Server - PDQ Deploy utility per monitorare la rete ed installare software

Segnalo un'interessante utility che ho scoperto oggi per caso.

Si trata di PDQ utility che esiste anche nella versione gratuita.

Si tratta di due utility:

1. PDQ Deploy che a grandi linee permette di avere uno strumento per effettuare installazioni "silent" sui client.PDQ Deploy non sfrutta agent ma solo l'SMB File Sharing basta infatti che i client permettano l'accesso alle Administrative Shares (C$, RPC$, ADMIN$) 
2. PDQ Reporting che permette di avere una reportistica dei client per quanto riguarda il software e l'hardware
