Short Take: New SMS server due Monday

Microsoft will begin shipping the final version of Systems Management Server (SMS) Server 2.0 on Monday. SMS allows users to manage desktops and servers running Windows-based operating systems. New features include the ability to meter software application usage, check for Year 2000 compliance and support for remote users. It also serves as a monitoring tool that checks the server resources, such as disk space and memory, and warns users when problems arise.
