Thanks for your thoughts Michael

Based on the lack of any other responses on this one i guess it doesn't get used much, doesn't work very well  .. or VOX is quieter than it used to be...

I am told that there have not been enough requests to do a SCOM 2013 pack so it will not get created or looked at further so will have to do what we can ... maybe i will publish a guide once we have it all working.

Thanks again

Mark
