7. Embracing User-CentricThe End-User of the Future

8. System and User-Centric

9. Application Model Diagram Keep your apps organized and managed Administrator Properties General information about the software application End User Metadata The “friendly” information for your users App-V Windows Script Windows Installer (MSI) Mobile (CAB) Deployment Type Workhorse for application Is app installed? Detection Method Command line and options Install Command Can/cannot install app Requirement Rules Apps that must be present Dependencies Source files for the app Content

10. Embracing User Centric: End-User Promises “A Fitting End-User Experience” Web based software catalog Easily find and request software Choose software intelligently thanks to clear, consistent and concise information about applications and their impact “The ability to define their relationships to their software” User preferences control ConfigMgr behaviors (e.g. “my business hours”) Manage impact from software installation and system restarts

11. Application Lifecycle Application Installation (beta1) Application Revision (beta1) Application Uninstall (beta2) New Application Update Application Remove Application Application Retirement (beta1) Application Supersedence (beta2) Replace Application Retire Application

12. App-V in ConfigMgr 2012

13. App-V in ConfigMgr 2012: What’s changing? Integration requires App-V 4.6 client New Application Model, User-centric features Enable support for application dependencies Improved update behaviors Selective publishing of components Dynamic Suite Support Instant icon gratification for unlock events Integration with Remote Desktop Services (TS) Content Improvements Streaming improvements Reduce virtual app footprint when using Download and Execute

14. New Administrator Experience

16. Improve discoverability

17. Only show what is relevant

18. Complete scenarios within the console

19. Simplified navigation

21. Role-Based Administration Example Peter assigns Application Deployment role to Meg Meg is responsible for deploying software Meg has a limited view

22. Client Health

23. Client Health Server-side metrics covering policy requests, HW & SW Inventory, Heartbeat, Data Discovery Record (DDRs) and Status Messages Customizable monitoring/remediation for: Client prerequisites ConfigMgr client reinstallation Dependent Windows Services WMI Repository, Namespace, Class, and Instance health evaluation and repair In-console alerts when healthy/unhealthy ratio drops below configurable threshold

24. Settings Management(aka DCM)

25. Features and Improvements Unified compliance-settings mgmt across servers, desktops laptops, and mobile devices Simplify administrator experience Role-based administration built in “Compliance Settings Management Role” Browse gold system when creating configuration items Simplified Baseline creation experience Re-use of settings across CI boundary Deployment of Baselines User and Device targeting of Baselines Define compliance SLAs for Baseline deployments and generate Alerts True per user evaluation and remediation Monitoring Baseline deployment compliance status In Console monitoring Updated reports to include remediation, conflict and error reporting Automatic remediation (aka DCM “set”) CI revisioning and change control Migration of existing Configuration Manager 2007 Baselines and CIs

26. Browse on gold system when creating CIs Scenario: Simplify configuration item creation. Design principal: Admin can create DCM setting and rule without typing by browsing gold system registry and file system, eliminating human errors. Browse local / remote machine Registry and File System only

27. Mobile Device Management

28. Mobile Device Support New: SCCM 2012 will supportthefollowingdevices: iPads iPhones Symbian Android Windows Phone 7

29. Managing users means managing beyond desktops with “Single pane of glass” administration Reaching beyond Windows platforms User Centric – Device Management “Light” Provides basic management for all Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) connected devices “Depth” Broad feature set Common administration model for mobile devices, desktops, and servers

30. Cross Platform Management

31. Who we are Targeting Targeting enterprises where: Windows clients and servers predominate UNIX/Linux management is important due to security, regulatory requirements Simplification and cost drivers demand a unified management solution Targeting servers & server scenarios, not desktops & client scenarios Most comprehensive solution for heterogeneous environments, but is not “best-of-breed” for a specific UNIX/Linux OS “Just a Check-Box” “Best-of-Breed” ConfigMgr for UNIX/Linux

32. Planned Features for UNIX/Linux Servers

33. Planned OS Platforms Supported at (Release To Web) RTW 21 Platforms supported at RTW AIX Version 7.1 (Power) Version 6.1 (Power) Version 5.3 (Power) HP-UX Version 11iv3 (IA64 & PA-RISC) Version 11iv2 (IA64 & PA-RISC) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 6 (x86 & x64) Version 5 (x86 & x64)* Version 4 (x86 & x64) Solaris Version 11(x86 and SPARC) Version 10 (x86 & SPARC*) Version 9 (SPARC) SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 11 (x86 & x64) Version 10 (x86 & x64) Version 9 (x86) * CTP Support for 3 Platforms

34. Software Updates

35. Software Updates State-based Update Groups Deploy updates individually or in groups Updates added to an update group automatically deploy to collections targeted with the group Auto Deployment Rules Use search criteria to identify class of updates to automatically deploy: category, products, language, date revised, article id, bulletin id, etc. Schedule content download and deployment based on sync schedule or define a separate schedule per rule

36. Operating System Deployment

37. Operating System Deployment Offline Servicing of Images Support for Component Based Servicing compatible updates Uses updates already approved Boot Media Updates Hierarchy wide boot media – no longer need one per site Unattended boot media mode – no longer need to press “next” Use pre-execution hooks to automatically select a task sequence – no longer see many optional task sequences USMT 4.0 - UI integration and support for hard-link, offline and shadow copy features

38. Remote Control

39. Remote Control IS BACK! Send Ctrl-Alt-Del to host device to regain previous feature parity

40. Infrastructure Changes

41. Infrastructure Promises Modernizing Architecture Minimizing infrastructure for remote offices Consolidating infrastructure for primary sites Scalability and Data Latency Improvements Central Administration Site is just for administration and reporting – Other work distributed to the primaries as much as possible File processing occurs once at the Primary Site and uses replication to reach other sites (no more reprocessing at each site in the hierarchy) System-generated data (HW Inventory and Status) can be configured to flow to the Central Administration Site directly Be Trustworthy Interactions with SQL DBA are consistent with Configuration Manager 2007 Configuration Manager admin can monitoring and troubleshoot new replication approach independently

42. Simplify Your Hierarchy Central Site Primary Primary Site Primary Primary Site Primary Site Primary Site Distribution Point Distribution Point Distribution Point Distribution Point Secondary Site Secondary Site Secondary Site

43. Simplify Your Hierarchy Primary Primary Central Administration Site Distribution Point Distribution Point Distribution Point Secondary Site Secondary Site Secondary Site

44. Infrastructure Changes: Modernizing our architecture

45. Modernizing our architecture Improved Distribution Point Groups Manage content distribution to individual Distribution Points or Groups Content automatically added or removed from Distribution Points based on Group membership Associate Distribution Point Groups with a collections to automate content staging for software targeted to the collection Enhanced investment in SQL technologies New replication methods for site to site communications Only supporting SQL Server Reporting Services
