Reduce Operational Costs
The Systems Management Server Administration Feature Pack provides sophisticated tools you can use to reduce the operational cost of managing distributed Systems Management Server implementations—keeping the total cost of ownership low while allowing the number of deployed systems to grow when needed. Administrators can use the tools within the Administration Feature Pack to enforce conforming settings in the hierarchy, restore settings after a site is rebuilt, set up new sites quickly, and easily manage accounts and passwords.
