I'm a little confused so let me explain what I want to do and you can tell
me if it will help

We only have SUS FP installed on the parent site (which has 0 clients) and
its advertised from there to a collection containing all of our workstations
from all of the child sites . Each child site gets the replicated
advertisement and sends it to its clients and they run the package that was
created on the parent.

When I run the report on the parent server that is SMS 2003 sp1. Will the
report accurately reflect the patch status of the clients that ran the
package from a sms 2.0 site?
