SCCM 2007 is Microsoft Enterprise System Management software. This is the next version of SMS 2003.

The main functionality is to deploy applications & OS silently to user machines. Installation and configuration of SCCM environment is quite complex and if you dont plan well, you will end up messing your organization's desktops controlled by SCCM.

You will find loads of information in technet.microsoft.com and select the System Center link. You can also enrol to the Virtual labs of technet to try your hands on this.

Anish,

SCCM is a enterprise solution to effectively pushing applications and installing an OS to any machine that is included in you network. There are far more available options to be used like patch management. (It attempts to replace WSUS console for windows updates.) It also allows you to manage mobile OS enabled devices, create custom reports for clients on the network, gather assets from network clients and much more.

We have been using this for over a year now and have had great results. This replaced our Ghost solution for package distribution and we are gearing up to have this replace ghost for imaging as well. (Unified image process to consolidate multiple images into one or two for the enterprise.)

Find more on the Technet sire for SCCM 2007. Hope this info helps.

We just implemented this product for the first time works really good its a lot to learn but once you get the Admin part down works really well. We use the Software and OS deployment piece plus the updates piece we hope to implement the APPV later next year.

It is a bad idea to post your e-mail address on the Internet. If you would like to have people send e-mail to you, enable the 'Private Messages' option in your TR profile. This will allow other members to send you e-mail without exposing your address to non-members (spammers).
