IMPORTANT: Localized language support for SMS Servers is provided by specific Microsoft® hotfixes. HP

expects to support German, French, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and the SMS International Client Pack on

SMS Servers at a later date. At that time, you will need to apply the appropriate hotfixes to use localized

versions of the SMS server. The required hotfixes are available on the

Microsoft® website

(

http://support.microsoft.com/). Use of localized versions of SMS without these hotfixes will not work and is

not supported.

NOTE: Hard disk space for the HP repository is maintained in a local or network share folder. The current

size of the HP repository is approximately 1.08 GB, and it will continue to grow as additional updates are

released.

SMS client servers

Most HP ProLiant and Integrity servers are supported as SMS clients. Those that are not supported have

not been tested by HP and might not display inventory information correctly. Specific exclusions include

the following systems:

• Older ProLiant servers that precede the BL, DL, and ML product lines

• Older HP NetServer servers
