As I already told, your best bet is managing Windows on its own.  Have a look 
at System Center Configuration Manager 
(http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter).

You might find it cumbersome, expensive, hardware intensive and unable to 
integrate with anything else but itself but it's the way to go.

Surely whoever took the decision of going Microsoft took that into account 
when calculating its ROI, didn't he?

Cheers.
