MAMC currently employs Microsoft SMS 2.0 software for hardware/software inventory and push/pull technology of software di stribution and management. This system by itself has proven to be only marginally acceptable. Software delivery of upgrades, security patches and security hot fixes across the network has been marginal, at best. Identification of hardware requiring these actions and the delivery of required software has at times been reduced to one to one installation consuming valuable resources.
