into its output. They are small, they do one thing each, and they are run from a console rather than installed anywhere.
What it does
- Find mobile subscriptions that should be cancelled.
- Find licences still assigned to disabled users, and which ones are actually in use.
- Run mailbox diagnostics.
- Compare two users side by side.
- Search for deleted users, devices and other clean-up candidates.
- Search servers and printers.
- Read print server logs and debug printing problems.
- Test network performance when someone says it is slow.
- Create and maintain wallboards.
