Unfortunately mcollective wouldn't really work for me. It would, for servers, for the most part. So I might utilize it for those. But I'm looking at managing OS X clients too, many of which are laptops. My understanding of mcollective is that it requires the connectivity between the servers to be always on. That wouldn't work well for laptops. Thanks for the recommendation though. I'd completely spaced that mcollective existed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
