Use of LANDesk for Patch and Configuration Management

The Metropolitan State College of Denver is a commuter campus in downtown Denver. Our Auraria Campus actually houses three institutions: University of Colorado at Denver, Community College of Denver, and Metropolitan State College of Denver. We operate several large computer labs on campus as well as provide desktop computers to all of the staff and full time instructors. All purchases of computing equipment must be made through IT and comes with a standard image. Since 2000, we have included LANDesk on all systems that we deploy. The motivation to acquire LANDesk was for asset management and software metering.
