Deployment Feedback

One of the most frustrating things about Group Policy deployment has got to be a lack of reporting. Warning: to go from no reporting at all to the rich reporting provided by Specops could cause shock to some administrators!

The report is very functional and easy to read. You see "in progress" and "ended" deployments in two simple tables that provide counters for the current status. Alongside this: a pie chart, and below: a line graph that constantly updates. In fact all of these update whenever the deployment feedback view being displayed. This instant feedback provides more granular detail when you select a status from either table and press the "Status details" link. From here a new window is presented with details for systems reporting the selected status. For example, selecting Error and pressing "Status Details" shows you a breakdown of whatever errors were returned (such as by internal Windows Installer error) complete with error text.
