Indeed - over-kill I would agree with it! However I am just following instructions as per what I apparently need to do... I've looked at BCX, however it is too expensive.. I have however, believe it or not - sent an email to both BCX and RM explaining my query and to see if they would ever do an instance where they would sell a licence for a home network user.. 99 percent chance they will say no / providng me with a severly expensive quote.. but it's worth a shot. Does anybody else have any alternative suggestions?

Pretty much a network management solution similar to RM CC3/4, where the following is pre-set and can also be customised - such as: - Group Policy (folder re-direction, home drive, permission settings) - Printer Credits - User Management Software - easy-to-use - User Type Indicators - Package Installers - or an easier to system that Windows default - Deployment Services - Pre-Set Exchange - Custom Login Visual and Script Now I know this can be done perfectly fine in a vanilla network, but the graphical interface, program set up and pre-set protocals in RM CC3/4 make it far more managable to me and easier to run. Pretty much what RM CC3/4 have pre-done in a pre-made server / domain alignment - is what I want.. Unless someone wants some extra cash and can implement all of this in a vanilla network, then I would want an alternative to RM CC3/4.

Hi All, Hope all is well. First of all I would like to make this clear that I am not a I.C.T Network Manager in a school or anything like that, but pretty much an amatuer. I have quite a large network in the home sense - I have 9 P.C's, 3 Laptops, and 3 Tablets, etc, etc - and I was thinking back to the days when I was in school (I'm 24, so not that long ago) when we had RM CC3. Now the software had plenty of bugs in it, but I was made an administrator in the system because I helped them out from time to time and I really loved the end-to-end and ease of network management that the overall package brought. Due to this being for a home server, but for a large family - my actual family have asked me to bring in a similar - verbally - which sounds something similar to what RM CC3/4 does. However, I am not a school - nor do I have an education budget / large finances - and RM isn't able to be purchased for home use - so I am curious if anyone knows any alternatives to RM CC3/4 that is close to or on par with what it does? Preferably on the free side, or relatively manageable in terms of cost (aka - not thousands of pounds). Does anybody know what that may be? Equally so - if anyone would like to work on a project with me on this implementing this, I will happily fork out some money as a thanks - providing you are happy to give support - etc. As my I.T skills are not to the levels of yourselves. Many thanks in advance! Cory.

Agreed, very good service I have with them.
