Title: One of the few readable SMS books around!!
Product review: I found this book to be one of the few readable SMS books around. Although it is not a full-blown SMS 2.0 book, the author does fully discuss the product features of: enhanced software and hardware inventory capabilities, support for the Common Information Model (CIM), increased scalability, enhanced remote monitoring and diagnosis, and installation. The book also included discussions on built-in hooks for tight integration with the Active Directory, which is due to ship with the final version of Windows NT 5.0 or Windows 2000 as its called now. The book really focused in on how SMS 2.0 is the ideal migration tool because of its sophisticated software distribution capabilities. It's quite apparent from having read this book from cover to cover, that the author brilliantly presented SMS in a light that would fulfill any company's enterprise management vision.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
