JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

 We have pieced together our own set of tools and it works great so far. Not exactly an all in one package but worth looking at some of these if you want to further reduce costs and manage more of it yourself:

Network monitoring: Open NMS http://www.opennms.org Cacti http://www.cacti.net/

Remote assistance: Teamviewer http://www.teamviewer.com browser based http://join.me

Patch management: VMware Go (Previously Shavlik Patching) http://go.vmware.com/

We run no antivirus for any of our 1000+ users. Admin rights are removed from every user, and we perform all software installs ourselves. Users cannot get into trouble if they cannot make changes to the C:\ All user files, folders, and profiles are kept on file servers.
