  2. System Center Configuration Manager 2012 announcing

  3. Agenda • Session Objective • Introduce User Centric Client Management • Provide a Technical Overview of Hierarchy Simplification • Provide an Understanding of new Security Features • Settings Management • Software Update Management

  4. System and User-Centric

  5. Embracing User Centric: Administrator Promises • Let the administrator think user first • ConfigMgr maintains relationship between users and systems to solve core user targeting • Set conditions to control installations • Schedule ‘Pre-deploy’ to users’ primary devices for WoL, off-hrs, workgroup, etc • Application model captures ‘administrative intent’ • State based, Auto revision update, Supersedence and intent (install/uninstall) based • Manage apps, not scripts • State-based – re-evaluated for presence, and if gone can be reinstalled • Requirement rules – evaluated at install time to ensure the app only installs in places it can, and should • Dependencies – Relationships with other apps that are all evaluated prior to installing anything

  6. Embracing User Centric: End-User Promises • “A Fitting End-User Experience” • Web based ‘Software catalog’ • Easily search, install or request software • Choose software intelligently: • Clear, consistent information about applications and their impact, supported by App model • “The ability to define relationships to software” • User preferences control ConfigMgr behaviors (e.g. “my business hours”) • Manage impact from software installation and system restarts

  7. User Centric Client Management: The Application Model demo

  8. Administrator Experience • Common look and feel across System Center products • Improved discoverability • Only show what is relevant to the Admin role • Complete scenarios within the console • Simplified navigation • Consolidated navigation

  9. Role-Based Administration Example ‘Read Program’‘Deploy Program’ ‘Read Collection’ ‘Advertise to Collection’ • Simplified administration of security permissions • Security Role • Group sets of permissions together that collectively define an administrative span of control • Supports assignment of Security Roles to Users • Also supports instance level controls • ConfigMgr 2012 provides default Security Roles • Supports custom Security Roles • Removes clutter from the console • Supports “Show me what’s relevant to me” based on my Security Role and Scope Software Distribution Administrator

  10. Role-Based Administration Example Jamie assigns the ‘Application Deployment’ role to Meg Meg is responsible for deploying software Meg has a limited view

  11. Role Based Administration Jamie Campbell – Application Deployment Admin Randy Remote – Remote Tools Admin Jeff Marketing Demo Guy – Custom Role demo

  12. Infrastructure Changes: Modernizing our architecture

  13. Infrastructure Changes: 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

  14. Client Health • Server-side metrics covering policy requests, HW & SW Inventory, Heartbeat 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

  15. Mobile Device Management • Extend and align mobile device management • Integration of System Center Mobile Device Manager and ConfigMgr 2007 features • Common administration for mobile devices, desktops, and servers • Introduction of cross-platform mobile device support • Enable user-centric mobile device management • Deploy applications and configuration policies to users or devices • Enable secure, compliant mobile devices • Secure over-the-air enrollment • Monitor and remediate out-of-compliance devices • Application allow/deny and configuration policies

  16. Mobile Device Management demo

  17. 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

  18. Streamlining the Software Update process with Auto Approval demo

  19. 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

  20. Settings Management • ConfigMgr 2007 could report all your setting drift – ConfigMgrv.Next can “set” for Registry, WMI and Script-Based • Improved usability in CI and baseline creation to include: • Re-use of settings across CI boundary • Define compliance SLAs for Baselines to trigger console alerts • Improved reporting to include troubleshooting, conflict, remediation • Unified settings management across servers, desktops and mobile devices • Improved CI versioning and audit tracking • Control CI versions to be used in baselines • Audit tracking, who changed what

  21. Settings Management demo

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