Alternatively, anyone have horror stories of bad deployment ideas that burned them that I should avoid? One concept I'd like to bat around is deploying SS initially with limited functionality (no auto-password changing, discovery, expiry, etc.). I'd like it initially to be basically a password wallet. I'd like to then, at a later date, slowly unroll features to my users such as discovering dependencies and doing auto password management. Will I be painting myself into a corner or wishing I would've done things differently once I get to the point of rolling out these features? I just don't want to start down one road, have a ton of secrets put into the server and then go to enable some functionality only to find I have to "touch" each previously stored secret to enable something or other, etc. Does that make sense? Feel free to share any deployment plans that you might have! Much appreciated!

Typical timeline for an enterprise customer to fully implement the plan could be from 1 month to 6 months (the tech is usually the easy part - the hard part is dealing with all the politics and internal controls! :-D). Best. -- Secret Server 8.1 - Web Password Filler, SAP support, advanced discovery capabilities with rules. Need a free trial license?  Send an email to sales@thycotic.com
