What sort of management would that require? as in actual people for service work. Could 1 person maintain it?

Surprisingly few, all the management and config work will be from a central console.

To give you an idea, when where I work was in its real heyday we had probably 5000+ machines on a campus over a mile long. The entire network was managed by 5 guys and a couple of contract sparks for the cabling.

Maybe this is a silly question but here goes

In a setup like this did you find that users reporting problems that had to be invetigated is where the most time is spent? or was the mangement software able to id problems as they occured ?
