Systems Management Server 2003 hit the beta 2 phase, moving the management server further along the track for its planned September release, Microsoft announced this week. SMS 2003 is the long-awaited and frequently delayed successor to SMS 2.0, which is four years old this month. SMS enables distribution, asset management and remote troubleshooting of Windows-based desktop and server systems.
The key enhancements in SMS 2003 are mobile support for laptop users; Active Directory integration; more scalable software metering and reporting; and a Trustworthy Computing-related security review of the code.
