Managing desktops in today’s enterprise is a daunting task. Not only do IT departments face the daily management of new devices, operating systems, and applications, they must contend with mobile users, software licensing, and regulation compliance, all while ensuring that the network is continually protected from security breaches.
System Center Configuration Manager 2007 provides the control necessary to help you more effectively manage change in today’s dynamic desktop environments. It provides a comprehensive solution to assess, deploy, and update Windows clients, servers, and devices across physical, virtual, mobile, and distributed environments. And because it is built on the Windows platform, Configuration Manager is the best choice for managing your Windows clients.
Through policy-based automation, Configuration Manager lets you centrally manage the entire lifecycle of your desktops, enabling you to deploy operating systems, applications, software, and hardware updates to desktops and laptops independent of location. You also gain better control over the desktops and laptops in your enterprise with capabilities that help you ensure desktops comply with a defined desired state--enhancing availability, security and performance while streamlining your systems compliance efforts.
Through integration with Network Access Protection (NAP), Configuration Manager helps provide continuous network protection and quarantine support to ensure that computers connecting to the network meet the organization’s requirements for system health.
