Welcome to the new droppeDPackets site …
Droppedpackets is a community-based site that provides various scripts, information and analysis — focusing on LANDesk Software related products.
Here are the basics of interacting with the site:
- You don’t have to be a “member” of the site to view any of the content. You do have to be a member to post new content. Not sure what you can post?
- If you wrote it and you aren’t charging for it, post it. If you need help, just ask.
- If you wrote it and you are charging for it, you can link to it, but be clear that it’s a commercial product. We’re not interested in paid-for add-ons; you can put whatever you like in your home folder, but it won’t be published for navigation.
- If you didn’t write it, you can link to it.
- This isn’t a place to ask questions, it’s a place to post solutions. Questions go to the community site, where a lot of the same people are available to help.
If you’ve been to the site previously you will have noticed that content has been moved. If you were a previous content contributor please e-mail us. Once you’re registered on the site, we’ll move existing content under your account and posting new content will be much more seamless than it was in the past. Thanks !!
