Manager features such as software distribution, software updates management, XP
and inventory until you install the client components.

Question: Can you assign clients to a secondary site?

Answer:  No.If you have a secondary site, the client must be assigned to the
primary parent of the secondary site. However, Configuration Manager knows
how to manage clients at the child secondary site. If there is a distribution point
at the secondary site that has the content the clients need, the clients will
probably get the content from the local distribution point instead of crossing
the WAN link to the primary site.

Question: Can Configuration Manager 2007 be used to package software for

distribution?
Answer:  No. Configuration Manager 2007 delivers command lines to clients and
can force those command lines to run with administrative rights using the Local
System account. Configuration Manager 2007 command lines can be batch files,
scripts, Windows Installer files with .msi extensions, executable files – any file
that the operating system can run, Configuration Manager 2007 can distribute.
However, Configuration Manager 2007 does not actually package any software
for distribution.
