With expanding technology use comes the need for increased support. For over 15 years, the University has been using Microsoft Configuration Manager, or MCM, to help with the challenges that IT administrators face when managing windows devices.
This tool is used to deploy:
- Software
- Operating Systems
- OS and software updates
- Device configuration
This tool is also used to:
