Use our server comparison tool XIA Configuration to compare Windows and Unix servers. Either compare the current setup of a server to previous versions or compare two different servers.
The following video demonstrates how to use XIA Configuration to see changes made to a server:

Compare Windows servers
In this example, the current configuration of a Windows server is compared to a previous version to see what has changed.
To demonstrate this, firstly, the World Wide Web Publishing service is disabled in the services management console:
World Wide Web Publishing service disabled
Then an ODBC data source server name is changed:
ODBC data source server name changed
Once the Windows server has been scanned again by the XIA Configuration Client, it is compared with a previous version:
