Using SMS 2.0 to Manage Servers in a DMZ Question

[Jpoandl]

Hi,

I'm wondering what the recommended design for SMS 2.0 is for managing computers in a DMZ?

The fear is that SMS collects IP, usernames, etc as part of its inventory procces on the clients...and that I really don't want this type of information flowing between my DMZ and Intranet.

Currently, I have an SMS site server in my DMZ. This SMS site server has an IPSEC tunnel to my intranet SMS site server. However, I'm not sure if this is a good idea.

Please let me know if there is a better solution for this type of setup.

Thank you,

IPSEC seems like a bad idea. Is anyone familiar with using RAS Senders for PPTP communication?
