Here are the minimum requirements from the readme file shipped with SMS 2003
SP1.
System Requirements
SMS Site Server System Requirements
Software Requirements
a.. Operating systems
a.. Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server
b.. Windows 2000 Advanced Server
c.. Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
d.. Windows ServerT 2003, Standard Edition
e.. Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
f.. Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition
Notes
a.. Microsoft's SMS 2003 support for server operating systems requires
that the most current server operating system or the immediately preceding
operating system service pack is installed. Microsoft will provide support
for products that have installed the immediately preceding service pack for
a period up to twelve months from the release of the current service pack.
Depending upon service pack release scheduled, the immediately preceding
service pack could be supported for less than 12 months. To verify the
service pack support dates, visit the Lifecycle Supported Service Packs Web
site.
b.. For additional information about Microsoft's support lifecycle
policy, visit the Microsoft's Support Lifecycle Support Policy FAQ Web site.
b.. Internet Information Services (IIS) must be installed as part of the
Windows Server installation for certain SMS site system roles. For specific
details, see the "Getting Started" chapter in the Microsoft Systems
Management Server 2003 Concepts, Planning, and Deployment Guide.
c.. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0, or later.
d.. Microsoft SQL ServerT 7.0 with Service Pack 3 or later, or SQL Server
2000 with Service Pack 3a, or later.
Notes
a.. It is recommended that all server computers with SMS site server roles
have only NTFS partitions.
b.. SMS 2003 has been extensively tested with the supported operating
system versions listed above. Although SMS 2003 is supported on all of the
platforms listed, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to the latest
operating system service pack at your earliest opportunity so that you can
take advantage of the included security fixes. If an issue that is exhibited
only on an earlier operating system revision is reported to Microsoft, and
the root cause of the issue is determined to be an operating system
component, the recommended solution to that issue may be to upgrade to a
more recent operating system service pack.
Hardware Requirements
Hardware component Requirement
Microprocessor 550 MHz or faster; Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or
compatible processor recommended
Memory 256 MB of RAM (maximum 4 GB of RAM)
Hard disk 2 GB of available hard disk space on an NTFS partition
Drive CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
Display Windows 2000-compatible video graphics adapter
Peripheral Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device,
or hardware that supports console redirection
Network Network adapter
SMS Client System Requirements
Software Requirements
a.. Operating systems
a.. Microsoft Windows 98
b.. Windows NT Server 4.0
c.. Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition
d.. Windows 2000 Professional
e.. Windows 2000 Server
f.. Windows 2000 Advanced Server
g.. Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
h.. Windows XP Professional
i.. Windows XP Embedded
j.. Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition
k.. Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition
l.. Windows Server 2003, Web Edition
m.. Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition
Notes
a.. Microsoft's SMS 2003 support for client operating systems requires
that one of the three most current operating system versions, including
service pack, is installed. To verify service pack support dates, visit the
Lifecycle Supported Service Packs Web site.
b.. For additional information about Microsoft's support lifecycle
policy, visit the Microsoft's Support Lifecycle Support Policy FAQ Web site.
b.. Internet Explorer 5.0 or later
Notes
a.. SMS client support for the Windows XP Embedded platform requires the
SMS 2003 Advanced Client for Windows XP Embedded.
b.. Installing the Legacy Client or the MSI form of the Advanced Client on
a computer running Windows XP Embedded is not supported. For this platform,
a specific Windows XP Embedded image must be built with XP Embedded Target
Designer, in which the XP Embedded form of the Advanced Client is included.
This method ensures that all operating system components that are necessary
for a valid SMS 2003 Advanced Client installation are included.
For more information about availability of the SMS 2003 Advanced Client for
Windows XP Embedded, see the Systems Management Server Web site.
Hardware Requirements
Hardware component Requirement
Microprocessor 300 MHz or faster recommended, 133 MHz minimum; Intel
Pentium/Celeron family, or compatible processor recommended
Memory 128 MB or higher recommended (64 MB supported, but can limit
performance and some features)
Hard disk 80 MB of available hard disk space
Display Super VGA (800×600) or higher-resolution video adapter and
monitor
Peripheral Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse, or compatible pointing device
