Admin Report Kit for Windows Enterprise (ARKWE) is a powerful, agentless auditing and network reporting solution developed by Vyapin Software Systems. It is designed to help system administrators, IT infrastructure managers, and security auditors collect, customize, and analyze critical configuration data across an entire Microsoft Windows network. 💻 Core Capabilities
ARKWE acts as a centralized information hub by gathering deeply embedded configuration data from various points in your infrastructure:
User & Group Auditing: Tracks user accounts, account statuses (disabled or locked out), password settings, group memberships (including nested groups), and privileges.
NTFS & Share Permissions: Generates effective permissions reports for files, folders, and shared resources to identify security flaws.
Hardware & Software Inventory: Documents installed applications, system services, service packs, hotfixes, and active roles across network machines.
Event & Security Logs: Aggregates and reports on Application, Security, and System event logs to track changes and anomalies. 🛠️ Technical Features
Agentless Architecture: The software extracts information remotely using native Windows API calls. There is no need to install agent software on targeted workstations or servers.
Flexible Storage: Collected audit data can be stored locally in an MDB database or routed to a centralized Microsoft SQL Server configuration.
Workgroup & Domain Support: It can scan domain controllers and servers, as well as standalone Workstations using local credentials.
Automation & Exporting: Administrators can schedule reports to run automatically at set intervals. Reports can be exported into formats like HTML, CSV, PDF, MDB, TIFF, and Excel (XLS/XLSX). ⚖️ Compliance & Management Benefits
ARKWE includes a basket of built-in, out-of-the-box templates tailored for regulatory compliance audits. It generates the clean, structured documentation required to satisfy strict data-tracking parameters under frameworks like SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Newer iterations of Vyapin’s framework have expanded to cover cloud footprints via Azure Auditing parameters.
