New Features of System Center Configuration Manager 2007
System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM 2007) enhances important capabilities of System Management Server 2003 and also includes new features to simplify OS and application software configuration, updating, and monitoring. Management included with the latest release of SCCM 2007 include:
- Integration with Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012
System Center Configuration Manager 2007 helps businesses plan and execute upgrades and installations of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012, cutting the effort needed for preparation and installation while enhancing the manageability of the datacenter. - Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 Support
Preparation, installation, and user migration is fully supported for Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. IT managers can implement bare metal, parallel, and in-place installations of Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows 7, or Windows 8. - Improved Hardware and Software Asset Intelligence
The enhanced Asset Intelligence database supports categorical tracking of installed programs. Administrators can generate reports on computer owners and meter software usage patterns. The enhanced Asset Intelligence function of SCCM 2007 also offers support for licensing reconciliation. - Desired Configuration Management
Utilizing system models called "baselines" that are available from Microsoft and third-parties or developed in-house, network managers can specify and monitor which computers have diverged from their desired states. Network administrators can use these baselines to improve security, availability, and efficiency and to enforce compliance with business policies or regulatory requirements. - Built-in Mobile Device Support
Built-in and enhanced support for managing mobility tightens security and streamlines provisioning and change management for mobile devices. System Center Configuration Manager 2007 gives highly efficient management capabilities, such as wireless updates, for businesses confronted with an ever-growing group of mobile workers. - Enhanced Operating System Image Deployment
Efficiencies added to operating system update mechanisms support OS-free, network-based, and in-situ installation. The process of image management is significantly simplified. Managers can build WIM images of an OS and related applications and deploy them using Microsoft's powerful Task Sequence engine. - Application Software Update Control
Software Update Management takes the hassle out of the task of managing updates and patches to IT systems across an enterprise. Network administrators can quickly deliver updates of applications from Microsoft and third-party publishers as well as internal line-of-business software, hardware drivers, and BIOS software to a range of devices that include desktops, laptops, servers, and handhelds. In conjunction with Microsoft Virtual Machine Manager, SCCM 2007 offers a unified mechanism for supporting physical and virtual environments. - Network Access Protection Enforcement
Network Access Protection in Windows Server 2008 is a mechanism that offers a platform for ensuring network health. NAP represents an integrated mechanism assessing the health of a computer trying to attach to a network. NAP intelligently restricts the client's connection with the network unless the presence of defined software updates has been confirmed.
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 helps provide continuous system protection and quarantine services for both perimeter and remote systems to guarantee that computers communicating on the network adhere to a company's policies for system health.
