IN DETAIL

What is SCCM?

Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM, today also MECM) is an on-premises management solution for Windows environments. It distributes software, deploys operating systems, controls updates, inventories hardware and software and provides reports.

Typical use cases

  • Larger Windows environments with complex software distribution.
  • Operating system deployment via image and task sequence.
  • Update management and compliance reports for devices in the company network.
  • Co-management with Intune as a step towards the cloud.

Benefits and limits

SCCM is powerful and proven, especially with legacy systems and detailed control. It needs its own servers, maintenance and know-how. Microsoft directs development strongly towards Intune; for new projects cloud management is worth considering.
