sure they do ;)

I would phrase that more like: Most enterprises believe they have automated tools etc. Sure, the desktops are controlled centrally, but most corporations i have been working with in the last 15 years have had very limited tools to deploy servers.

Most of the time, i have seen these projects get implemented, but then die out when they start to consider all the old in-house apps. In the last one i was at, they implemented the tools, but ended up using it only for basic system setup and patching. Any application was installed by hand and managed by hand.
