All,
This is more of a recommendation than a question. If you are still trying to get SMS or other to work on your network, stop! My firm is co-developing something we call SiteManager. Security patching is the tip of the iceberg and it will blow your socks off. Definitely check out www.kaseya.com and feel free to drop me a note with any questions you might have.
I will check post for comments and respond as I can. I am beginning a blog on IT in businesses at spaces.msn.com/members/chadgniffke as well in hopes to spark some more thought on this issue.
May we all get our lives back someday!
