·         SMS 2003 Desired Configuration Monitoring: This solution helps enable IT professionals to easily define desired configuration settings across multiple hardware and software configuration sources and detect configuration non-compliance. The SMS 2003 Desired Configuration Management solution provides the components required to define and compare configuration templates, or manifests, and provide detailed reports of configuration non-compliance using data collected by SMS 2003. The solution is a pre-cursor to the SDM-based desired configuration monitoring functionality planned to be delivered as part of SMS V4, providing this capability against SMS 2003 today.
