That's a major bummer. I've found it's more expensive than Microsoft's CM (who can match Microsoft's great non-profit/charity pricing anyway?), but the savings is more than made up for it in man-hours. If it's not too late, I can send you e-mails from KBOX customers that responded to my inquiries before my purchase. Let me know off-line.

>>> tony patton <[email protected]> 5/24/2010 5:34 AM >>> Just received word on Friday that we will not be getting the kbox. Not a happy camper. They had even dropped down to more or less half price. But the IT manager still wouldn't sign off on it. Just 1 more reason to take the redundancy and get out of here.

I purchased a KBOX a few weeks ago; it is replacing Microsoft Configuration Manager here. Yes, you can customize installs. Just use your install builder/packager like you would otherwise. Or you can use scripting for that. It's very easy to use. I like patching, too. It includes MS updates, Abode updates, and some A/V vendor updates. Now that Dell owns it I expect Dell to put some serious $$$ dollars into it, and it will just get better.

Can you customise software installs? In particular, I'd like to customise FF and Adobe Reader installs - turn of javascript in Reader, and add in NTLM auth and a few other things that we do manually here with FF.
