The software that I am using is SmartLaunch (www.smartlaunch.com) i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it, before i go out and call denmark (their support office) which will cost an arm and a leg....

basically hooking up 22 computers, right now 12 of the 22 are working properly, the other 10 can communicate with the server fine, authenticate the client ok, they will just not list any of the installed programs on the omputers them selves. I have posted questions on their forums, no response yet, and only 5 views (posted 12 hours ago). I have made sure that windows updates have been done to all of the PCs, windows firewall is turned off, they are all connected to the same switch..... they werent originally, but i figured i would see if plugging them all into the same 24 pot switch would help.....nope. I have restarted the computers numerous times, the server too, as well as release/renew/flushdns on each of the machines. I really like to get this working right .... its free this weekend, so we just have the computers unlocked and they can do whatever..... after close, found one of the computers with lime wire .... and i really don't want that crap going on. i will prollly have to reformat that comp now cause of spyware...dumbass people.

over the past 2 days we have been open (grand opened friday and saturday) we did manage to get and move in and out around 200-300 people (no hourly rates for fri/sat, sun = 5$ all day pass) we already have people that have sined up for yearly memberships which will give them access to discounted hourly rates (5$ instead of 7$) , more points accumulated in our points program once we get it up and running, and 10% off most merch we will be selling (www.dandh.com). I would really like getting this to work sooner rather than later, if worse comes to worse i will have to call their tech support and prolly get charged up the *** for long distance ... thank god i dont have to call from my phone .. haha

one other question about Wake on LAN, the server actually has the option to turn on the computers from its off state. Only 6 of the 22 computers work with WOL, and i was wondering if there is a nother solution to that, im going to flash the bios when i get time tomorow.... hmmm
