Summary

With the completion of this chapter and the previous chapter, you should have a full set of tools to help you understand, monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot your SMS site and site systems. This particular chapter reintroduced you to System Monitor as a server optimization tool and Network Monitor as its network counterpart, as well as the Network Trace tool.

The next four chapters will concentrate on the discovery of resources in your SMS site and—at last!—the installation of clients, inventory collection, and remote control services.
