Was just informed that we have purchased numerous licenses, and I'm supposed to evaluate & prepare training materials for our staff. I'm aware of the program, but have never had cause to use it. Anyone have experiences with TTP to pass along?

I have used it late 90s and early 2000s. It was a good hardware diagnostics tool then. But not sure what the recent version is capable off.

Used it in the past but with modern techniques like putting the users data on another disk with fstab & the speed of imaging. I found it quicker and easier to just to rebuild in 40 minutes!

That seems to be what I'm hearing around the web too...that it was useful once, but now not so much. Seems like a lot of functionality that is replicated already, between Casper & Apple's existing tools. Unless I hear something really interesting about it, I'm going to recommend shelving it. (I don't know who recommended that we buy it...)
