Discover the rich new features that SMS 2.0's successor will offer
During last year's MyITforum 2001 conference (also known as the SMS & Windows Management Conference), Microsoft announced the new version of Systems Management Server (SMS), code-named Topaz. Network administrators who work with SMS know that countless hours are required to manage the pre—Service Pack 2 (SP2) versions of SMS 2.0. Microsoft proposed product changes to Topaz after listening to these supporters and has committed to a long and thorough beta program for the new server product. The features Microsoft is planning for Topaz differ from SMS 2.0 in many important ways.
