Steadystate for enterprise level
Hi,Steadystateis clearly being used in larger environments than "a few PCs". The fact that there is AD GP management can only lead us to believe Microsoft intend the use of the product in more than little Internet cafes etc. I expect many people are using Steadystate inorganisations with100+ computers, necesssitating the use of desktop management tools.So when are we going to get amore enterprised level feature set? Today I have battled to get the product working with Task Sequences within SCCM. I finally managed to solve a final part of my puzzle by finding a registry key that existed in the Shared Toolkit, but for some bizarre reason was "removed" (officially anyway) from Steadystate. This is the registry key that allows the PC to reboot with WDP changes being retained - thus allowing any changes to be permanent - but upon reboot, the WDP discard all changes comes back into effect.yes, we can do this manually. But.. when you are talking of 100+ PCs, you are talking automation, scriptability and the ability to remotely do "stuff".I guess the question is.. the Steadystate team must have had experience of being an admin in the real world. You guys know that the ability to automate actions is important to us administrators. So why isn't the tool being designed from the outset to cater for the Real World and come with the necessary documentation and management VBScripts the forums are full of in order to achieve the common administrative tasks.And please answer this question - why remove a documented feature from and older version when it has clear value??Come on guys.. this is a bigger picture topic we are discussing. It's a great product, but surely is now mature enough to cater for us admins running it in an enterprise environment. Comments welcomed..Solution for "RestoreDiscardModeNextBoot" that was inexplicably removed from Steadystate 2.5....http://social.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/windowssteadystate/thread/61482160-279b-47c1-ac47-a6b7dd191d99/?prof=required

I've been tasked with somethiong similar and was surprised to see there's no support for the enterprise!! I've around 150 PCs that need locking down. Also disappointed there's no 7 support for this, only Vista & XP. Jules.. can you give me any pointers on getting SS into a TS? We've a fully functioning Vista TS which I'll try and integrate the SS into. Cheers
