How to support many BESR computers from central console

I am trying to use the Trialware and figure out how to 'rollout' BESR 2010.  I did find out how to do it in V8.5 but then while I was testing that, Symantec released V2010.  It apears that 2010 comes with Altaris's Management Console.

Now that I have the Management console installed, what do I do to rollout BESR?

Thanks

It's a 3-step process: 1.

It's a 3-step process:

1. Push out the altiris agent
2. Push out the BESR-plugin for the altiris agent
3. Push out the BESR client

I would recommend that you refer to the admin guide for more information on the exact steps:

Considering I've never used

Considering I've never used Altiris before, this is not as straight forward as your posts suggests.

I will look over the link you sent and post with progress.

I do have to say that this seems to be way harder than it needs to be.

 I don't even use the Altiris

 I don't even use the Altiris console at all, just use the built in BESR Server manager. Works great as BESR 8.5 did, and it supports the newer OS so I don't have to toss something on a 03 x32 machine. Really digging it so far!
