They've changed the name since I was an active sysadmin, it used to be
called Software Management Server (SMS) its now called System Center
Configuration Manager (SCCM).  It also has the ability to install,
inventory, and remove software.  AD and the ability to acts a Domain
Controller are part of Windows Server, SMS was an additional product and
I think SCCM is the same.

Ah the joys of working in a Windows world.  I'm and enlisted Air Force
programmer, so I can't tell them I don't do Windows.  :(  

Speaking of which there are several jobs for Java developers here at
Maxwell AFB, AL if anyone is interested.
