Thanks. Coming back to the theme of the original post - finding a suite of tools to complement Nagios to help it compete with the likes of UniCenter and Tivoli - cfEngine seems very Linux and server oriented although it does discuss using Cygwin to manage Windows servers. In my CIO/CTO positions, I have always found the challenge to be Windows desktops. To build an open source alternative to the proprietary offerings, the big missing piece has always seemed to be software distribution and PC maintenance, e.g., LANDesk, Empirum, Marimba. Has anyone found a mature such open source product and especially one with ties to Nagios? - John -- John A.
