Centralis AXE 2.0

Centralis AXE has been developed to assist ZENworks for Desktops administrators by simplifying, standardizing and accelerating the process of creating Novell eDirectory (NDS) application objects. Centralis AXE version 1.0 was released in November 2000, with a Feature Release update issued in December 2001.

Centralis has created and updated AXE as the core ZENworks tool for our own consultants, to minimize the time and effort associated with creating eDirectory application objects, and to improve standards both within environments and between consultants.

Centralis AXE imports ZENworks for Desktops snapshots into a database, creating Application Profiles which can then be edited using the software's powerful processing capabilities.Centralis AXE contains a range of editing Rules to correct common problems in turning ZENworks for Desktops snapshots into eDirectory application objects, and allows the creation of user-defined Rules so that new knowledge can be captured, stored and applied easily to future snapshots, and also to allow specific editing requirements to be added for applications individually.

Dynamic, Rules-based editing, means faster, more accurate eDirectory application object creation and can minimize the size of the eDirectory application object, by eliminating unnecessary registry entries and files. Rules can be shared between administrators and between Application Profiles, allowing you to build up a central repository of knowledge gained from experience of creating eDirectory application objects.

The latest release of the software provides updated interface and improved usability, plus directory-enabled application publishing, creating application objects in eDirectory.
