Chapter 11

In Part III, we'll explore application management on Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) clients. In particular, we will look at how to deploy packages to SMS clients and then manage or track their usage. Fundamental to the package distribution process in SMS 2.0 is the creation and use of collections. So before we begin our examination of the package distribution process in earnest, we need to turn our attention to collections. In this chapter, you'll learn how to define, create, and update collections; how collections are handled in an SMS site hierarchy; and how to troubleshoot potential problems.
