Client Management Part 2

Welcome to SCCM Features and Capabilities Overview, part two of Client Management.

  • In this section we will discuss Compliance Settings, Client Health, Endpoint Protection, and Power Management

Compliance Settings

  • Let’s say that you work in a secure environment and all 1000 laptops in your organization have been upgraded to the latest version of Windows 10. You decide to disable the blue-tooth feature on all the laptops because that device could be used to transmit sensitive information outside the facility.
  • With Compliance settings you can push this out to all your laptops to make sure that they are all compliant.
  • Devices that you can configure are called Configuration Items.
  • Typically, that means that you can configure devices that are managed with or without a configuration manager installed on the device.
  • In this case we will install this configuration item on all Windows 10 computers that have the configuration manager installed.
  • This means that blue-tooth will be prohibited on every Windows 10 device in the organization that has configuration manager installed.

And that saves us a lot of work.
