It's sort of ironic really - we have all this high-end stuff - meaning SMS/SCCM, the microsoft tools for pushing software, gathering information/inventory, etc.
HOWEVER, when the boss wants something to go out, go out quickly, and reliably they come to me - and I use SEPM to get the information, toss it into excel, manipulate, sort, extract, whatever, then create text files.
I then create the packages for whatever I need to do, be it run scripts, change the registry, or install or remove software using Symantec Packager from years ago when it came with pcAnywhere and SAV, and point Pacakger to the lists I got from SEPM.
In short order, I have things modified or installed, all using simple Symantec tools! LOL - I started using SAV's info years ago and have continued with SEPM because it's a great way to get current computer info, including network info and IP addresses - no computer exists here that doesn't run SEP (because it's on the images) so it's pretty accurate at least here.
I wonder if anyone there ever dreampt of how else their products and their features would be handy or could be used.
Long live Packager and thank you Symantec for all this GREAT INFO SAV, and now SEPM give us!! You've put me into "hero" status here more than once ;-) They think I can work miracles now! LOL
