Overview of this book

It becomes important to plan, design, and deploy configurations when administrators know that Configuration Manager interacts with a number of infrastructure components such as Active Directory Domain Services, network protocols, Windows Server services, and so on. Via real-world-world deployment scenarios, this book will help you implement a single primary site or multiples sites. You will be able to efficiently plan and deploy a multiple-site hierarchy such as central administration site. Next, you will learn various methods to plan and deploy Configuration Manager clients, secure them and make the most of new features offered through ConfigMgr 1706 like compliance, deploying updates operating systems to the endpoints. Then, this book will show you how to install, configure, and run SQL reports to extract information. Lastly, you will also learn how to create and manage users access in an ConfigMgr environment By the end of this book, you will have learned to use the built-in mechanism to back up and restore data and also design maintenance plan.

Software Distributions

Software distribution is an important role for the ConfigMgr server. Starting from ConfigMgr 2012, it has been possible to deploy applications with different settings for different platforms and users. The ConfigMgr server might also check for requirements, and the deployment will take place only if these are met. The server also discovers the operating system the user is working on and is capable of releasing appropriate binary files on that computer.

Software distribution provides the following capabilities:

  • Applications: Deploy applications for operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS
  • App-V virtual environments: Deploy applications App-V and manage the virtual environment
  • Packages: Deploy packages to be compatible with earlier server versions
  • Approval requests: Manage the approval of applications requested by users
