Advantages of Using SCCM Management

SCCM is widely used technology for maintaining a group of computers over the internet or any other type of networking. While internet is all what we think about, there is intranet and also LAN and WAN to think of. In fact, WAN can have hundreds of computers connected together and it would be a network admin’s worst nightmare to attend to those computers one by one for a group job. If an application is malfunctioning due a reason of its own, a bug or a misfiring code, and the computer is not to be blamed, it is understood that every used would face the problem. This is when a mass management of all the networked computers is necessary. This is when SCCM asset management becomes indispensable.

System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM, also known as ConfigMgr), is a Microsoft product which is freely downloadable from the official site. The site also hosts a complete range of wiki, how to, popular scripts, troubleshooting materials and tutorials for the network admins to use. Thus, with minimal amount of scripting, any network-wide update or upgrade can be pushed. This makes life very easy for the admins. They can push the updates to the complete network or can select multiple PC at once and can determine when to execute the updates. This is far better than manual attendance because often these computers are at another location, even another continent.
