We have 40 servers with 35 applications; IM is a god send, much better than
the MF1.8 version.  The ability to use the MS native MSI installer as
opposed to "recording" each application is excellent.

Depending on the number of servers, I recommend definitely testing it in
your sandbox.

However, having worked on some much larger farms in the past, I found
Marimba (http://www.marimba.com) a much more viable solution for large
updates.  The only problem with it is the cost.

Does anyone on this list use the Installation Manger that is with XPe?  If
so can you let me know what your thoughts are on it.  I am trying to decide
if it is worth my time to look into using it to deploy updates to our farm.

Thanks
