We currently use SMS 2003, especially the remote tools feature. &nbsp;The problem we have run into is, SMS 2003 remote tools will not work with Windows 7. &nbsp;It appears that SCCM and SCE have replaced SMS? &nbsp;Do either of these have the same capabilities as far as remote tools go? &nbsp;I heard at one point one of these would only allow remote assistance which doesnt help if someone is away from their system.<br />
