Hello Everyone, Do any of you have both of these products deployed in your enterprise? IF so,have integrated the two backend SQL databases for reporting purposes? Unfortuntely, SMS 2003 does not have a single Macintosh plug-in tool from a third party vendor to work with SMS 2003. Although...

Hey, I think collected on a registry key, preferably a registry provider, would require you to edit the SMS_def.mof file. Depending on whether your using the advanced or standard client will dictate how easily that can be done. Unfortuntely the advanced client requires the sms_def.mof file to...

Hello Everyone, I have been placed in a situation that is capturing the true essence of what SMS software distribution is all about. Unforutunely, it has me strangely in a loop with no answer. Although quite basic to some, here is what I need to accomplish. On all machines, I need to simply...
