We know that SCCM(or other product of system center ) can be used to replace MOM and SMS. Can SC ( system center) be used in place of SUS ? I am asking this because SUS is also in progress with SCs. SUS 3.5 with sp1 is also available. How many tools can be replaced by SC (System Center)

Hello,SCCM is the former SMS.SCCM is one product in the System Center Family.SCCM doesn't replace MOM, that is replaced by SCOM (operations Manager).SCCM contains features for patch-management, which can replace SUS.I actually don't know how many products SCCM replaces, and especially not the entire System Center family./Znack

Yes! I am asking about System Center family. System center family has most of tools which can replace several former tools. Is there any list available which tells "how many tools can be replaced by SC". I guess there are only three to five products in SC family. So list should not be long.

Hello,There is a complete list available at;http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/en/us/products.aspxNo "easy-to-read" list though
