You can set up SMS to either ask for permission, or just take over the desktop, it's a configuration thing. In a classroom we once had it set up not to ask for permission, and you can just go and control the PC, nothing on the screen states that you are in control.

Last question. Let's say I've got my SMS server setup, do my 95/98 clients run the SMS setup through a logon script which sets them up automatically or do I deploy it manually ? -----Original Message----- From: John Matteson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 October 2001 17:23 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: OFF TOPIC : Alternates to SMS and Intel LANDesk Yes, but only if the user at the desk gives permission to do so.

WWW.Microsoft.com/mom It should be able to help you with Asset management, Configuration management.
