Chapter 8
In Chapter 7, you learned how Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) discovers resources and then adds them to the SMS database. To manage a computer resource, however, you must make that computer an SMS client, which means installing SMS client components on it. In this chapter, we'll focus on the installation process. We'll begin by exploring the concept of site assignment. Then we'll look at the installation methods, and you'll learn how to manage the client configuration and how to remove SMS from the client if necessary.
