4.0 NT Knowledge Scripts

The NT category provides Knowledge Scripts for monitoring Microsoft Windows servers and workstations. This category also includes reporting scripts you can use to create meaningful reports about your Microsoft Windows servers and workstations.

From the Knowledge Script view of Control Center, you can access more information about any NetIQ-supported Knowledge Script by selecting it and clicking Help. In the Operator Console, click any Knowledge Script in the Knowledge Script pane and press F1.
