took a few days off last week to travel to the Netherlands. Sorry for my
late reply.

Okay, some more information. The current SBRemote Deploy implementation is
just the beginning. It introduces the "main framework" for future features.
What's coming next is the "SBRemote Server". This application allows you to
manage remote deploy installations in a networked environment, including
workstations and servers - from one central location (Windows computer).

In order to be able to manage the desired remote computers via SBR Server it
is essential the computers can be pinged from the SBR Server.

So in theory, the following should be possible (if your local LAN via a
Sonic Wall NetExtender VPN application supports it). The SBR Server detects
that the laptop connected to the LAN. It immediately pushes the update to
the machine executes it in silent mode.

The new SBR Server is scheduled to be available for beta testing within the
next 6-8 weeks. Do you think it would be possible for you to test it?
