Software Update status messages come from two sources, patchinstall and the
scan package. If your central site is an upgrade from SMS 2.0 you'll need
to update the scan tool with the 2003 version. If you have existing update
packages created at or by a 2.0 site, you'll need to update the patchinstall
version in those packages. The easiest way to do that is to run the Wizard
against those packages.
If you do all of that, then your 2.0 clients at the child sites will
generate all of the new 2003 status messages and they will be processed and
sent back to the 2003 Central site where you can view reports. All of the
scan tools currently available, except for the Dell Update scan tool will
work when advertised from a 2003 site to clients of a child 2.0 site.
The Dell Update scan tool will only work on SMS 2003 SP1 advanced clients.
There are other scan tools coming in the future which will likely have the
same requirements.
