Today I passed the "Designing, Implementing, and Managing Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003" MCP Test.
The test is 40 questing with a passing score on 700 out of 1000. My score was 936.

Hopefully this will end my focus on SMS 2003 so I can spend all my researach time on ConfigMgr 2007.

This SMS query will, list all PCs without a DVD.

select * from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_CDROM on SMS_G_System_CDROM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_CDROM.DeviceID not like "%DVD%"
