Asset Intelligence enhances the inventory capabilities of SMS 2003 SP3 by extending hardware and software inventory. Many inventory classes improve the breadth of information gathered about hardware and software assets.

This update, which is mentioned in the SMS 2003 SP3 help file, is the first periodic update to the Asset Intelligence Knowledge Base tables, containing newly released software information. Please note that this will update the SMS 2003 SP3 Asset Intelligence knowledge base and bring it to the same content level as SCCM 2007 RTM. This update is not intended for SCCM and is limited to SMS 2003 SP3. An update for SCCM 2007 will be provided with SCCM 2007 SP1.

Find yourself needing to test/prove the patch management features of System Center Configuration Manager 2007 in a disconnected lab environment? You’re not alone.

Thankfully, the Microsoft Update Catalog has provided an easy-to-use shopping basket type system for manually downloading the security update binaries. Couple this with the well-documented process for manually adding security updates to the SCCM Deploy Software Updates Wizard and your only a USB-drive away from having everything you need to begin your tests.

You can find out more from the following links.

How to Manually Download Software Updates

Using Microsoft Update Catalog with Configuration Manager 2007

Yes, you read that correctly. VISIO.

The following link shows a brief webcast of how Visio’s reliable data connectivity can be used to:

• Update the current network status
• Provide mapping detail to determine where security vulnerabilities exist
• Overlay building floorplans with asset details from SMS
• Monitor patching activity in real time using the above visual aids

While I’ve never given much consideration to using Visio in this capacity it does yield some interesting concepts for future development efforts.

Jeff Tondt, Senior Consultant for Microsoft Consulting Services, has recently made public a utility he has developed to map an SMS infrastructure. The tool, SMSMap, creates a visually appealing Visio diagram of your SMS topology and exports site settings to an XML file.

 

Fig. 1 SMSMap Radial View of an SMS Hierarchy

Built using Visual Studio .NET, SMS managed libraries, and Visio automation, Tondt provides a deep dive into its operations in this month’s issue of TechNet Magazine. 

The download includes both a compiled version of the tool, and the supporting source code for further customizing for your specific needs.

Thank you, Jeff, for providing such a useful (and necessary) tool!
