Utility to list signers of all agents in all databases

Category
Yesterday, I presented my agent debugging session at Admin2008.  Some great interaction and feedback.  I was also asked if there was a free tool for listing all signers of all agents in all databases on a server.  I offered to have one written and posted, but afterwards the very kind Dennis van Remortel, sent me a database he had already written to complete the task.  I have not tested this yet myself, but as per his email to me:

The documentation
- sign it with a full accessadmin ID (because of the databases the pesky admins won't let you in)
- run it over the weekend! It's heavy
- run it on a server with some diskspace, it creates a lot of documents.
- it's crappy code, but hey, I'm an admin
- No warrenty
- Did I say no warrenty?

Thank you Dennis - you can download it from my resources page.

1 - Hi Paul, hi Dennis
nice one :)

This is also possible with the FREE version of Ytria signEZ. Since it is not done in Lotusscript it is a lot faster. Also it is maintained by a professional Tool Vendor. Here is some documentation: { Link } / And if the Admin wants to resign ALL the design elements or just one particular (person x) signature he can do so with the Pro Version for USD 47 (rent for 5 days) or USD 437 to buy

6 - You can also do this the Admin way by setting up a DDM database probe to report on all agents in all dbs on a server. It's a lovely report and takes 3 clicks of your mouse to configure

8 - sorry I meant to write using signEZ in combination with the signEZ database. signEZ with its UI allows you to work on a very granulate level on a per database approach but by using the signEZ database you can resign anything on the entire server

9 - I discuss several tools that do this and more in my "Templates, Templates Everywhere - If You Know Where To Look" presentation here: { Link }

Look for "Agent Manager", "Agent Monitor", and "DomainPatrol".

I call out the first two in my recent post about "Best Notes Templates for Newbies" here: { Link }

I also have on my to do list to package up some code I've written that would gather even agent details like scheduled agent run time settings, and allow those settings to be changed from within the tool. That data collection can be run by the server since it's not Windows (i.e. workstation) dependent. I believe the free version of Ytria AgentEZ can get this data but it is workstation dependent.
