Microsoft’s SCCM also acts as a system manager that allows supervisors to regulate the security and deployment of applications and devices throughout the company. This allows Network Access Protection for policy enforcement and Windows Server Update Services for automatic patching. It then orchestrates application updates and deployments for individuals or groups. To achieve this, it discovers desktops, servers, and mobile devices linked to a network through Microsoft Active Directory (AD) and installs the requisite apps on each client. It also provides tools to aid IT administrators in terms of access control. System Center Configuration Manager or SCCM is reliant on single infrastructure to unify physical machines and virtual machines.

SCCM was part of the Microsoft Systems Center product suite but is now part of Endpoint Manager. Administrators typically use SCCM for endpoint protection, patching, and distributing software in bulk, among other possible use cases. System Center Configuration Manager (abbreviated as SCCM) is a product from Microsoft Windows that makes it easier to manage, deploy, and protect applications and devices in an organization. Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is an endpoint management solution for Microsoft devices, applications, and servers, which is now known as the Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager and bundled into the Endpoint Manager suite.
