Re: Server Managament

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

If 60-70% of the machines could not be contacted by SCE, what makes you think another product will have better success? Or to put it another way, what makes you think SCE is to blame as opposed to a configuration error on those system that is preventing them from reporting back and would likely prevent other tools from working as well?

I would suggest you explore your firewall settings and verify that WMI is reachable on the machines that aren't reporting back.

We already have System Central Essentials but it seems to be useless. The same can be with Operation Menager, maybe eaven more complicated.
Very slow on new server, not all clients can be contacted, little good documentation. Very complicated interface and not so easy to find what you want.
We need something easy out of the box. I am one system administrator working with 25 servers and 500 clients machines. I do not have time to spent learning one software for weeks.
The biggest problem with SCE is that only 60-70% machines could be contacted.
