We use Orion here too. Our Cisco guys use and love it, but it doesn't give me the granularity I wanted into my Windows systems. Not to mention that SCE is less than half the price of Orion and it does some very nice Cisco device monitoring with one of the 3rd party tools you can add on.

I was really interested in what I saw with SCE, but the management decided to go with Orion from Solarwinds for the network monitoring tool. Ah well, not like I'm going to be using it or anything...ahhh, wait a minute! (But seriously, what Orion does seems like an ok fit for what we wanted...)

Glad it worked for you...and thanks, I was happy with the way it turned out. I was a bit concerned going in since Redmond tends to run a fairly anti-Microsoft slant to most of their articles...and I do LOVE SCE. Great product for those of us poor fools in the mid-market.

Thanks TVK :) By the way, I saw you in Redmond magazine...nice article.

Have you checked the properties on the file and Unblocked it if necessary. If it was moved from another file server the security could be getting you.

From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Installing an .msp? How do you run this? I tried double-clicking it and it told me access denied. I'm logged into the server as a domain admin account, which has local admin rights as well. This may be a silly question to some, but I've never worked with an .msp file before. All Citrix hotfixes and updates are sent as MSP files. I have never had any issues installing them. Just download the file and double-click it. When I double-click My Computer, Tools Folder Options, File Types and scroll down to MSP, my MSP is listed as a Microsoft Installer Patch associated with Windows Installer. What is yours set to?
