It relies on WSUS, but even getting WSUS properly configured has a couple of pitfalls that aren't well documented. Getting all of System Center up and running takes a lot of time and there are several "gotchas" along the way that slow you down. Recommendations to others considering the product Consider BatchPatch. It's a tiny fraction of ...

System Center Configuration Manager

What do you like best? Excellent for application deployment, patch management and hardware/software inventory. This can also do some good health and configuration checks as well as virtualized applications. SCCM is a great tool for remote management. Reports are also useful and can be customized and automated. Works great with WIndows but you need to be sure to update as new versions of Windows 10 come out this is something that administrators will need to pay attention too. What do you ...
