We are looking for recommendations on change control software. We are in a pure Windows 2000 / Active Directory network, and we're looking for software to automate, as much as possible, the change control process.

We have not implemented change control yet, we are waiting to determine what software we will use, if any, and how it will integrate with our processes.

THanks!

I have been looking for something like this as well, on and off for a few months. I haven't been able to find anything that is even a start. I have scaled back my expectations to just the basic info, like applying service pack info, when a server was rebooted, or new software was installed. At this point, I am using just a simple Excel spreadsheet for each server in a centralized location to record changes.

Every consultant I talk to says it is very important to implement change control for my network infrastructure, but when asked how to keep track of it all, they just shrug and change the subject. Seems to me a topic this important is lacking the tools to help out.
