The free MAP 3.2 toolkit includes a number of new features to help you 'go green' The 3.2 release of the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit is now out and it includes a number of new features to help you “go green.” Microsoft does a pretty good job at providing free tool sets to Windows users, and MAP 3.2 is another good example of this.If you are in the planning phase of upgrading or migrating your IT environment, this free tool could prove quite handy with surfacing what computers are in your environment and what applications are installed. MAP 3.2 quickly identifies what servers, workstations, and network devices are in the environment. And afterward, it can help provide specific and actionable IT proposals and reports to get the most out of your infrastructure. Microsoft describes MAP 3.2 as an agentless toolkit that will find computers on a network and perform a detailed inventory of the computers using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), the Remote Registry Service, or the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). And the tool not only has the ability to discover all computers within Active Directory, it can also discover non-managed machines such as workgroup members. In the latest version, MAP 3.2 has expanded its assessment capabilities to include SQL Server 2008, Forefront/NAP, and Microsoft Online Services migration, as well as providing a new Power Savings Proposal.You can now download MAP 3.2 on Microsoft’s Web site.
