What do you mean by that? How does that limit your implementation?

We can't push anything and live monitoring is out, so paying for a full system management solution is rather pointless. We can't mandate a manufacturer or model of equipment either, though we can create disincentives to the purchase of "unsupported" hardware.

Oddly enough, when I explain what can be done with something like a full management solution to profs, they generally think it's a good idea.

My problem is shittier I have a great systems management tool http://www.kaseya.com/
Win XP is at End of life for OEM sales. I've been buying downgrades with my dell's since 7 came out now dell won't do it. I'm entitled to the downgrade I just have to sweat it and make sure everthing works with XP after I get the hardware

Funny how PSU is the exact opposite as that. ITS runs the show.
