Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager

SCCM is being used to manage users and computers. In coordination with Active Directory, software deployments, updates, device creations and deletions, user account creation, OU management, policy management are some of the activities performed through SCCM. SCCM is being used across the organization for application deployment and reimaging desktops when necessary. Multiple software installations can be performed by creating collections of computers and pushing the installations through the network. Other business problems include inventory of devices and remote connection to resolve troubleshooting matters.
  • Inventory reports can be created for specific O/S, microprocessors or connected monitors can be accomplished for annual computer refreshes.
  • Collections can be created to manage changes to multiple desktops.
  • Policies can be applied to user group for security and other purposes.
  • SCCM doesn't have some of the options that Active Directory provided for managing users or computers. It does have a great deal of flexibility and accessibility.
  • I can't provide specific numbers, but, the overall effect is tremendous. Our team is far more productive with this tool in the box.
  • SharePoint Case Management System (SCMS)
SCCM is a great tool for managing the application, computer and end-user environment. In coordination with Microsoft Active Directory, LANDESK and SQLServer most tasks are covered and easily accomplished.
