A5: Yes. SMS helps detect and deploy these security updates. Both SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 with SUIT use MBSA 1.2.1 technology for detection. Therefore, SMS 2.0 and SMS 2003 with SUIT have similar limitations to MBSA 1.2.1. For more information about SMS, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/smserver/default.mspx
