Last Update for SMS 2003 ?

Question

KB974014 - Windows 7 and 2008 R2 support added for SMS 2003

 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974014

 

 

We recognize that Windows 7 is an opportunity for organizations to reduce their costs, improve security, and improve productivity. Windows 7 helps achieve these goals. However, organizations do not maximize the return on investment of Windows 7 without modern infrastructure to support it.

 

We want organizations to benefit from the latest platform's features. To achieve these goals, we want to help organizations migrate to our latest management platform. To do this, we have released a compatibility pack that adds Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 as supported clients in Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3). This compatibility pack helps SMS 2003 SP3 users migrate their software to Configuration Manager 2007 while realizing immediate benefits from their Windows 7 investment.

 

Note This compatibility pack is a one-time offer. We have no plans to offer future compatibility packs to support future versions of Windows on SMS 2003 SP3.

 

This compatibility pack does not provide support for the administrator console, for any site-server roles, for any SMS 2003 feature pack, or for any SMS 2003 add-in. An example of a feature pack is the Operating System Deployment Feature Pack for Windows 7 or for Windows Server 2008 R2.

 

The SMS 2003 Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates Revision 3 supports software-update deployments to Windows 7 and to Windows Server 2008 R2.

General information about ITMU Revision 3 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sms/bb676783.aspx)

We are releasing this compatibility pack to the general public at no cost. The support life cycle for SMS 2003 ended the Mainstream Support phase on January 12, 2010. SMS 2003 nonsecurity hotfixes that are released after January 12, 2010, follow the Microsoft Lifecycle Support policy and require Extended Hotfix Support.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

 

 

To resolve compatibility issues, install this compatibility pack on all site servers that are running SMS 2003 SP3.
