Re: Kace K1000 System Management Appliance

I think there are a few people on here that use it. At my last place we tested it, before and after the Dell acquisition. Even got very close to buying it, but the week it was due to be signed off the company went into administration. The features were good and I had been pushing for months to g

I am using a freeware product, called "The Dude." Does the same thing as Angry IP but does have the graphical screen showing all of your devices. You can export the graphical outlay to Visio, too. drod...@gmail.com Sent via Dell Streak 7 On Aug 8, 2011 10:57 AM, "Darin" wrote: > I will look at

We have one, love it. We opted to download the VM and it was a really quick and easy install. We're just now working on integrating the help desk function. If you have any specific questions let me know - I have a minion doing most of the work on it these days. John W. Cook System Administrato

Kace K1000 System Management Appliance

Wanting to see if anyone in this group has experience with the Kace/Dell K1000 Sys Mgmt appliance. We currently use the Bigfix product for this, but since the IBM acquisition we are looking to see what else is available. After seeing a demo of Kace last week it looks promising. So has anyone

RE: IP Inventory tool

The much maligned McAfee ePO can do all sorts of stuff along these lines as well. I had to look for 2003 servers and find which were 2003 R2 and non R2. It was quicker for me to dump a McAfee which has this report than figure out how to have SMS do it. I hate the fact I can do so much with eP

Re: IP Inventory tool

I just upgraded the copy on my notebook to 2010 premium. When I checked MS listed Visio came in 3 flavors, standard, pro and premium. Do you mean premium instead of enterprise or is there a double secret enterprise version? On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 10:18 AM, Kevin Lundy wrote: > Visio Enterpris

Re: IP Inventory tool

The "original" Visio had network discovery baked in. MS removed that a version or two after they bought it and I believe that is what became the Fluke network inspector. I recently have a bigger need to do network diagramming. I recently installed Visio 2010 premium on my notebook. I don't see an

Drive mapping via login script

We use regular .BAT files here for drive mappings, but this doesn't work for group-based mappings. In my past life I have used KiXtart which I suppose can implement here easily enough (been 3 years since I really toyed with it though). I have done some testing of mapping via GPO and it seems to
