jman167 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Hi, Currently, we are looking at potential improvements to our AUP enforcement. We have read a lot about AUP Informant however, there seems to be no viable download for this software. Firstly, does anyone know if there is a download out there? Secondly, does anyone know of any other software that would enforce AUP's by checking a database of signed AUP's against Active Directory users and refusing login if there is no signed AUP for that user? Any info would be much appreciated? Many Thanks
FN-GM Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Secondly, does anyone know of any other software that would enforce AUP's by checking a database of signed AUP's against Active Directory users and refusing login if there is no signed AUP for that user? We use some software that Syncs AD accounts with SIMS. So new accounts are create automatically and disabled automatically etc. You can set it to disable the accounts until the AUP box in SIMS is checked.
markwilfan Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Impero does this if you have that? Very good bit of software too 1

I'm looking for a dynamic link between SIMS and AD for user account creation. What software tools are people using? I know about SalamandaSoft, but am looking to compare it with others Cheers Rob
fiza Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 @jman167 We used it at my last place for a good few years. We got it from http://www.paulbeesley.com but that website seems to be offline currently. Paul stopped development on the software about 2 years ago. It was and still is a good (free) AUP collector

fiza Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Its SalamandaSoft, we love it here. What kind of price does it come in at?
FN-GM Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Ouch.... Its not that expensive. Software is generally isnt cheap. It does lots for us and worth the money.
markwilfan Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 I know what you mean but when money is tight.... We have an in house VB script that does all of our syncing so £1000 a year is money that can be spent elsewhere (currently on broken LCDs it seems with our staff throwing laptops around lol)
FN-GM Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Must depend on how much the school values IT. Current we are not doing that bad. They are a little tight on buying new hardware as it will all be replaced this year.

FN-GM Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 New building yes, its currently a big empty shell next door to our existing building.
jman167 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 @fiza, That's the software we want to get hold of, do you have an installer by any chance? I've emailed and messaged Paul Beesley but no reply as of yet. Many Thanks
jman167 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks for the replies. We know all about Impero and although it's good, it's far too pricey. We're after opensource software here! AUP Informant would be perfect if anyone has an installer?
fiza Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 @jman167 I will ask the NM at my old place and see if he is willing to send it to me. As its half term he may be off. Will let you know.
dalehopper Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 we have a copy of AUP informant 2.0.2 in msi if anyone PM's me
lgsmith Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 we have a copy of AUP informant 2.0.2 in msi if anyone PM's me Hi Where can we get a copy of the program? It seems as if the website links are all down.
PBrawn Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 We're very much interested in this, hope it's still available as we can't find it anywhere else!
imullings Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Don't use it in production yet but I have made a AUP program. You can see the BETA at https://github.com/imullings/AUP I haven't written the help file yet but you can use it as a logon script in group policy. Any feed back would be good.
PBrawn Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 Ah that's really helpful. Thanks loads! Will give it a try on a test machine and report back.
