ARD Database Access Manager

Gain access to your ARD 3 PostgreSQL database using PHP!

ADAM permits localhost access to your ARD database via TCP/IP sockets. Why would you want to do this? By permitting localhost access via TCP/IP sockets, PHP scripts on the same machine can access the information in the database. This allows you to write customized PHP scripts that query the database and present the data in a variety of formats. For example, you could write a PHP script that reports on all of the information contained within the database about a particular computer. Or you could write a script that provides summary information about all of the machines within your organization. More interestingly, you can retrieve information from the database to be used in a post-action script to NetRestore to set the computer name, IP address, DNS information, etc.
