I've talked with folks over the years who have tried to implement Tivoli 100%. 100% doesn't seem attainable. Tivoli implementations generally last 2-4 years before they give up and find another product. There's quite a bit of development involved in getting it to work in each environment, which usually means bringing in Tivoli consultants at $250-500 per hour.
Tivoli tends to infest companies where SMS is already installed and running, so there are quite a few horror stories from SMS Admins. I'd suggest doing a search on the SMS list for 'Tivoli'. http://www.topica.com/lists/mssms/read -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Flesher Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 1:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Tivoli It's funny you ask that question. We are in the midst of figuring out what the cost will be to implement/maintain Tivoli for monitoring/software distribution/inventory. How much of an increase in staff is necessary? Completely off topic, I know. Just curious if anyone can share there success/horror stories on implementing Tivoli. What size shop, what did it cost, how much of an increase in staff?

You will probably "enjoy" managing with Tivoli's current products. I'm monitoring our entire W2k3/AD lab environment with Tivoli.
