With the latest release of XIA Configuration (version 4.2) we will be adding support to document Unix and Linux systems http://www.centrel-solutions.com/XIAConfiguration/capabilities.aspx?capability=Unix Using SNMP and SSH XIA Configuration is able to document Local users and groups Logical drive configuration Common Unix configuration files Manufacturer, model and serial number Software packages Running processes Network adapter configuration Routing table information ARP cache Using the version control features of XIA Configuration it is possible to track changes to the contents of Unix configuration files over time, or compare two Unix systems for differences

We are currently reviewing the support of Windows Server 8 for XIA Configuration Server. Basic Windows Server documentation features have passed the initial tests. During the trial process we have started noticing a few issues which I will document on this blog Firstly you cannot use VMware Workstation 7.x to host Windows Server 8 Virtual machines and need to upgrade After installing the VMware tools you may notice that the screen goes blank (only the background colour is seen). To resolve this you need to add 3D support within the Virtual machine settings.
