A few things.

1), FYI there UK SMS user groups http://smsug.co.uk/default.aspx and this
one http://wmug.co.uk/
2) www.FAQShop.com is run by a Cliff who is from the UK and a SMS MVP, check
it out.
3) The next best thing to MMS is ITForum in Spain????? (I think that is
where it is, I have never been)

Just asked the boss and she said sounded like a good idea, until I told
her
it was in San Diego. No chance as I am in Liverpool, England!

Judging by the agenda it looks pretty good though.

Thanks Garth

The force run aspect will move us one step closer to putting our
ZENworks
server in a ditch and throwing petrol on it ;-)

Many thanks again.

Will making the advertisements mandatory cause the program to run
forcibly
whether the user want it or not?

Within SMS you can force the install of an application by making
advertisement mandatory.

If you have SMS then I would only use SMS to deploy applications
and
not
AD.
There are many white paper on why SMS is better than AD.

Hi

I am fairly new to AD and SMS as I have primarily worked with
Novell
and
used ZENWorks for app deployment.

I have so far succesfully migrated my apps over to SMS and they
work
as
I
hoped they would. At the moment I use ZENWorks to pass changes
(reg
fixes,
file rights re-assignment etc) to workstations. I can do that
via
Active
Directory Group Policy, but we also use ZEN to install apps when
users
log
in
(forced install of apps).

How do I achieve this in SMS?

Do I use SMS to install these apps on user login/machine boot, or
do
I
use
the Group Policy Computer Configuration > Software Settings >
Software
installation to install apps on boot?

Which is the best option for me to use.

Thanks in advance.

James
