The creation of System Center is part of that same vision for increasing simplicity and flexibility, said David Hamilton, director of Microsoft's enterprise management division. "We're heading toward delivering one unified enterprise management solution. This is the first deliverable of that multiyear roadmap," he said. SMS 2003 is a tool for managing configurations of Windows desktop and server machines. In beta now and scheduled for a September release, the software updates Microsoft's SMS 2.0 product. Handling of mobile devices was one key area targeted in the overhaul, with support for devices running Windows CE added to SMS 2003, according to Microsoft officials.
