Most of the clients are just old PCs running windows legacy fundamentals. Yes, we have a vcenter box, which is just a virtual machine with the mgmt goodies loaded on it. All of the desktops are scattered across various offices connected through VPNs.

Are you using vcenter to deploy updates and patches to the View desktops? All 400 desktops are on a LAN or do you have some connecting via WAN?

So far we’re very pleased with it, running about 400 desktops now. It sure makes doing updates and patches and whole lot easier and faster. We can re-deploy all of the desktops in just a few hours.

I have identified three: Citrix, VM View and Symantec's Corporate Workspace product (used to be Nuvision until it was bought out by Symantec). I am familiar with Citrix and spent a day at a conference on VM, but I have no knowledge (other than what the salesperson showed us) of CWS. Has anybody done any work with the Symantec product? The price is good compared to the other two but we have never purchased an product based on price alone. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin This email and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
