<p class=MsoNormal>We are considering updating our Altiris Desktop Deployment
solution and wondering what other similar type solutions are out there.
The newest solution from Altiris/Symantec is this: <a
href="http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/overview-altiris-deployment-solution-71">http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/overview-altiris-deployment-solution-71</a>.
Before trying Altiris’ newest solution we would like to find out what
others are using.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We want to be able to create PC hard drive images (hardware
independent); remote to computers, sharing desktops to offer IT support; and
push out software updates—preferably all from the same management console.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are in a Windows environment (about 190 staff &
public PCs) with server 2008 R1 at our Main Library and server 2003 R2 at four
branches.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you are using some sort of computer management software that
you think you could not live without and have any suggestions for us besides
Symantec’s Altiris, I will appreciate hearing your suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you!<o:p></o:p></p>
