8. Configuration Manager 2007: Configuration Manager 2012:
• Optimized for Systems Management • Still committed and focused on System
scenarios Management scenarios
• Challenging to manage users: • Embrace User Centric scenarios:
• Forced to translate a user to a device • Moving to a state based design, for
apps, deployments, content on DPs.

16. Simplified administration of security permissions
Security Role
Group sets of permissions together that collectively define an
administrative span of control
e.g. Read Program + Deploy Program + Read Collection +
Advertise to Collection = Software Distribution Administrator
Supports assignment of Security Roles to Users, once in a
hierarchy
Also supports instance level controls
ConfigMgr provides out-of-the-box Security Roles
Supports custom Security Roles
Removes clutter from the console
Supports “Show me what‟s relevant to me” based on
my Security Role and Scope

17. Peter as „ConfigMgr Admin‟
has rights to entire console
Peter assigns Application
Deployment role to Meg
Meg is responsible for
deploying software
Meg has a limited view

21. Unified compliance-settings mgmt across servers, desktops laptops, and mobile
devices
Simplify administrator experience
Role-based administration built in “Compliance Settings Management Role”
Browse gold system when creating configuration items
Simplified Baseline creation experience
Re-use of settings across CI boundary
Deployment of Baselines
User and Device targeting of Baselines
Define compliance SLAs for Baseline deployments and generate Alerts
True per user evaluation and remediation
Monitoring Baseline deployment compliance status
In Console monitoring
Updated reports to include remediation, conflict and error reporting
Automatic remediation (aka DCM “set”)
CI revisioning and change control
Migration of existing Configuration Manager 2007 Baselines and CIs

27. Targeting enterprises where:
Windows clients and servers predominate
UNIX/Linux management is important due to security, regulatory
requirements
Simplification and cost drivers demand a unified management
solution
Targeting servers & server scenarios, not desktops &
client scenarios
Most comprehensive solution for heterogeneous
environments,
but is not “best-of-breed” for a specific UNIX/Linux OS
ConfigMgr for UNIX/Linux
“Just a “Best-of-
Check-Box” Breed”
