Use sms2003 Instead of "Windows Vista Hardware Assessment solution

is there any premade reports or other tools to use in SMS that does the same
job as the "Windows Vista Hardware Assessment solution accelerator"?

It seems strange to use this to collect info from all our sites all around
the world when we allready using SMS and have tons of data in that database
allready.

Hi Palle,

Thanks for posting here.

From the description, I understand the issue is that you want to know
whether SMS can do the same job as Windows Vista Hardware Assessment tool.
If I am off base, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Please refer to the following link,SMS 2003 Service Pack 3 have been
released.

Upgrade Planning: Identify core and non-core applications in order to
understand what applications require migration to the new environment.
Software consolidation aids upgrade planning by reducing the number of
applications that need compatibility testing. Identify hardware assets that
need upgrading based on comparisons to published operating system hardware
requirements. The result is more efficient planning and streamlined
execution for upgrading users to Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista.
