AMP Management Console
Excel can do things most people think impossible.
From the comfort of my desk I use Excel to, ironically, load and install Cisco's Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) solution on remote computers throughout my network without my users having any idea anything is happening. It almost feels like I'm doing what I want AMP to prevent.
Yes! Excel can control remote PCs using only what is included with Excel and Windows.
If you have, or are planning on purchasing Cisco's AMP use the link below to get a copy of this app (yes - it's free) so you can deploy that software to your network's PCs and make sure it is working throughout its life cycle.
If you are a network administrator looking for ways to improve control over you network, download this app and examine its code. It will show you how to create a deployment app for just about any software.
If you have used VBScript, you may want to learn about 'scripting' with VBA because VBA can do all that VBScript can do plus VBA can leverage Excel's user interface. So instead of exporting VBScript's results to a CSV and then loading them back into Excel, we can skip CSV creation and importing and load results directly into XL so we can examine and work with them.
