Hassle free system management

We are using system center configuration manager for operating system deployment and have custom images created for department wise. If new PC deployment is required we are able to plug the new PC into the network and run the deployment process and the PC will install the OS and required software in less than 1 hour. We are applying patch update company wide regulatory using system center and helps keep all the system up to the date and secure. Software center used by users to request and self service software installation process which reduce the helpdesk burden.

PROS

I have experience in System Center Configuration Manager and the Operating System Deployment (OSD) has saved lot of man hours in company wide when re-configuring or deploying PCs over company. We can deploy a new PC with all relevant software and updates without single user interaction in less than 1 hour of time. The software center is a feature where users can self service software installation and OS upgrade for Windows 10 very easily.

CONS

The automated client deployment is giving trouble most of the time if the remote end is miss configured firewall or corrupted WMI. We have to sort those problems manually if we encounter such a problem.

System Center Virtual Machine Manager

PROS

The integration between windows and a hyper-v infrastructure that can scale the compute, storage and networking by using Microsoft technologies and not third party which reduces the overall licensing costs from other vendors like VMWare or Nutanix.

CONS

The powershell module to automate builds and management lacks features and needs fixes and better error checking. There are no popular modules to pick from the Powershell gallery so you have to install it from their ISO and it is very challenging to move the module to another machine for remote management.

System Center is the King of the Microsoft Systems Management

System Center is the best suite of windows management tools there is.

PROS

For over the last 10 years I've worked with pretty much all products in system center suite. Mostly with SCOM and SCCM. These Products are massive, but there is nothing better when it comes to software delivery, patching, monitoring etc. !

CONS

the learning curve of the System Center Products is steep. it takes time to master. Sometime it could get expensive to get the right people to involve in supporting and administering these products.
