Novell Zenworks 6.5 Vs. SMS 2003 packaging & Distribution


Without a doubt the Novell Product is better.


1. It is more than just Active Directory aware--it will actually extend the schema and work directly within the AD LDAP tree.
2. It is cross platform capable, existing on an LDAP tree, and supporting linux, Microsoft, and Unix desktops.
3. It has true Lights-out-distribution capability
4. It uses either proprietary reporting protocals, or you can use smtp traps.
5. It works more seemlessly with Microsoft's own .msi packaging technology and supports Wise packaging studio.
6. It doesn't require any Novell software otuside of Zenworks to run now.
8. It works with e-directory supporting over 1 billion network objects.

Sorry if this is dry--I just want ONE thread of mine to survive the padlock today.
lol lol lol
To my knowlege SMS lacks most of these features and only supports some of them on a very basic level.
