RemoveUnknown Key Benefits

 

RemoveUnknown allows you to report, remove and resolve Unknown SIDs and unknown accounts from server folders, files and shares in your Windows NT, 2000 and 2003 environments seamlessly.

With an easy to use user interface, you can simultaneously run the unknown ACL collection agent, perform an unknown SID Report and remove unknown SIDs in one operation. The unknown SID Report results identify which folders, files, shares contain unknown ACEs and lists all Unknown SIDs that exist on the selected servers. By selecting one or more unknown SIDs the Unknown SID Removal removes every instance of the unknown SID in all folder and share ACLs.

Quickly perform unknown SID collection by running the collection agent immediately or gather cumulative reports over time with the built in schedule service on multiple servers.

Key Collection Features:

  • Collection process uses Winzero RNTT (Reduced Network Traffic Technology) to reduce server and network overhead.
  • Collect Unknown Accounts from folder NTFS
  • Collect Unknown Accounts from share permissions
  • Schedule collection at off hours
  • Run collections on multiple servers simultaneously

The Unknown SID Removal is performed using a three step process.

 

Unknown SID collection gathering can be performed immediately or scheduled to run at a predetermined time. To reduce overhead and network traffic the server collection is generated locally on the collection server.

 

Again, to reduce overhead and network traffic the unknown SID report is generated locally on the remote server The Report agent creates the report file and stores it on the remote server.

 

Once the unknown SID Report is complete, the results are import into the main RemoveUnknown user interface where one or more Unknown SID can be selected and set for removal. Every instance of the unknown SID is removed from every Folder and Share automatically from the selected server and a results report is generated that may be sorted, saved, printed or exported to Microsoft Excel.

SID Reports and Resolve Tools:

  • Report current server SIDs and account names
  • Report current Domain SIDs and account names
  • Report unknown accounts in server local groups
  • Resolve SID to account by server
  • Resolve SID to account by domain
  • Resolve account to SID by server

  • Resolve account to SID by domain

The current server and domain SID to Account Report resolves users, local groups, and global groups in real time by selecting a server  or a domain with the report results displayed in the main user interface that can be printed or exported in Microsoft Excel format.

RemoveUnknown FAQs

 

 

What is RemoveUnknown and why do I need it? 

It is nearly impossible to get an accurate picture of unknown SIDs in folders, files and shares that exist in server ACLs. When a user leaves a company or groups are removed, unknown accounts are left behind on the servers.  This poses a problem when you need an accurate report as to where these unknown accounts exist.  You would manually have to use may different tools sets to get a not so perfect report. RemoveUnknown is the first software solution of its kind to report and remove Unknown SIDs from servers.

This is one reason why we have been asked by customers to create a solution that incorporates both the Unknown SID Report and the ability to granularly remove selected unknown SIDs from server folders and shares.  RemoveUnknown allows you to create these reports and remove the unknown SIDs with one operation.

Can I run reports and remove Unknown SIDs on servers from different domains with RemoveUnknown?

Yes, RemoveUnknown can report from different domains and more.  You can add multiple domains and gather information on several systems with one operation.  You can remove Unknown SIDs from different domains and different system types with ease if you have administrative rights to the domains and servers. 

What type of servers can RemoveUnknown  Remove Unknown SIDs?

You can report and and remove unknown SIDs from Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 servers. You, as an administrator or help desk personnel can also quickly run SID to account resolution reports by server or domains.

I am about to start a server data migration. Can RemoveUnknown help?

One of the biggest challenges administrators face during a server migration is to verify that all folders, shares files and local accounts have migrated successfully.  Migration tools that come with Windows 2003 or third party migration tools can not remove unknown accounts.

What operating systems does RemoveUnknown run on?

RemoveUnknown runs on all versions Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000/2003, as well as Windows XP and Vista. 

Does RemoveUnknown require client software or agents to be installed?

Yes. RemoveUnknown accomplishes all of its functions by installing a scheduling service on each server involved in the RemoveUnknown project.

To reduce network traffic and wait times, RemoveUnknown gathers  and removes unknown SIDs locally on each server using its own internal agent and the Winzero ScheduleManager.
