I know finalbuilder was designed for software build/test/release but it seems capable of running scripts to remotely manage servers as well. Just wondering if anyone has done this or don’t recommend doing this for any reason. One example I’m trying to do is create a finalbuilder project that calls different scripts to image a server and configure it once it comes online. Thanks

Hi David
It’s not really designed to do that, but people do use FinalBuilder for all sorts of tasks. That’s why we created Automise, which is based on FinalBuilder but removes the dev related actions (like version control, compilers etc) and adds other windows admin actions (like active directory etc).

Thanks, Automise is exactly what we’re looking for
