Initial situation
The client is a company with between 150 and 200 employees that had several types of hardware: desktops, laptops, mini PCs, and servers running various operating systems Windows Server 2008, 2012, and 2016.
It had no tools for managing operating systems, machine drivers or deploying Microsoft patches.
Goal
The customer wanted to be able to manage and list their laptops, desktops, servers as well as control and deploy software, antivirus and Microsoft patches from a single console.
Given the customer's needs, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager ( SCCM) emerged as the solution.
Concept
The first step was to set up SCCM as well as all the roles necessary to manage a fleet of approximately 250 devices.
The second step involved preparing a standardized Windows 10 image for laptops and desktops, as well as the software needed for employees’ weekly work.
Ultimately, we had to create rules for automatically deploying patches Windows for Windows 10 and Windows Servers.
These rules have been configured so that Microsoft patches are applied monthly, at a set day and time. This avoids deployment during standard office hours and therefore does not impact on employee productivity.
Result
Consistent IT infrastructure: The IT infrastructure is now consistent, with a single version of Windows 10.
Easy patch deployment: With automatic deployment of Microsoft patches, the client's laptops, desktops and servers are constantly kept up to date.
Simplified Inventory: With SCCM it is now easier for customers to catalog their devices (desktops, laptops, servers, etc.), as well as the software they use and its versions.
