Jim - what I understand from reading forums that FEP (with SCCM 2012) does
not fare very well with reporting for Unix based OS (Mac, RHEL, etc.) and
have to use 3rd party to push SCCM agent on unix based machines unless
someone here on the list have a better experience that could explain how
it's been done?
