Professional MOM 2005, SMS 2003, and WSUS
The readers of this book will benefit from having access to a Windows Server domain and software including MOM 2005 and SMS 2003. Some of this software is available to be downloaded for evaluation purposes. For those without access to a lab or test network environment, products such as Virtual Server or Virtual PC can help to build an environment for testing. For IT professionals that don't have access to these tools, the Virtual Labs available at Microsoft's Tech Net site (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/traincert/virtuallab/default.mspx) can be used to review much of the functionality described in this book.
