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.
