SMS Concepts
Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 provides a means to
manage software updates for Microsoft platform endpoints. The SMS server
contains a database of logical groups with common attributes called
collec-
tions
. SMS operates only on
clients
endpoints) that are members of a collec-
tion.
Software installation packages come ready to install from Microsoft or you
can create your own. A
package
contains the files and instructions for distrib-
uting the software. An
advertisement
is a notification that says an update
(package) is available.
NOTE:
Detailed instructions on using and configuring SMS are beyond the scope of
this document. See “Learning More About SMS” on page 16-11 for links to
helpful SMS information.
NOTE:
SMS server has a setting that allows users to interact with and cancel patch
installation. ProCurve recommends that you do not allow users to cancel
patch installation. Once a patch installation has been canceled, the patch does
not automatically attempt to install later and the endpoint will never pass the
NAC policy test without manual intervention by the SMS administrator. If an
end-user cancels a patch installation, the SMS administrator must re-run the
advertisement to patch the endpoint.
