[edit] The domain of systems management

By the way, you've just added the descriptions of those system administration tools to the list of systems management systems. Once again, these articles are about enterprise-wide management systems, not system administration tools. You should revert your edits or allow me to do it. Maybe you were confused by wrong categorization of the articles, weren't you? — Anrie Nord (talk • contribs) 2007-04-17 23:55Z

Please repost this comment in the talk section of the appropriate page. (Done by me - Djbclark) You seem to be confusing your personal definition of "systems management" with the canonical truth. There is not a single taxonomy that everyone agrees on; there are multiple points of view. And again with the nebulous "enterprise"; how is Nagios (which you put on the list and/or left in) more "enterprise" than say Cfengine? The former is pretty much just a monitoring system; the later can do monitoring type stuff, plus "enterprise management" type stuff (whatever that means). If you can come up with clear definitions of different categories of systems management applications that do not reference standards that are not agreed on, I would be fine with using that categorization within the articles (along with a note of the category definitions). — Djbclark 00:22, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
