SMS 2.0 deploys applications, software updates, and OSs over enterprise networks and discovers and tracks distributed Windows-based software and hardware, including laptops, PCs, and servers. The product includes Remote Diagnostics with Systems Management Server 2.0, a tool suite that helps administrators troubleshoot and solve problems with Windows-based systems from a central location. SMS 2.0 is compatible with management tools from Microsoft and other vendors.
