RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Management Solutions

[Brian Desmond]

I have a lot of experience using Ghost for all of that but helpdesk. Helpdesk I have worked with Peregrine (will empty your check book & very complex), TrackIt (kind of basic but folks seem to like it), and customized free open source package called Liberum (so far my favorite).   Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED]   c - 312.731.3132   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan J. Gendron Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 3:16 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Management Solutions   I would love some feedback from those that actually use some of these products.  We initially started looking at a Helpdesk solution.  It has now evolved into an asset management, OS deployment, patch management and license compliance package.  I can’t tell you whether it’s evolved to this because the package we are looking at has it or because it was decided we could use the additional functionality.  The current front-runner is Altiris.  Could anyone provide some helpful insight into this package or a comparable solution we could look at?  If we’re going to spend the money, I’d like to see us spend it wisely.  Thank you in advance.   Alan Alan J.
