1.0 out of 5 stars This book is for SMS 2.0, April 4, 2005

By	SI-285 "Adam" (North Providence, RI United States) - See all my reviews

I'm very dissappointed this book this book is not clearly listed as an SMS 2.0 book. Had I known it was for version 2.0 I would not have purchased it. I needed a book to help me with SMS 2003 patch deployment and this book has nothing in it to help me. It has only 19 pages which talk about SMS 2003 in a chapter called "Things to Come".

Who would have thought that software delivery for Microsoft SMS would take up an entire book! This book goes into some serious detail about every aspect of the software delivery process -- from creating packages and generating advertisements, to choosing repackaging technologies, to troubleshooting the entire process. No stone is left unturned. If you need to raise your software delivery success levels, this is how to do it.

Microsoft Systems Managment Server is a huge product. This book takes the software distribution mechanism and breaks it down into manageable chunks so that anyone can become a software distribution expert. With the need to distribute patches to keep the environment secure, this book is extremely timely. Learn how software delivery works, how to build packages, how to distribute packages successfully, and how to troubleshoot. This book can seriously take your distribution percentages through the roof.
