Administrative Tasks

Welcome to the SCCM Features and Capabilities Overview

• We have already talked about Asset Management now let’s get into Administrative Tasks.

So what are Administrative Tasks?

• They are common functional tasks that every SCCM admin would normally perform.

We will divide these tasks into four sub-tasks:

• The first task is Role-Based Administration
• The second task is Remote Management
• And the third task involves in-console updates
• The fourth task is Monitoring

Role-Based Administration

• SCCM gives you 15 roles that you can assign to users that will limit their permissions to only accomplish the tasks that they are qualified to complete.

• Here, I have assigned the administrator account the Full Administrator Security Roll, which grants all permissions in the configuration manager.

Remote Management

• This allows Remote control of SCCM Clients. You can use the remote control to troubleshoot hardware and software configuration issues.
• **To configure Remote control, Open Default Client **Settings, click Remote Tools, Click configure settings, and complete the setup.

From the console, you can connect to any computer that has the SCCM client installed. Here we are attempting to use the remote control to access the client SAWS01.

• In this case, SAWS01 can approve or deny this request.

**In-Console Updates **

• SCCM provides an automated method to find and install recommended updates for your configuration manager infrastructure.
• Here we have an update for Configuration Manager from 1902 to 1910.

Monitoring
