Today is the last day of our Metric Dashboard series preview.  This series, made up of Advertisement Metric Dashboard, Collection Metric Dashboard, Program Metric Dashboard, and Package Metric Dashboard, is a new addition to Enhanced Web Reporting (EWR).

Advertisement Metric Dashboard shows the action taken (Accepted - No Further Status, Cancelled, Failed, No Status, Succeeded, Waiting, Reboot Pending, and Otherwise) by the System Center Configuration Management team in managing the lifecycle of packages over a series of months.

Each of the actions is color-coded for easy reference:

Accepted - No Further Status  =  Blue

Cancelled   =  Brown

Failed  =  Red

No Status  =  Gray

Succeeded  =  Green

Waiting  =  Yellow

Reboot Pending  =  Teal

Otherwise  =  Black

This report demonstrates the level of effort that has been performed by the System Center Configuration Management team in the full life cycle management of applications deployed for a company.

Here is a sample output of Advertisement Metric Dashboard:

Last weekend 200 horses competed in and 800 people attended the 1^st Annual Carol Durie Memorial Hunter Classic and Gaelic Glen Silver/Bronze Show.

Enhansoft was proud to sponsor both events where the theme this year was “Think Pink.”  Horses were braided in pink, riders wore pink, and the horses’ hind quarters were dyed with the Breast Cancer Logo.

$900 was raised for the Kemptville District Hospital Mammography Unit. 

The winner of the 1^st Annual Carol Durie Memorial Hunter Classic was Exclusive and Tiffany-Heather Doyle. Tiffany donated her entire winnings of $250 to Breast Cancer.

Many thanks go out to all of the participants, volunteers and sponsors for a wonderful event!

Thank you, again, to everyone for voting.

This is our final preview of the new SSRS reports found in Enhanced Web Reporting(EWR).

Yesterday we learned that with Count of SQL 2005 Editions you have the ability to drill down to the report List of PCs by SQL 2005 Edition. This report provides you with the PC Name, Version Number, Instance Name, and Installed Directory for a particular SQL 2005 edition.

Your inventory assessment will be complete when you know exactly which PCs have SQL 2005 installed on them.

Use Enhanced Web Reporting (EWR) to stay up-to-date with your SQL licenses.

The next new SSRS report in our series of Enhanced Web Reporting (EWR) previews is Count of SQL 2005 Editions.

This report provides a count of all SQL 2005 editions within your environment. With this information you will know the number of SQL 2005 licenses you have. From here you can drill down further to see the report List of PCs by SQL 2005 Edition.

Use Count of SQL 2005 Editions to help retrieve and report on your SQL 2005 license inventory.
