Microsoft SCCM – Endpoint Configuration Manager

Module 1: Introduction to Microsoft SCCM

• SCCM overview: Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager capabilities
• SCCM vs Microsoft Intune: on-premises vs cloud management
• SCCM architecture: site servers, management points, and distribution points
• Co-management: combining SCCM and Intune for hybrid management

Module 2: SCCM Installation and Site Configuration

• Prerequisites: SQL Server, IIS, and Active Directory requirements
• Installing a primary site server and configuring site system roles
• Discovery methods: Active Directory system and user discovery
• Boundaries and boundary groups: defining and associating client locations

Module 3: Client Deployment

• SCCM client installation methods: push, logon script, and manual
• Client settings: configuring agent behaviour and hardware inventory
• Client health monitoring: identifying and remediating unhealthy clients
• Workgroup and Internet-based client management

Module 4: Software Distribution

• Applications vs packages: choosing the right deployment type
• Creating applications: detection methods and deployment types
• Deploying software: required and available deployments
• Software Centre: end-user self-service software installation

Module 5: Patch Management

• Software Update Point: configuring WSUS integration
• Automatic Deployment Rules (ADR): monthly patch automation
• Software update groups and deployment packages
• Patch compliance reporting and remediation workflows

Module 6: Operating System Deployment (OSD)

• Task sequences: automating OS installation and configuration
• Boot images and OS images: WinPE and reference image management
• PXE boot: network-based OS deployment configuration
• Driver management: injecting drivers into task sequences

Module 7: Compliance and Reporting

• Configuration baselines: assessing and remediating device settings
• Compliance rules: registry, file, and script-based configuration checks
• SCCM Reporting: SQL Reporting Services and built-in reports
• Role-based administration: controlling SCCM access by role and scope

Module 8: Capstone Project and Assessment

• SCCM site setup: discovery, boundaries, and client deployment
• Software deployment and patch management configuration
• OSD task sequence build and compliance baseline project
• Final assessment and course certification

Experience in the Industry Learn from SCCM engineers who have deployed and managed Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager environments for enterprise IT teams managing thousands of Windows devices across distributed organisations.

Backgrounds at the Top Our SCCM trainers have worked at enterprise IT infrastructure teams and Microsoft partner organisations delivering SCCM implementations, migrations, and co-management configurations for large device estates.

Clear & Effective Teaching SCCM architecture, site configuration, client deployment, software distribution, patch management, OS deployment, compliance baselines, and reporting are explained with real endpoint management examples.

Hands-On Learning Focus Students install SCCM, configure discovery and boundaries, deploy clients, distribute software, manage patches with ADRs, build OSD task sequences, and create compliance baselines through structured lab exercises.

Up-to-Date Knowledge Trainers keep content current with the latest Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager releases, co-management with Microsoft Intune, Windows Autopilot integration, and evolving endpoint management best practices.
