system center configuration manager and mobile device management
DESCRIPTION
System Center Configuration Manager is in Gartner’s leader’s quadrant for client management tools. Why? View C/D/H’s slide deck, as we delve into SCCM's strengths and weaknesses, including how to take advantage of its feature set. And in this special, double session we'll also cover SCCM 2012's tight integration with Endpoint Protection anti-malware, and mobile device management (MDM). We know MDM is a growing concern with the consumerization of IT and BYOD. Find out how System Center and other, third-party solutions can help!

C D H Agenda
• SCCM 2012 “Big Picture”• SCCM 2012 Features• SCCM 2012 Mobile Device Management• Demonstrations throughout• Q & A
C D H SCCM 2012 “Big Picture”
• SCCM 2012 is comprehensive– Integrates with Active Directory– Integrates with Microsoft Exchange Server– Highly tuned Enterprise Management Tools
C D H SCCM 2012 Feature Set
• Systems Management/Remote Control• Inventory• Application Management• Software Metering• Software Updates• Operating System Deployment• Endpoint Protection• Mobile Device Management• Other Features
C D HSystems Management/Remote
Control
• The SCCM Client Agent• Discovery
– AD integration finds users and workstations– Software discovery finds all installed applications– Can be scheduled
• Collections– Logical units of systems for management– Users or computers
• Remote Control Tools
C D H Inventory
• Hardware Inventory– Collects detailed information about the
hardware devices in your enterprise• Software Inventory
– Collects and reports information about the files stored on client computers in your organization
• Asset Intelligence– Provides tools to collect inventory data and to
monitor software license usage
C D H Application Management
• Create Applications for Deployment– Several deployment types are supported:
• Windows Installer (.msi files)• Script Installer• Application Virtualization (App-V)• Windows Mobile Cabinet (.cab files)
– Applications are Published to Distribution Points• Distribution Points are great for WANs• Reduces latency on remote networks• Increases efficiency and speed of deployment
C D H Application Management (cont.)
• Application Advertisements– Applied to collections of systems or users– Can be scheduled– Can be set as mandatory
• How does the client know?– Software center– Application catalog (self-service website)– Policy evaluation cycle
C D H Software Metering
• Monitors software usage data– Track where software is deployed– How many users actually run the program– Whether users still use the program (lifecycle)– Which times of day a program is most used
• Increases value of expensive software• Provides a means to “true up”
– Reconcile licensing requirements for renewals– Remain compliant
C D H Software Updates
• Integrated with Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)– Leverages the client agent– No need for GPOs in this case
• Create packages of updates for deployment (just like applications)
• Updates can be configured for automatic approval – Endpoint Protection definition updates
C D H Operating System Deployment
• Creates OS images for deployment– Standardized for your organization– Reduces time to deploy or upgrade systems
• Methods for deployment– PXE-boot– Bootable media– Removable media
