Significant changes have been made to Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager capabilities for assessing compliance, and also deployment and installation of software updates. In this session, we highlight and demonstrate key software update management improvements, including: deep integration with Windows Server Update Services; using a policy-based infrastructure to deploy software updates; better performance on clients; managing non-Microsoft software updates with the System Center Update Publisher tool; and simplifying the administrative experience of managing updates. See how software update management is integrated with other Configuration Manager features such as Network Access Protection (NAP), maintenance windows, and Internet-based clients. Finally, as your customers are considering an upgrade from Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003, transition from Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates (ITMU) and other existing scan tools is discussed.
