Configuration Manager 2007:
Configuration Manager 2012:
• Optimized for Systems Management
scenarios
• Challenging to manage users:
• Forced to translate a user to a device
• Explicit: run a specific program on a
specific device
• Software Distribution is a glorified script
execution.
• Still committed and focused on System
Management scenarios
• Embrace User Centric scenarios:
• Moving to a state based design, for apps,
deployments, content on DPs.
• Full application lifecycle model. Install,
Revision Mgt, Supersedence and Uninstall
• Understand and intelligently target the
relationships between user systems
• Management solution tailored for
applications
