We are sort of using it here, by which I mean we set it up, rolled out the dell client, pushed out bios settings, left it after that.
it's running in a VM, slower than an elephant in a tarpit. Mightn't help that we installed the altiris suite on top of it, but it was slow before that. It's a bit messed up in places for filters and such, there is no such thing as "exclude these pcs", instead it's "include pcs not in" or some such rubbish, cant remember off hand the actual text. Personally, I don't like it, too much jumping around to do things. good for pushing out bios settings and forcing shutdowns at specified times tho :) Couldn't get wake on lan working correctly, but that me be a network issue on our side. Came across the Dell Client Configuration Utility, which lets you create a deployable executable to roll out bios settings. All depends on what you want to do with it.
