Entrigue Systems announced the availability of Script Start Professional v2.0.  

Users can now access a free 30-day evaluation of Script Start Professional at www.scriptstart.com.

The new version adds enterprise level features to the popular user profile management solution. Enhancements include a new architecture with the ScriptConsole running locally, providing faster, easier to manage access as compared to the web hosted model that Entrigue had used in previous versions. 

Additional new enterprise features include backup and restore of configurations, hardware and software inventory with detailed reporting, the ability to upgrade to future versions, software assurance for one year, access to tier one and two support, and priority updates.  

The release of Script Start Professional v2.0 has been anticipated by Entrigue’s users and channel partners since the company released similar features to Open Source as Script Start Community v2.0 last quarter.  In that short time, Script Start has been downloaded by hundreds of organizations and is now managing user profile settings on more than 50,000 Windows desktops worldwide.  Many of those organizations have expressed an interest in the enterprise features in Script Start Professional and several have pre-purchased the solution. 

“Script Start Pro v2.0 is the culmination of several enhancements and features that make the solution even more ideal for enterprise level organizations looking to seamlessly manage their virtual and physical desktops.” said Jason E. Smith, VP of Business Development for Entrigue Systems.  “The installation of Script Start Professional is now very intuitive, allowing users to get up and running in a matter of minutes to automate Windows desktop configuration processes that lower costs of ownership from day one.”

Script Start Professional enables administrators to manage, configure, and provision settings on Windows desktops, including Citrix XenDesktop and VMware VDI virtual machines.  The solution enables administrators to map drives, install printers, configure Outlook and MAPI profiles, modify environment variables, adjust Internet proxy settings, configure RDP connections, publish applications via RDP, automatically customize client machines, and more. Virtually all popular server environments are supported including Windows, Linux, Red Hat Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Mac, and Solaris.
