Preface

This book might differ from other publications related to System Center Configuration Manager. It is not strictly for administrators and operators as we do not go very deep into the details of the configuration and administration of individual system components. In this book we put the emphasis on understanding what circumstances ConfigMgr can be used in, what kinds of function it may play in the environment, and what goals can be achieved. ConfigMgr is not only a system used to deploy operating systems, updates, and other software, but it is also a system of much wider scope and usage--and this is what we intended to cover.
