Microsoft System Center

We currently use Microsoft System Center to manage and image all staff and student machines in the organization. We utilize Microsoft System Center to push applications and programs to machines and keep them up to date. We also use the Windows Update Server side of System Center to keep machines up to date and compliant. We use System Center's monitoring and query ability to track machines and assets in the district as well. This allows us to identify machines as they fall out of compliance. We utilize the Remote Control aspect of Microsoft System Center to remotely assist staff and work on issues. We also use Right Click Tools to expand the functionality of Microsoft System Center to give us greater control over machines.

It is our go-to when it comes to deploying packages to the end points. It makes it easier for us to deploy Windows updates.

We use it for image deployment as well as patching our computers. Of course only the I.T. Department will use it to deploy our computers to the rest of the organization. The business problems that it addresses is having a default image for all our computers that we deploy. It makes our lives easier knowing that we can deploy our computers quickly and correctly.

We are using System Center products including System Center Configuration Manager, System Center Operations Manager & System Center Endpoint Security Manager. The role of Systems Center Configurations Manager is to deploy windows updates, operating system images & custom software packages for clients and servers, we have deployed automatic deployment rules to deploy windows updates to windows clients, for servers we deploy manually only security patches, Windows 10 and other operating systems have answer files attached to the deployment which reduce interaction with support staff. End point security manager is deployed on servers to ensure proper antivirus update and security for servers, through operations manger we have automated a lot of tasks that were previously done through group policies and task scheduling.

We use it mainly to manage our BOX servers and processes, it helps to show the logs and who has accessed the BOX recently. It makes resource management and application deployment easy. The product has saved a lot of time for our resources to automate implementations and roll our service jobs.
