I agree that the SMS and the SUS feature pack are a powerful combination. However, we are looking to also have remote imaging capabilities for Laptops, Desktops and Tablet PCs. Ideally we would want all these features on a single secure console. Z.G -----Original Message----- From: Depp, Dennis M.

All windows or a mix of Windows, Mac and Unix? If all Windows clients, I think SMS with the SUS feature pack wins over Altiris hands down. If you are running a mix, SMS is still a possibility, but you will need to purchase some add on tools from Altiris to finis the task.
