5. Configuration Manager 2007 Configuration Manager 2012
Optimized for Systems Management scenarios • Still committed and focused on System Management
scenarios
• Challenging to manage users • Embrace User Centric Scenarios
• Forced to translate a user to a device • Moving to a state based design, for apps, deployments,
• Explicit: run a specific program on a specific device content on DPs.
• Full application lifecycle model. Install, Revision Mgt,
Supersedence and Uninstall
• Software Distribution is a glorified script execution • Understand and intelligently target the relationships between
user systems
• Management solution tailored for applications

6. Deploy applications to users
SCCM maintains relationships

7. Requirement rules
Dependencies
Supersedence
Update an app

10. Evaluate application requirement
User Device Affinity support

11. define a relationship between a user and a device

26. Web based „Software catalog‟
User preferences to control ConfigMgr
behaviors:
“My business hours” – used to control
when to install software
Presentation mode – don‟t notify when
presenting
Remote control settings – when allowed,
end user can control their experience

27. Direct self-installation from software catalog
Request approval for software

28. Process Flow
• User clicks “install” on Catalog item
1
• Web site checks user‟s permissions to install
2
• Web site requests Client ID from ConfigMgr
3 client agent and passes it to Site server
• Server creates policy for the specified client
4 and app and passes it to client
• Client agent evaluates requirements from the
5 policy and initiates installation
• Client agent completes installation process
6 and reports status
