This document summarizes the key capabilities of System Center 2012 Configuration Manager (SCCM 2012). It outlines the improved OS deployment capabilities, including new machine, wipe-and-load, side-by-side, and in-place upgrade deployment scenarios. It describes the OS deployment architecture and driver catalog. It also discusses how SCCM 2012 embraces a more user-centric approach compared to previous versions, with a full application lifecycle model that supports install, revision, supersedence, and uninstall of applications.
Introducing Novell Privileged User Manager and Securing Novell Open Enterpris...Novell
Come to this session and see how Novell Privileged User Manager can help your organization reduce the cost, complexity and risk associated with managing superusers across the enterprise. Find out how to rapidly deploy superuser management for Novell Open Enterprise Server 2. You will see a live demo of how Novell Privileged User Manager allows you to control what commands users are authorized to run, at what time and from what location.
Maintaining deployed software systems is one of the most challenging processes in enterprise IT. As software systems are deployed, they compound management and maintenance burdens for IT personnel. Systems that are not maintained correctly can result in increased downtime and expenses. Software appliances are no different. But during this session we'll show you simple and easy it is to use the tools that help you keep your software appliances up to date. You will learn how to handle the authentication, entitlement and access controls required to distribute updates. We will show you a framework for remote appliance configuration. And finally, you will learn how to meet unique remote appliance management needs.

Using SCCM 2012 r2 to Patch Linux, UNIX and MacsLumension
Today, everything has to be patched. From desktop and laptop to server and every operating system in between. With compliance, what we have to pay attention to is what’s actually out there on our network – not just what you wish were there.
Servers (Windows, UNIX and Linux)Even Windows-centric environments have at least a few UNIX or Linux servers that need to be secure and patched. Linux and UNIX servers often fulfill critical functions with few and short maintenance windows. These can be a real pain point for admins who specialize in Windows or are managed by an entirely different admin.
Desktops (Windows and Macs)Maybe you are responsible for desktops instead of servers. Again it’s not just a Windows story any more. More and more people are opting for Macs instead of Windows. Watch the vulnerability lists and you’ll see that Macs need patching too.
The kicker though is the 80/20 rule. If at least 80% of the computers on your network are Windows and the remaining 20% are everything else – it’s a safe bet, given the maturity and ease of WSUS, that 20% of your patching effort goes to Windows but 80% of your effort is consumed with patching all the different flavors of UNIX, Linux and your Mac computers. We need one system to manage all our patches and one pane of glass to prove compliance from data center to desktop.
Believe it or not System Center 2012 R2 provides the infrastructure to do just that – it just needs a little help. Last time we showed you how you can patch 3rd party apps on Windows through System Center Update Manager. This time we’ll show you how you can patch non-Windows systems using the new System Center clients for UNIX, Linux and Mac.
