Lee Anne, We are a Novell shop from way back. Currently running NetWare 5.1 and have global projects starting up for the implementation of e-Directory. We have been rolling out Zen in certain regions for a few months now and the users, tech support guys, HelpDesk, and management are ecstatic. We now have the ability to 'lock down' certain functions on the desktops and laptops - users cannot change their environment, cannot alter IE settings, cannot load programs, cannot run 'admin' type programs, or change settings (like comms). We now have an integrated 'PCAnywhere-type' remote control of all units, inventory is a breeze, and rolling out new software, updates, patches is a fully automated process, and all pushed software is 'self healing'. We now just format a HD, 'ghost' a base image (determined by hardware type), and Zen does the rest - installs all software that the user is entitled to. Zen for Desktops is great. Zen for Servers will be piloted by us later this year - total administrative control of servers no matter what platform they run!! Centralised management at it's finest. And a fresh rumor from Brainshare yesterday - e-Directory will be running on Linux within a few months! Hope this helps in your decision making. Regards, Stavros "Hart, Lee Anne" <lhart () mc cc md.
