Hello, I am looking for a Network Management app that can do the following: 1. Remote Control (Not Remote desktop). 2. Alerts by SMTP. 3. Inventory computers for hardware and software. 4. Schedule jobs such as install software. 5. Restart/Shutdown computers. 6. Monitor computers (temperature, HD space, CPU usage, etc.). 7. Monitor the Event Log for entrties that I choose. I was using IBM Director and I am looking for an alternative to it and I was hoping MOM can do all the things I mentioned. If it cannot, can someone let me know which app from MS would do the things I am looking for? Thank You.

Check out the network monitoring features in the new Operations Manager 2012 beta. It doesn't do the remote control of the switch/hub or do software updtes for the switches or hubs - but for computers connected to your network, the rest of your list is covered.Microsoft Corporation
