The primary site that stores system-wide information and manages all sites, with any number of subsites beneath it. The central site is a primary site where all other sites in the SMS system report their inventory and events. When you build a site hierarchy, child sites report their inventory to their parent sites, the parent sites report their inventory and their child sites' inventory to their parent sites, and so on up to the central site. At the central site, you can manage software and view the inventory for any computer in any site in the SMS system. The central site is a primary site that has no sites above it.
A site that has a parent site. A child site can be a primary site that has been attached to another primary site. A child site can also be a secondary site (a secondary site is always the child site of the primary site that created the secondary site).
