NALalyse allows Novell ZENWorks administrators to quickly sanity check, search and document ZENWorks for Desktops Network Application Launcher (NAL) objects.

This latest version of NALalyse contains many functionality enhancements and bug fixes, additional reports, more search capabilities and the ability to NALalyse all NAL objects in the whole Tree with just two mouse clicks!

Its sophisticated rule-base detects dozens of potential NAL configuration issues, including accidental distribution of machine specific registry and file data, inappropriate distribution of system DLLs, applications with no associations, slow to distribute apps and general deviations from Novell best practices.

Along with providing detailed reports of NAL issues and potential resolutions, it also has various other in-built reports which aid documentation and provide detailed information on application attributes, associations, fingerprints, run orders, macros, flags and more.

The search tool in NALalyse allows you to quickly scan hundreds of NAL objects within minutes, identifying applications distributing specific registry entries, files, INI and Text entries etc. - great for tracking down applications trampling over system files and causing Windows File Protection events. In this version, the search functionality has been improved and now allows you to search NAL objects for less 'defined' data such as 'IP Addresses', 'Executables' and 'Microsoft Documents'
