Comment ZEN really works for Desktops (Score 1) 256
Jeez, I check /. every day but I read more about Lego's than Novell.
I have to chime in here and say that ZENworks for desktops is one killer app for the Windows world I (and you, admit it) work in.
SnAppShot is in SYS:Public for all your {Windows} software installation troubleshooting needs.
I just finished my graveyard shift of a 48 hour push of a GIG to 450 NT desktops. Try that with SMS or Landesk. The server was coasting at 10% as we ran 10 workstations at a time. (scheduled last week) We were somewhat constricted by what ZENworks 2 has, (eg. the WS has to reboot to pick up a schedule..sux.., we had to make 45 app objects for 45 schedules...) but heck if we didn't hit over 90% anyway, thanks to Zen Remote management and reporting. ALL DONE FROM WITHIN NWADMN32. Bring on ZWFD3, and long live Novell.
