Hi shamantao,
Thank you for your kind comments.
However the Exporter is only designed to retrieve data from remote machines, so you canimport this data into your favorite third-party reporting tool (i.e. Crystal Reports, Excel, etc..) for addition reporting, filtering, or summary options.
Unfortunately, there is no functionality within our software to import this data into another machine/domain.

Thanks for your answer.
Well maybe it will be a good idea to implement Import to your soft,because i didn't find any other tool that do it fine. And I think it will be cool in DameWare Utilities to have this option.

Hi
I agree with the previous reply. Please consider incorporating the XML schema to NT Utilities tobe able to read the reports from Explorer easier.

Hello Fodde,
Thanks for your feedback. However, I believe the original poster was speaking about transferring information from one Domain Controller to another, or one machine to another, via the Exporter. In other words, extracting the information from one machine and then importing it on another machine.
With regard to reporting on the XML files created by the Exporter, you should be able to read or report on this information using any other third-party reporting tool (Crystal Reports, Excel, etc..). Or perhaps set the output type to CSV instead of XML, which can also be read by Excel as well.

Okay,
So what you are triing to say is that it is not possible to export from Dameware and import it on an AD installation on an other domain.
What if i have to move the server and re-installing it with AD instead of Dameware. How can i get the users from Dameware into AD without any handshake or connection between the servers.
Thanks

Hi Willio,
This specific topic is in reference to the Exporter, and the Exporter simply retrieves information from remote machines, so that you can pass this information off to any third-party reporting tool.
If you want to attempt to import this information (into AD) on another machine, you would haveto use some other third-party tool to accomplish this task. Our software does not have the ability to import information (contained in TXT, CSV, XML, etc.) into AD.
I hope this helps.

Hi Willio,
There is no importing into the DameWare Exporter. Both the Exporter and DNTU dynamically retrieve information from remote machines.
The only things to potentially import into DNTU would be your list of Favorite machines, or your AD Site List.
Hope this helps.
