System Center 2012 - Planning Resource Discovery and Client Deployment (MOC10748.S6)

Beschreibung

You can configure the Configuration Manager resource-discovery methods to locate resources in your network environment. In this module, you will examine the discovery methods available in Configuration Manager and consider which of these discovery methods to use based on the resources you need to manage.

You can use Configuration Manager to manage computer resources by installing the Configuration Manager client on the computers that you want to manage.

Configuration Manager provides several methods for installing the Configuration Manager client on computer resources. This module covers various client-installation methods, and then examines the advantages and disadvantages of each method. You will examine how to choose the most appropriate client-installation methods to use in your organization’s environment.

Depending on the client-installation methods that you decide to use, you may be able to configure client installation properties that are applied during installation. You can configure site servers to publish client installation properties in Active Directory® Domain Services (AD DS). Configuration Manager clients use these properties after installation to identify the assigned site and locate appropriate site systems. This module discusses how to configure client-installation properties when using the client push and Group Policy installation methods.

This module also covers the Client Health feature that you can use for monitoring Configuration Manager clients. This feature can perform automatic remediation for certain client configuration issues.
