Hi all,
Thanks for the reply's, looks very interresting i will catch up on these
shortly. I will let you know how i solve the case.
BTW.
Today i had a look at the IT facilities at the school, and it turned out
that they have 2 old Netware 4.11 servers running, that i have to
migrate and replace.
They also run an older version of ZenWorks for application an policy
distribution.
So now i am also looking for a replacement for the applicataion
distribution as well. Thats probably not that easy.
Best regards
