Product Overview

A member of the Microsoft System Center suite of management solutions, System Center 2012

Configuration Manager increases IT productivity and efficiency by reducing manual tasks and

letting you focus on high-value projects, maximize hardware and software investments, and

empower end-user productivity by providing the right software at the right time. Configuration

Manager helps you deliver more effective IT services by enabling secure and scalable software

deployment, compliance settings management, and comprehensive asset management of servers,

desktops, laptops, and mobile devices.

Configuration Manager extends and works alongside your existing Microsoft technologies

and solutions. For example:

Configuration Manager uses Active Directory Domain Services for security, service location,

configuration, and to discover the users and devices that you want to manage.

Configuration Manager uses Microsoft SQL Server as a distributed change management

database and integrates with SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to produce reports to

monitor and track the management activities.

Many of the Configuration Manager site system roles that provide management functionality

use the web services of Internet Information Services (IIS).

Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) and BranchCache can be used to help manage

the available network bandwidth.
