To add my 2 cents, (and in no way am I scriptlogic bashing), The gui frontend is very convenienet and makes building a coded script very simple.
Its turnkey features work well, and manage itself very well, I've never heard of anyone with compaints about that.
The ONLY feature that I find Scriptlogic lacking, is having a programmer's brain inside the package ![[Big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif)
There are sometimes issues that only a knowledgable and experienced programmer/administrator can code around. (I don't claim to be any of the above)
That being said, Scriptlogic has most of the features that most networks will require, and has some functions that go beyond what some programmers/administrators would need.
The question is would the gui interface help the administrators that are afraid of command-line or manual coding. Just because it is GUI doesn't mean it is bad or lazy. you can use SQL language to restore a blown DB, but Enterprise Manager makes it a lot easier...
Personally, i'd say that if they are afraid of the command-line, they wouldn't be good admins to begin with, they are probably afraid of the registry also. In which case you NEED a tool like Scriptlogic to be the administrator/programmer for you.
Perhaps, after some more exposure to it and a few cases where SL doesn't handle the exact customizations you may require, they may decide to get their feet wet.
So what costs more, ScriptLogic licenses or a decent network administrator
