Hi all,
Our LA has been using Centrastage for well over a year now and like the others who have posted before me, the Remote Control features are only the tip of the iceberg really.
Our SIMS support team have used it for various rollouts from a basic file copy to many sites to full blown updates.
I do curriculum support for primary schools and have been using it in part to deploy msi installations (as part of the command you can run the msi package plus any mst files you may require for a totally silent install) Sometimes AD MSI deployment still has its uses but if you can script it, then centrastage should be able to run it.
At some of my schools we shut all the PCs down on a daily basis at 20h00 as the Components you create can be scheduled.
Last time I heard, there was work being done to enable Wake On Lan functionality but that could take a while to get sorted.
When we first started using Centrastage, we had existing remote access solutions in place so we could create AD Login scripts to install the remote agent without visiting the site. Then one of the first things we used Centrastage for was to enable RDP access on the workstations and to uninstall the VNC client.
Cheers
Bry
