Thanks.  Coming back to the theme of the original post - finding a suite
of tools to complement Nagios to help it compete with the likes of
UniCenter and Tivoli - cfEngine seems very Linux and server oriented
although it does discuss using Cygwin to manage Windows servers.

In my CIO/CTO positions, I have always found the challenge to be Windows
desktops.  To build an open source alternative to the proprietary
offerings, the big missing piece has always seemed to be software
distribution and PC maintenance, e.g., LANDesk, Empirum, Marimba.  Has
anyone found a mature such open source product and especially one with
ties to Nagios? - John
