Davit2005 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Remote Server tools - Users, Computers, exchange etc. All Workstation installed software so you can test serif, adobe, office files etc. The more tools readily to hand you the better . Jus make sure you always lock your machine when you leave it unattended. Also WSUS and SCCM consoles

timethrow Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 Your list is missing an Anti-Virus solution? Good Point, However it is done by RMVP5.1 on CC3 (Machine is not SmartCliented as it is Windows 7)
