System Center Essentials

Microsoft have created a new blog for System Center essentials which if I remember correctly is a new management tool that enables you to manage a bunch of servers and stuff, including ones not on your network - ideal for a consulting company to keep track of everybody's servers. Note that I got this impression from a podcast I listened to so I could be wrong but if I'm right, this will be an awesome utility - hopefully it's not too expensive.

You are correct, System Center Essentials will help you manage a bunch of computers. Check out www.microsoft.com/sce for the complete rundown.

In essence, it does monitoring, patching, software deployment, computer troubleshooting, and inventory for both servers and clients on your network. Thanks for posting about it!
