AdminStudio adds enhanced reporting

With AdminStudio you can customize installations without having to edit Windows Installer database tables, or even write a single line of script. Developed specifically for System Administrators, Desktop Engineers and Corporate IT Project Teams, AdminStudio provides a wizard driven interface to navigate the repackaging process. Repackaging can be done with the standard default options or tailored to meet specific needs via detailed exclusion lists, the option to capture application or system-level changes, output preview, registry settings, and more.

The following editions are available:

• AdminStudio Enterprise
• AdminStudio Enterprise with Virtualization Pack
• AdminStudio Professional
• AdminStudio Professional with Virtualization Pack
• AdminStudio Standard
• AdminStudio Standard with Virtualization Pack

Updates in V10.0

• New "Application-Centric" Organization Model in Application Manager
  In previous releases of Application Manager, you could import multiple package deployment types into the Application Catalog (such as Windows Installer files, App-V packages, ThinApp packages, Citrix profiles). However, each of these deployment types—even those from the same parent application—were listed separately in the Application Manager tree structure. The only way to group an application's various deployment types together was to create a group and manually organize them. In AdminStudio 10.0, Application Manager now uses an "application-centric" model, with the Application Manager tree restructured to display multiple deployment formats under a parent Application node.
• Advanced Reports and Dashboards
  AdminStudio 10.0 provides an enhanced reporting infrastructure. AdminStudio has incorporated Microsoft SQL Reporting Services to provide a summary dashboard of Application Catalog readiness data and to enable you to create customizable reports.
• Application Readiness Dashboard
  AdminStudio now uses Microsoft SQL Reporting Services to generate an Application Readiness Dashboard. This dashboard report provides a snapshot of the current status of packages in your Application Catalog including deployment type breakdown, virtualization readiness, and package quality and conflict testing summary information. You can click on any chart to open more detailed reports.
• Customizable Reports
  In AdminStudio 10.0, you can create your own XML-driven custom reports that are generated using Microsoft SQL Reporting Services. To create a custom report, you just need to create an XML file in which you specify the RDLC file, the data source, and the parameters that are required for the drill through reports.
• Distributing Packages to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager
  In previous releases of AdminStudio, you could use the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Web Console, a Web-based application, to configure package distribution options and distribute setup packages without going to Configuration Manager Server. In AdminStudio 10.0, you can publish Windows Installer and App-V packages to Configuration Manager Server directly from the Distribution Wizard client tool.
• Citrix XenApp 6 Support
  You can use AdminStudio to create Citrix profiles for deployment on Citrix XenApp. AdminStudio 10.0 now supports Citrix XenApp 6.
• InstallShield 2011
  AdminStudio 10.0 includes InstallShield 2011, which offers many new features and enhancements that will help you use the latest technologies and save time on everyday tasks.
