This is positively my last response to your posts, Bhuvan, since you clearly are unable to use basic Internet tools. Let me try one last time:

You make the point on my behalf with that statement.
From that Google link, I got here http://www.microsoft.com/smserver/default.mspx then I clicked the 'Product Information' link on the left-hand menu to get here http://www.microsoft.com/smserver/evaluation/default.mspx then I clicked 'Product Overview' http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sms/bb676790.aspx where I found this sentence:
Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 R2 builds upon the base of the SMS 2003 SP2 foundation to provide a comprehensive solution for change and configuration management for the Microsoft platform. SMS 2003 R2 enables organizations to quickly and cost-effectively provide relevant software and updates to users from Microsoft and non-Microsoft vendors.
How much more explanantion would anyone need as to what SMS is? This much more (edited to remove 'fluff')?:
Key Capabilities
SMS 2003 R2 provides the following key capabilities:
Inventory Tool for Custom UpdatesBuilding a more secure and reliable infrastructure while lowering operating costs relies on the ability to update independent software vendor (ISV) and in-house applications as well as updates provided by Microsoft. With SMS 2003 R2 and the Inventory Tool for Custom Updates (ITCU), organizations can achieve this goal quickly and efficiently.
Scan Tool for Vulnerability AssessmentSoftware installation errors and misconfigurations compromise security and stability, resulting in escalated support costs. Scan Tool for Vulnerability Assessment (STVA) can help prevent errors, increasing your organizational uptime and helping you build a more secure infrastructure. The tool provides vulnerability assessment reporting for common software misconfigurations using the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) 2.0 engine.
