yep we decided against it as well
settled for ted just copying all stuff to each server , with like of the slp patches - we can copy straight to the nwserver , the ip patches straight to the system and then for the edir 8.7.3.2 to 8.7.3.3 - let it copy to a patches dir and then just pop in and do the nwconfig manually
that in it's self is a handy feature - and the reports on imanage for this are amazing clear
the ips files were a bit of a pain
