Anyone try this Dell KACE appliance? It's an all-in-one inventory/imaging/deployment/etc/etc appliance. My boss has a hard-on for it and wants one, but in my experience these things never work as well as you'd want or require a dedicated admin to keep working properly.

http://www.kace.com/

Went to a few of the KACE seminars here in the UK a few months ago and played about with a test of the K1000.

You've got 2 different boxes here:

K1000: Does the management/audit/monitoring stuff.
K2000: Does the application/image deployment and sandboxing.

Depends what you're going to be using them for mainly. They're pretty solid, but if you want to do complicated stuff with them it requires a lot of scripting and messing around.

Appdeploy.com is where to go to get a good overview on what these things can and can't do.
