The new Identity Agent is a required component to access this functionality. This integration no longer supports Windows Server 2003. • Upgrades are supported from SMS 3.5 or later. However, it is recommended that the SMS appliance be running SMS 4.1 prior to upgrade. Virtual SMS deployments also support the SMS 4.2 release. Please review the release notes for more details.
