12
Roaming Boundaries You specify the roaming boundaries of your site IP subnets IP address ranges AD sites Clients in these boundaries can access content from the site’s DPs
13
Roaming Boundaries You can divide the roaming boundary space into two separate areas: Local roaming boundaries Fast, stable network Remote roaming boundaries Slow or unstable network such as RAS or wireless networks Advanced Clients can use BITS “download and execute” for software Supported on Primary and Secondary sites SC04 – Mobile Clients with SMS 2003 Fri 10:15

Server Locator Point Overview Server Locater Points are used to start the client installation process Similar to the logon point role in SMS 2.0 Maps clients to sites to complete installation Clients communicate to SLP using HTTP Can control which computers are SLPs SLPs can kick off standard or mobile client installation Place Capinst.exe, Smsman.exe, Client.msi, and a logon script in Netlogon share Can use a script to detect which platform to install Requires access to SQL Server Site database or replica Server Locator Points can be found through WINS or AD
16
Server Locator Points Site Server Client SMS Site Database Where’s my CAP? Server Locator Point WINS Where’s the SLP? Client Access Point Active Directory
17
Management Point Overview Management points are used to interface with Advanced clients Similar to the client access point role in SMS 2.0 Clients retrieve policies from MP Clients report discovery, inventory, metering, and status data to MP Clients communicate to MP using HTTP Clients find a local distribution point through MP Can control which computers are MPs Requires BITS Requires IIS Requires access to SQL Server Site database or replica Management Points can be found through WINS or AD

Client Agents Which to choose? Standard client Based on SMS 2.0 code base Not optimized for mobile systems Advanced Client Designed specifically to improve management of mobile systems Brand new code base
21
Advanced Client Architecture Advanced Client is driven by SMS policy Policy is XML with embedded MOF SMS policy is obtained from a Management Point SMS Policy is persisted locally Client leverages BITS Background Intelligent Transfer Service A service provided by the Windows OS Allows data to be sent with checkpoint-restart and bandwidth throttling
22
Determining Client Installation Methods Advanced clients can be installed through numerous methods: SMS software distribution to upgrade existing SMS standard (or SMS 2.0) clients IntelliMirror/GPO deployment Manual installation Preinstalled image Logon script through SLP and Capinst Standard clients are installed through SLP Can run Capinst for automated assignment Can run Smsman pointed to assigned site’s CAP Automated push installation of either client Automated push installation can be configured for clients or site systems Can install Advanced client on an existing standard client Deinstalls the standard client, then installs the Advanced client

SMS 2003 Security Migration SMS 2003 will provide two security modes: Standard Mode (same as SMS 2.0, SMS service etc.) Advanced Mode (dependent on AD) Can transition from Standard to Advanced Site Properties Site Reset (can’t go back again) Recommend a “top-down” migration to Advanced Security Mode. NOTE: The three new security groups are in Standard Mode as well as Advanced Mode Site System Access Group Site Address Access Group Database Access Group New groups: Local groups if site installed on a member server Domain groups if site installed on a DC Names can be overridden on setup (.ini file)

Advanced Client Roaming
27
Roaming Scenarios Regional roaming When the client is located within the roaming boundaries of a site that is part of the hierarchy of its assigned site Supported with and without Active Directory deployed Global roaming When the client is located within the roaming boundaries of any site in the SMS hierarchy Supported only with Active Directory deployed Fallback When the client is neither located within the roaming boundaries of any site in the SMS hierarchy, nor located within the site boundaries of its assigned site

SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 Features Interoperability Client Discovery and Installation Server locator points – Eliminate LP’s SMS 2003 SMSMan.exe – Run from 2.0 Cap Client Push Installation method – you can target SMS 2.0 clients Computers that reside in the overlapping boundaries SMS installs the following client types: Logon Script Client Type Windows 95Windows 98NT 4Windows 2000 and later Standard Clients SMS 2.0 clientSMS 2003 Standard Client Advanced Clients SMS 2.0 client SMS 2003 Advanced Client
32
SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 Features Interoperability Collections and Queries Collections defined on SMS03 sites propagate down to SMS2.0 Not all 2.0 classes exist in SMS03. Client Push Installation method – you can target SMS 2.0 clients Can’t export queries from one version and import them into another Hardware Inventory Propagated up to SMS03 16-bit clients assigned to SMS2.0 site will not SMS_def.mof not compatible - specifically referencing tables changes / new tables Software Inventory Propagated up to SMS03 16-bit clients assigned to SMS2.0 site will not details about file creation dates is discarded
33
SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 Features Interoperability Software Distribution Create and advertise programs to SMS2.0 sites Based on user accounts or user groups only 32-bit clients Status messages are propagated up to SMS03 Advanced Clients can download package source files from 2.0 distribution points Settings in the Advanced Client tab and the Suppress program notifications ignored by 2.0 Courier Sender a SMS03 site will only be received on 2.0 if 2.0 is using SMS03 Courier Sender Manager - copy the file SMS/bin/i386/coursend.exe from an SMS03 site to the SMS/bin/i386/ folder on the 2.0 site
