I could see that many Altiris Operators always open NS Console first, which is not always needed. 
You can launch Resource Manager directly when you seek for particular computer using such link:
http://<SERVER>/Altiris/Resource/ResourceManagerConsole.aspx
where <SERVER> stands for FQDN or IP Address of your Notification Server.

In Find Resource dialog specify as many details as you can an all computers matching your criteria will be listed:

Click on selected computer to open Resource Manager, and work with details you look for.

The same way you can search for Users...

With the current large disks it is a huge task if you need to find something. I found a very cool tool that really helps.

"Everything" is an administrative tool that locates files and folders by filename instantly for Windows.
Unlike Windows search "Everything" initially displays every file and folder on your computer (hence the name "Everything").
You type in a search filter to limit what files and folders are displayed.

"Everything" only uses file and folder names and generally takes a few seconds to build it's database.
A fresh install of Windows XP SP2 (about 20,000 files) will take about 1 second to index.
1,000,000 files will take about 1 minute.
 

Best of all, It is freeware. If you use it in a professional environment and you like it, you could consider a donation to the developer.

In the August 2009 timeframe, a document was posted to help educate IT administrators on the most secure use of Intel vPro technology-based desktops and laptops.   The document provides greater insights to the technology, platform architecture, services provided, security recommendations, and so forth.   The document was written from a platform technology viewpoint, thus direct correlations or insights to deployment in a Symantec environment were not provided.

The document is over 60pages long and about 29.5MB in size.   The material was original posted as a reference for security focused administrators.

The material is available at http://www.vproexpert.com/MC334/security-configuration-checklist-rev2.zip

If specific questions about how to implement the security features using a Symantec\Altiris environment - items posted in this community...

 For the last many months, we've been looking into reports of Dell Optiplex 755 computers spontaneously rebooting. The reboots are random, and we've never found a way to force the behavior on demand. In parallel we've had another issue of the 755s hanging on login with a specific image. The image is hardware independent, and only hangs (although not reproducibly) on the 755s.

Because of the reproducibility issue, its been a long road to troubleshoot. We have a test network, and the problems have not manifested there. What we've found is,

• For the computer hangs on login we've discovered the problem vanishes if the Intel disk controller is configured from AHCI to 'Legacy IDE'
• If we disconnect the DVD drive with the controller in AHCI mode the issue vanishes

So, degrading the controller to 'Legacy IDE' seemed to be good resolution/workaround at least for the hanging issue, so we were going to proceed by...
