Configuration Manager clients and dual boot

I got a question if configuration Manager supports dual boot. And the answer to that it that Configuration Manager only supports one managed operating system per computer virtual computers excluded.

SCCM December Hotfix : Offer Status Summarizer fails to process status

Please refer to KB945898 for more information.

System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM) site servers installed prior to December 1, 2007 will fail to process advertisement status summary data, also referred to as offer status summary data. Status (.SVF) files will being to accumulate under the \inboxes\offersum.box folder on the site server. By default in a new installation this path will be \Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes\OfferSum.Box. For Site Servers upgraded from SMS 2003, the path will likely be \SMS\Inboxes\offersum.box.

Site servers installed after December 1 may not process any status messages, as the offersum.box folder does not get created, which blocks the status message system.

This occurs with either the evaluation or licensed versions of the RTM product.

If you are using the International Client Packs (ICPs), please go to the English page to download the hotfix for these files.
