Intune 2
If you don’t currently have an Microsoft Enterprise agreement, or you can’t afford a System Center Configuration Manager server, perhaps you should pick up Microsoft’s Intune product.
For a minimal monthly cost per PC, this software offers a great deal of control & reporting to your existing environment. Did I mention that this product also offers a 30 day free trial for 25 systems, and a wealth of free documentation as well.
From simple Microsoft application deployment to remote assistance, Intune offers a great central management platform for smaller companies, or a good entry level product similar to SCCM. This product offers some great core functionality in the forms of process security fixes, and other updates, alerting with things go awry, view of per PC software inventories, reporting, software deployments over the internet connections, and other admin duties.
