Re: Still trying to decide - Implementing a PM system

Rich, I don't code, script and honestly most days I don't do much more 
at a command prompt other than ipconfig/all and what not.  Hfnetchkpro 
is "Blondeproof" and wonderful for the auditor in me.

Scan the LAN, see it needs patches, click to push out, hear a chorus of 
Windows start up songs as the LAN reboots [not all at the same time mind 
you as it goes and pushes down the tree, there's a natural stagger 
effect].   Rescan to ensure that the patch "took".  Done.

I bought hfnetchkpro and have had it on maintenance BECAUSE I know about 
the power of scripting but honestly don't have the time to learn it.  It 
does the scripting for you.
