Agreed with Chris.
We have had great success with it in supporting 14 departments in
Student Services. Each of which has a shared drive (S:) pointing to
their own share folder. This is a trick that is hard to pull off with a
regular windows login script. It integrates nicely with Active
Directory and policies can be applied to Domain/OU/Group memberships
and/or by individual user account.
I have received great service when calling tech support.
If you are looking for a low cost password reset tool however, I would
recommend this product. Anixis password reset
(http://www.anixis.com/products/apr/default.htm) . It is fairly cheap,
integrates well with Active Directory and a fairly easy setup and
deployment.
Firm.

Dak, we use SL's Desktop Authority here in UR for our desktop
management. The selection of the software preceded my time here at UR,
but it's been a great product for the management of our Windows PC's and
users. Believe we've been on it for 6+ years now...
AD user accounts here at UR run a logon script composed by DA, which
does various things from displaying a logon logo, mapping drive letters,
mapping printers, launching other applications in the background, etc.
The validation logic in the software is great for fine tuning who gets
what drive letters, what printers, etc.
Additionally, the remote management portion allows us to troubleshoot
most every software issue a user has simply by remoting into their
machine. We can do certain things behind the scenes on their computer
through this interface, as well as requesting control of the respective
users computer.
I'd be happy to show you a personal demo of our DA environment here at
UR if you'd like. It makes desktop management a breeze for us, that is
for sure. /ch

Ok. Just a quick question for some of you. I was looking for a low
cost Password Reset and found Script Logic... in the process of
talking with a sales person, they brought up the ScriptLogic Desktop
Management. Alex has said that several departments on campus use it.
I'd like to hear people's opinions on the software and the service
levels from ScriptLogic.
Thanks!
