SMS R2 - available to download
I noticed today on Blakes blog and Rod's blog that Systems Management Server 2003 R2 is now available for download. Omar pointed out all of the features included in the release and Anthony talked very coprehensively about upgrading his systems. These guys certainly have their fingers right on the button whereas I'm so far behind in my technical reading that sometines I just want to give everything the finger with the delete key and start again! Anyway, here's the info from our internal newsletter about the release...
Microsoft announces RTM of the R2 release of SMS 2003. Included in SMS 2003 R2 is the ability to update custom line-of-business and third party applications as well as to provide scanning for almost 100 critical system vulnerabilities. Together, this new functionality promises to help simplify the process of keeping systems updated and more secure.
