Understanding System Center Configuration Manager

The first product covered in this chapter is the System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) product shown in Figure 1.1; the current rendition is System Center 2012 Configuration Manager. SCCM is the start of the life cycle that deploys a system’s operating system as well as installs the applications onto a server or client system, and then it keeps the system patched and updated all based on common templates the IT department creates to ensure standardization from system to system.
