Boulder, CO \u2013 March 12, 2014 \u2013 JumpCloud<\/span>\u00ae<\/span>, the first Directory-as-a-Service<\/span>\u00ae <\/span>platform, today announced<\/span> that its best-in-class user management functionality is now available for the Windows\u00ae server platform. JumpCloud\u2019s automated server management solution provides user management, patch management, security, and compliance capabilities for cloud, virtual, and\/or on-premises servers. With the addition of Windows support, DevOps and IT admins can now manage all of their users across all types of servers from one platform.<\/p>\n JumpCloud now supports Windows 2008 and 2012 Server and Windows 7 and 8 through its user management functionality. Key functionality in its Linux version is now available for Windows including management of users, creation of server and user groups, password and key rotation, and enforcement of password complexity. JumpCloud seamlessly integrates into the Windows login flow and does not add steps or change the process.<\/p>\n JumpCloud\u2019s user management process includes not only managing users, but ensuring that only the right people are accessing the system. JumpCloud alerts on first time access and access from different locations. JumpCloud also tracks brute force attempts against the Windows device to allow IT admins to ensure that devices have not been compromised. JumpCloud\u2019s user management functionality ensures that the right people have the right access to your Linux and Windows servers.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have both Linux and Windows servers at AWS. We don\u2019t have AD and I\u2019ve been there done that with LDAP. Managing users across different platforms in the cloud is a pain,\u201d said Ben Good, Director of Operations, Clip Interactive. \u201cJumpCloud\u2019s cross-platform solution is incredible. We have one console to manage privileged access to both Linux and Windows servers. The same process, control, and security across both \u2013 now that\u2019s elegant.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWindows support has been one of our most popular requests.
