Systems Management Server Equivalent for Linux?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday October 9, 2002 @12:31AM from the preventing-a-major-network-overhaul dept.

em_tasol asks: "While tearing my hair out trying to manage an expanding network and keep the 'Standard' in 'Standard Operating Environment', someone suggested we use Microsoft's Systems Management Server for many tasks that we currently run around doing manually. We are using a Linux-based Samba PDC at the moment, and installing SMS would require a total infrastructure rethink, because it appears to require a Windows PDC to install itself and SQL Server. Does anyone know how I might put something together in the Linux environment that will be compatible with a Samba NT4 domain environment that will perform the same sort of functions as SMS?"

like the MCSE guys, but I don't have the money in my budget for SMS licenses. Can you help me?
