Just patching? Have you looked at the page today. Rev 4 was just released. Provides everything you'd find in ConfigMgr, except in the Cloud.

It might do more but Microsoft's web page on it does not give much information. KBox runs as an agent over port 80 or 443 - depends on if you want to use certs. I've ever seen any high utilization from agents, even when running force inventory, patching, app push. I never used it for OS push or imaging so I can't speak to that. Tell your engineers to give it a try.. Or do they prefer to manually patch everything on those servers?

Does intune give you the ability to do lifecycle management?

I have many engineers who are literally "cycle counters" and will notice just about anything installed and start complaining about wasted resources. They run the servers hard and like them lean as possible. The Kace people have been after me to allow them on the engineering servers...

I am going to check out the Landesk lunch and learn later this month as well.

At my last job I used Kace appliances and they were great. I am looking at those this time but thought I'd ask the list for additional suggestions. At my new job we have System Center Essentials 2007. It's not so good but it is old and I understand that product is EOL. Looking for: patch distribution/management, inventorying, reporting, ability to create granular groups based on factors like IP, machine type, AD memberships, OU location, software deployment, and remote control (not super important since we already own a product for this). Embedded help desk, even if basic, would be a bonus. This place doesn't have one currently. This would be for about 350 nodes. Can be appliance, vmware machine, or even hosted. As long as it does what I need.
