You might want to look into SCROM 2007. Depending on your setup, it may save you the need for using PKI since it breaks things up by domain but reports back to a central location.

I have some initial questions, and I'm sure many more to follow. One of the networks I am deploying SCCM and SCOM to is spread across 3 separate domains in separate forests. I have read conflicting information on this. I know separate forests are supported but I need to know if full functionality is kept. I.e. Active Directory Discovery, Remote Tools, Inventory and if this is supported in mixed mode as I don't want to deploy PKI. The sites are reasonably small roughly 300 users per site with the largest being 1500 SCCM clients at a single site. We will only be using Software Updates, Software Deployment, Remote Tools and Inventory. I have spec'd. Total clients reporting to a single primary will be an initial maximum of 2000 SCCM Primary Sites: HP Proliant DL 380 G5's 1x Intel Xeon Quad Core 2.5GHz 8GB PC2-5300 4x 146GB 15k SAS Hot Swap Hard Disks SCCM Secondary Sites HP Proliant DL 160 G5's 1x Intel Xeon Quad Core 2.0GHz 4GB PC2-5300 4x 146GB 15k SAS Hot Swap Hard Disks Does anybody have any thoughts on my HW selection as there is no capacity planner available for SCCM and I haven't heard any real world scenarios. I'm sure they will be more than adequate but I'd welcome any feedback. Also any suggestions for SCOM hardware? Also does anybody have any useful information they could share on their deployments?
