NTDOC,
I'm always looking for ideas.. Seeing different methods of doing things always helps me fine tune the solution for my organization. I also like sharing my own ideas in hopes that someone might find them useful.

I think that most of us encounter the same issues, so it's nice to see multiple solutions to the same problem. As we accumulate information here, it may be possible to pull it all together and create some sort of books titled:

KIXtart for Dummies
From Batch to KIX
...
These could have chapters on deploying software, software inventory, and PC management to start with....

I have been deploying Antivirus software through the logon script for 4 years, so I'm bound to have seen some of the same problems other users have seen. The "canned" methods from NAI don't always work as intended in every situation, so it takes a bit of time and effort to script installations and updates.
