VCM and SQL Data Base 2010/2012
This is the scope: We are engaged in the cleanup of our systems with the sole purpose of checking
and remediateing vulnerabilities in all our servers. We will continue with the process in the
whole enterprise. We have a VCM as well as many other ITSM and inventory tools. They have been in
place for some time so do their widespread lax security. Our new security paradigm will arrive as
soon as I get my grips on this, to this end I must seek your advise.
First to start the cleanup I had to build a database which will enable me to organize the raw
data (bad one) I exported from VCM for further investigation and analysis. Moreover, I can
compare it to other Inventory tools like ITI, ECM and HPsim. I hope to get valid information by
the end of the exercise. Note that I developed a variance of which tool seems to be reliable and
accurate in finding valid servers as it is in this case.
My problem is this, my database is static: This means that I have to go to VCM to capture and
export data just to get an up to date inventory. This is not funny. I will like to find out how
to integrate our VCM with the SQL database 2012 I built. If you know how please let me know. I
just want my SQL database to be dynamic and in tune with the VCM. This can greatly assist me with
my work.
Thanks.
