Switching from Altiris 6.9 to SCCM 2012
Hi:
Right now at work we use Altiris 6.9 sp4. We are looking at Sccm 2012 and Altiris 7.1 to see which one would be a better fit for us. They both would require us to make some changes to the way that we do thing now. So we thought it would be a good time to evaluate both products, for us the cost to move to one or the other would be about the same.
We have a few questions from looking at SCCM 2012 that I need to find answers for.
1. Is there an easy way to do a simple file copy . we need to copy kix files out to the workstation
2. Is there an easy way to find out information for a workstation , hardware,and installed software? Right now we can double click on the computer and it pulls up the inventory for that computer.
3. We need to be able to rename computer as we reasign them to different classrooms?
Right now we right click on the computer and goto configuire, fill in the form an let it go.
Thanks
Steve

We have been with Altiris for over 8 yrs. We still have problems with things saying they ran when they didn't. My favorite one is try and do something today and it won't work, try the samething in the morning and it works for no appearant reason, nothing was changed,no server reboots. For some reason after the last few updates we have had to start rebooting the server on a more often to get jobs to run. One thing that drives me nuts with altiris is that I can have 3 matching computers and 1 will finsih, one will fail on step 3, and the last one will fail on step 6 when it did complete step 6. It just reported back that it failed. We have spent many an hour on the phone with support , " should be fixed in the next update, or they have no idea"
We have just started to say that's altiris
