Everybody on this thread so far has talked sense, but then that's not surprising given that the nature of posters is bent towards a techie point of view. My main problem with this court ruling is that any tech savvy interpreter would clearly be able to see that this is neither a solution to piracy nor a benefit to the plaintiff. However the judge wasn't able to see this as they're expected to be a 'jack of all trades'. Maybe the judicial system needs reviweing when it comes to cases that deal with new technology (and let's face it, anything connected with that t'internet thingy is still relatively new to most ancient judges) be reviewed and judged by somebody with a thorough understanding of the technical details. To use a real world analogy, this is the same as saying Alan, who lives at the end of the street, knows a guy called Bob, who can get you some high quality knock off gear, and Alan is quite happy to tell you where Bob lives. This ruling is the same as telling the highways agency to close off the part of the street leading to Alan's house. It sets a dangerous precedent of impeding Alan's daily activity, stopping his mates or his gran coming round who just want a cuppa, and if Alan's neighbour, Charlie, also knows where Bob lives, he could also end up being fenced in. Sorry, bit of a long winded analogy, but it just smacks of ridiculous judiciary madness.

Two that I know of - Impero and Netsupport Assist. Impero integrates Mac & PC in the one product, whereas Netsupport School & Netsupport Assist are two distinct products (not sure of the interoperability between them.

It would be nice if the administrators bothered to put up an official post on the A2Z website, but I can say for sure that all of the staff have been made redundant from senior management down to individual account managers. I personally know most of them and have been following their progress for some time now. You will probably receive calls from the acc mans as they have quickly moved on to new companies. I feel sorry for the non-sales staff though who may struggle to move so quickly into new jobs. There were some good people there and I wish them all the very best.

Sounds in the right region. I know it works on an RM network so I would suggest downloading it and having a play. One of the Impero salesguys will probably follow it up, so be sure to mention Edugeek!

Depends which version of Impero you're running. Version 3 includes an MSI deployment tool allowing you to distribute apps to PCs en masse. And it includes Print Management through a quota/credit system. So probably worth looking at.

Would need a little further clarification on the Impero version you're using; v2 was UDP but v3 is TCP based, and as long as the clients have the correct serverip.txt configured they should be able to see the server regardless of wireless configuration. I can get the guys at Impero to get in touch next week if this is still an issue.
