Virtual Lab: “Managing Security Updates with SMS”
https://www.microsoft.com/technet/vlab
This virtual lab allows you to:
- Scan computers by using SMS 2003. Manage security update distribution by using SMS 2003.
On that Virtual Lab homepage, click on the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 section
- Then click on the “Step into the SMS 2003 Virtual Lab for Free”
- It might take a minute for this page to come up, depending on how busy the demoservers are. (You will have better luck getting onto these in the early morning or late evening, US-time.)
- Follow the logon/signup instructions, and choose the “Managing Security Updates with SMS” lab.
