I was going to try to do that or better develop the Snapin management.

After reviewing this forum post. I am going to try to download the source tonight and try to develop a feature.

One host would have a Default Group. and Sub Groups.
Currently it appears that snapins are are referred to by a Snapin ID. So it would only pickup one snapin once, and show what groups it inherited from.
Or.
It could even work like the permissions of a Mumble Server(an open source VoIP)
Or.
It could work in a structure like this.
ComputerLab101-ITBuilding Group
[INDENT=1]|_Presentation Computers Sub Group[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]|_Lab Computers[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]|_Hand-accessible Computers[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2] [/INDENT]
machines would inherit [S]upward[/S] downward like so.

I have been enjoying using this software, and was wondering how to become a developer.
I see this as a benefit for me to build up my resume, and gain invaluable experience in my field.

Under Snapin, And Printer management for a Host,

Include inheritance for them such that it would read?

Here is an example with Printers

PRINTERS
Default | Printer Alias | Printer Type | Inherited | Remove
x | Foo Printer | Local | BarGroup | X Delete
_ | Derp Printer | Local | This_host, BarGroup | X Delete

Being able to group snapins as a package, that would allow precedence to occur would be nice.

Install Foo 2010
Install Bar 2010
Install FooBar 2010 sp2

then having the ability to link a package to a Host.

Sometime there are features on a printer you want to turn off, Such as Bidirectional printing.

It would be nice for an Advanced Tab on the Printer Objects that allowed users to write custom batch/cmd files that would run after install.

I know it is difficult to add features for every case that is why having a built in script option that would run after would be nice.

Example, I use HP1022n printers in my environment, and they just do not like Bidirectional printing on. or else it will just print endless copies of the document until that feature is turned off.

(I plan on removing these damn printers as they are nearing the end of their useful life, but still would be a nice feature)

It would also be a cool idea to add Snapins to link to printer installs. Could give the ability to add scanning software to the printers as they are added.

There is custom software developed in house that i need to develop installers for.

It appears to be discontinued… had to find it though a mirror

Back in the day, I used to use a software that would take snapshots for before and after an install had taken place, It would compare the changes, then create an executable that would allow those changes to be made on another machine(s).

Does any one know if a tool that still does this?
