We will have a toolkit available for client health tools. They mainly show
the status of your current clients to show if they are healthy or not.
I have not seent eh script they are using. We have alos gone away from logon
points and we now use capinst for client installations. This has removed a
lot of the issues with shared logon points and mixed versions. Capinst will
allow you to still install 2.0 clients if you need for older OS Systems.
