Microsoft published rev. 1.2 of Scenarios and Procedures for Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003: Security

Securing your Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) environment is not a task you can complete once and forget about. You get secure, either by planning a secure implementation or securing an existing implementation. You stay secure by reviewing your security configuration, policies, and procedures. Whether you have already deployed SMS or are in the planning stages, follow these established best practices to create the most secure SMS environment possible, and then follow the guidance to maintain the most secure environment possible.

This document is primarily intended for SMS administrators. At companies where there is an established security infrastructure, the SMS administrator must work in conjunction with the security engineers and architects to provide an SMS environment that complies with all company security policies
