<TITLE>Recon Rollout Question</TITLE>

<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>Hello everyone<BR>
<BR>
We are currently running Casper 6 sucessfully in our local office LAN and want to rollout (in particular Recon) to our other offices in Western Europe. Many of these are on slower links and do not have a large infrastructure and certainly do not have OSX server. Other offices are larger and have around 50 to 100 macs and a better osx backend and links. We are trying to find a solution that best fits moving forward and planning the best way to implement Recon to start. Essentially we need to run recon on all of the macs in WEU to report on software licensing.<BR>
<BR>
Question is: do people think it is a good idea to use a centrally managed server from London and have them reporting back to our server or is it best to go with asking the offices to install a local copy of osx server and run their own versions? Ideally we would like to maintain control of the data and be able to access (which I know you can do either way over http). Ideally we would like to have a good booster server setup in the future that we could share our applications, etc but at present that is not our main goal.<BR>
<BR>
Any thoughts would be appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
