Agreed. In this regard Netwrix has been better than most, I've been using this free app for over a year and don't recall getting any calls. Emails are easy enough to unsubscribe/filter. Dave I hate these free apps that require I register and provide contact information. They always lead to

Dave, Thanks for the post - I used the link and can see that there is a load of 'stuff' they can do (for me?) - I would have called them on the 1-949-407-5125 number, but have you any idea of the charges for international calls. Or, did you not mean to include the link at the end of the message?

Hi Susan--just got home--I'll check a couple of things and post back. There could be a difference in software, but not very likely--the one big thing that I mentioned was that one server that didn't BSOD also didn't get the KB2975719 installed at the same time with the rest of the updates
