Managing IT infrastructure using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager

The thesis deals with the issue of effective management of information infrastructure in the enterprise. Three software products are presented as a solution: Symantec Altiris IT Management Suite 7.0, LanDesk Management Suite 9.0 and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM). Their main features and options are described and then a comparison between them is made. Since the Trimo d.d. decided to use SCCM, the following chapters describe the procedures required to start using SCCM in a production environment. The procedures required for distribution of software (Microsoft Office 2010), distribution of software patches (updates) and a tool for creating reports about hardware and software inventory are presented
