Ninite. We make life easier for novice admin-enikeyschiku
Hi Habr!
I hasten to share with you the recently discovered site - Ninite.com . It's amazing how little he is known, while offering simply unreal convenience and making life easier for novice admin-enikeyschikam, whose responsibilities include "rearrange Windows" in small firms with 10-40 jobs under Windows. Where, for some mysterious reasons, AD is not worth it, the activity is organized in a working group, it is not enough to organize everything in its own strength and knowledge - in general, everything is sad, but I want to do it beautifully. And yet, Linux-lovers and experienced admins may also find this service interesting.
Their list is constantly updated, and the presence of the program in the Ninite list is a sign of quality and popularity. So for one you can discover useful and cool tools and utilities. This function is free, registration is not required, programs download quickly, installation is absolutely without any user intervention in silent mode. I ticked, downloaded .exe, launched - and go about your business. A large amount of free time is released for, for example, transferring files from the “old Windows” if the task was to reinstall the “killed” Windows on the user's computer.
Although why only Windows? There is a version for Linux-systems, with a more modest set of applications:
Many people are used to installing applications from repositories, of course, but for some, the Ninite-method will be attractive for its simplicity and convenience.
')
Ninite will not reinstall the program if a newer or the latest version is installed. Even the installer will not download. The program also determines the type of system (x86 / x64) and pumps the most appropriate version. The language of applications will coincide with the language of the system - no incomprehensible English Skype on your grandmother's computer!
But the buzz is that by running the same received .exe file in a week, we will update all selected applications to the latest versions (if there are any, of course). SUPER AWESOME, RIGHT?
Trial without limitation of functionality lasts a week. The cost of the software is very, very liberal:
Ninite Pro has a lot of chips and they are nice. This is the absence of the need to install the client on users' computers, and distribution of one distribution to all machines on LAN (download the new version 1 time, distribute on the LAN to 1000 machines), and no inconvenience to users - completely silent installation without annoying updates notifications, and automatic detection of already installed versions of programs, the ability to make offline-pack installers, and an expanded set of supported applications, and the possibility of easy auditing, and integration with popular remote monitoring services Toring and management , and additional application control functions:
Get a list of devices for remote management Ninite can either simply from the working group, and AD.
Prices - per year of using the service:
It is convenient to install such a thing on a computer of an illiterate user, thereby securing it from downloading the distribution kit on the left site. The service hooks up all installed compatible programs automatically, updates them without notifications, clicks on Next, etc.
If you also, like me, are happy to open - share a link to the site (or this post) with friends and colleagues. I think the service deserves much more attention!

Functional
Let's see what this site offers us. It was founded by Patrick Swieskowski and Sascha Kuzins . I’ll say right away that experienced administrators with a bunch of scripts for software distribution via AD may not be wildly excited by this site, but there are a couple of (paid!) Features for them. And yes, there are both free and paid features - first things first!Free: batch software installation
The site generates an .exe file that automatically, silently, without any toolbars and changes to home pages, without adware and viruses, installs the freshest versions of check-marked programs:Their list is constantly updated, and the presence of the program in the Ninite list is a sign of quality and popularity.
