I am not sure, but I believe that you cannot run / use UPH cleaner with Steady State either...

They suggested instead to do some of the same things SteadyState does with group policies. I wish I could find that article because it detailed those group policies, but I do not have time right now.

It worked as advertised, but I didn't like the fact that there was no Management Console. Each machine had to be "unfrozen" manually to apply updates, patches, etc. Maybe they have improved it since this was a couple of years ago. If it had a Management Console to unfreeze all computers in one shot, then it would definitely be worth the money!! I guess it depends on how often you want to patch and update your computers. It is a great way to make them oblivious to any changes made during a day. One reboot and all is well again.

Works with XP. It's free so I'm wondering if that's still to high of a price! George
