The success of SCCM would have to depend on your environment. If you're in
an environment with multiple locations that have had some level of autonomy
on hardware purchases, and imaging, and patch management, it could be a
nightmare. It seems to rely heavily on WMI. Speed is an issue too, so
It's all about your level of paranoia. Our building, for example, has had 2
roof collapses in 5 years. The 2nd one took out the sprinkler system, which

Ray - you make a good point. We're covering 13 locations across the US, with
varying WAN connectivity. Also, number of sites are the result of past
acquisitions, so there has been a high level of site autonomy. We are the
first internal IT department for the org to work toward standardization
