Another returning topic at the event is Windows Server Update Services. The patch management tool, an update to the current Software Update Services 1.0, has been delayed several times and has had two different names: Windows Update Services and Software Update Services 2.0. The product, which Microsoft will make available at no cost, is currently scheduled for final release in the first half of 2005.
Although the Management Summit focuses mainly on Microsoft products, some other vendors get room to show off their wares. Several vendors will be making announcements at the event:
- FullArmor plans to announce the availability of its IntelliPolicy Connector, which connects FullArmor IntelliPolicy for Clients to NetIQ's Group Policy Administrator v4.6. In addition, NetIQ will market and resell FullArmor IntelliPolicy for Clients as part its Group Policy Suite.
- Tidal Software plans to announce the release of Horizon for SAP version 1.5 with support for Microsoft's MOM 2005. The product analyzes and identifies SAP transactions that impact system performance.
- Special Operations Software plans to announce a new group policy-based software deployment product.
