As you can see, SMS 2.0 represents a significant advance from previous versions of SMS. It has a robust feature set, increased functionality, improved client support, and extensive status messaging and troubleshooting tools. We've reviewed most of the differences that an SMS 1.2 administrator will encounter when implementing and managing an SMS 2.0 environment. We'll look at more of these changes as we progress through this book.

By now you may be thinking that this all sounds too good to be true. You, of course, will be the ultimate judge as to this product's effectiveness within your own environment. Certainly the product is not flawless. In fact, as with all new version releases of products, there are some, er, um, eccentricities with SMS 2.0. These too will be pointed out as we continue our journey through the world of SMS. But by the time you finish this book, you'll probably agree that SMS 2.0 is rich with features and functions that make it—among products of its kind—the product of choice. Onward, now, to installation!
