Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 R2 (SMS) provides a comprehensive solution for change and configuration management for the Microsoft platform. The package includes software tools for detailed hardware inventory, software inventory and metering, software distribution and installation, and remote troubleshooting. SMS deploys applications, software updates, and operating systems over simple or advanced enterprise networks. It also keeps an inventory of all distributed Windows-based computers and the software installed on them. Additionally, SMS makes it easy to identify and distribute new updates.

The R2 version adds tools that evaluate target clients for software update compliance, import software update catalogs, and check for vulnerabilities due to software misconfiguration errors.

Service Pack 3 consolidates security enhancements and adds Windows Vista and x64 support as well as improved asset management capabilities.

This is a server license. A SMS Configuration Management License (CML) is required for each server, desktop, notebook, and mobile device that is managed by SMS.
