Today the 10th theme of the Configuration Manager 2012 CEP was presented by Eric Orman, part of the Configuration Manager product team. This livecast session was about migrating ConfigMgr 2007 to ConfigMgr 2012. In the past the easiest way of migrating SMS 2003 to SCCM 2007 was a side by side migration.

This weekend I was flabbergasted by the email I received from Microsoft. The email stated that I was one of the winners of the Microsoft Management Summit 2011 in Las Vegas. Since TechEd last year I became part of the Community Evaluation Program of System Center Configuration Manager 2012. Attending Live Meetings and writing blogs about the new version of SCCM enabled me to enter the “Configuration Manager Community Evaluation Program Community Contest”. Thanks everybody @ the CMCEP Team!
As part of the Community Evaluation Community the 9th live meeting about System Center Configuration Manager 2012 was scheduled for today. The main subject was Mobile Device Management in SCCM 2012.
At this moment Microsoft has three major products for managing Mobile phones, Mobile Devices Management (MDM) 2008, SCCM 2007 and Exchange 2007/2010. The functionality of MDM 2008 SP1 and SCCM 2007 is combined in SCCM 2007 R3. The same functionality of SCCM 2007 R3 and some nice enhancements and new features will be available in SCCM 2012.
This blog is a summary of the CEP session about SCCM 2012 Mobile Device Management.
This weekend our partner Winworkers in Switzerland released the first public release candidate version of Winworkers MyDeploy 2010 Admin Edition (MyDeploy).

In my opinion a nice enhancement for every SCCM 2007 environment.
Managing device drivers when deploying Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 in your environment is always a lot of fun, not! For existing or new hardware you always need to identify and download the drivers from the site of the hardware manufacturer or the site of Microsoft and import them into SCCM 2007 R3.
Since September last year ENGL released a Driver Manager for SCCM 2007. With the Driver Manager you are able to automatically detect the hardware, download the corresponding drivers and create a driver package in SCCM. In this blog I will look at the ENGL Driver Manager for SCCM. Read more
