What you need for this book

Readers with experience in CM07 or CM12 will get up to speed sooner, but it isn't a requirement. However, experience is needed in the following areas:

  • Installing server features
  • Installing Windows operating systems, and installing programs (for example, what is an MSI?)
  • Finding Windows event logs
  • Navigating to an IP or UNC, HTTP versus HTTPS, and so on

You might also want to get a mobile device (Android or iOS) if you are interested in testing the mobile device management features offered by CM CB and Microsoft Intune.
