Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 provides a comprehensive solution for managing the Microsoft platform, enabling organizations to provide relevant software and updates to users quickly and cost-effectively. This book offers hundreds of quick-reference solutions for the Windows administrator. The book addresses a wide range of problems that all levels of SMS administrators have reported to our authors in the course of their real-world jobs. Some are simple, beginning implementation solutions, while others address high-end automation techniques. The recipes in this book were not selected whimsically, nor on the basis of what the authors found cool or interesting, but rather on the frequency and importance of complaints experienced by the authors in practical business environments.
