General Details:

NALalyse allows Novell ZENworks administrators to quickly sanity check, search and document ZENworks for Desktops Network Application Launcher (NAL) objects through-out a whole Tree – its sophisticated rule-base detects dozens of NAL configuration issues, including unintended capture and distribution of machine specific registry and file data such as temp files, pre-fetch files, Anti-virus logs, DHCP assigned data, Explorer MRU entries and browser history and cache entries.

NALalyse also identifies applications that inappropriately distribution system DLLs, have no associations, are slow to distribute or deviate from Novell best practices.

Along with providing detailed reports of NAL issues and potential resolutions, various other reports aid documentation and provide detailed information on application attributes, associations, 'fingerprints', run orders, macros, flags and more.

NALalyse is also capable of quickly searching hundreds of NAL objects within minutes, identifying applications distributing specific registry entries, files, INI & Text entries etc. great for tracking down applications trampling over system files and causing 'Windows File Protection' events.

Along with free form searching, pre-defined searches allow you to quickly and easily identify specific categories of information within applications such as all the 'IP addresses', 'web addresses' or 'executables'
