We just installed Campus Manager over the Winter Break. I am not sure what you classify as a large ResNet, last year we had around 2100 registered clients in our dorms. So far in general our experience with Campus Manager has been great. We did have a large volume of HelpDesk calls the week students moved back but we were expecting that. I highly recommend you get the CAT tool with the installation, we made a last minute decision to add that and so far it has helped us make sure that student's machines are clean before registering. Last semester our dorm bandwidth was constantly at 100% utilization mostly due to peer-to-peer applications and viruses, so far this semester students are consuming on average 30%-50% of their allotted bandwidth.

large
campus network or (2) multiple instances We are looking at Bradford Campus Manager as a commercial alternative for network registration, automatic Nessus scanning as a part of network registration, etc. However, it appears to be primarily deployed at institutions with smaller networks. We are interested in everyone's experiences with Bradford Campus Manager -- but particularly those who have tested and/or deployed it in large research university environments or with large resnets. We are also particularly interested in hearing from anyone who has multiple instances of Bradford Campus Manager on their campus network as well as comments on scalability and failure mode recovery (fail-over, redundancy, MTTF, etc.). Looking for any and all experiences (good, bad, indifferent). I'll summarize to the list. Please reply to me off-list. Thanks. - H.
