Yesterday was a very nice day for the Configuration Manager community with the release of Configuration Manager 2012 RD (with FEP 2012 RC) and System Center P2V Migration Toolkit RC. Today I found out that also the release candidate of the Configuration Manager Package Conversion Manager is released. The Configuration Manager Package Conversion Manager will help you with the conversion of your legacy Configuration Manager 2012 packages. A very nice enhancement of Configuration Manager 2012.
It is a very nice day, afterI found out earlier today that the Configuration Manager P2V Migration Toolkit was released earlier this week, just a minute ago the news came that also the Configuration Manager 2012 and Forefront Endpoint Protection RC versions are released! (thanks Kent!)

Now, let’s rebuild my lab and check all the written content for the Mastering System Center Configuration Manager 2012
A couple of days ago the Configuration Manager Physical to Virtual Migration Toolkit release candidate was released. The Configuration Manager P2V Migration Toolkit is especially designed for Configuration Manager 2007 environments where there are branch offices with Configuration Manager site server hardware that needs to be reused while migrating to Configuration Manager 2012.
After a period without any Community Evaluation Program session, another session was held today. This time Eric Orman presented the latest information about the Remote Control feature in Configuration Manager 2012.
A couple of days ago I wrote a blog about the changed dates for the Configuration Manager 2012 Community Evaluation Program. Some of the planned sessions did not yet have any subject. Yesterday the CEP team announced that the subject of session next (19/10/2011) week will be “Remote Control in Configuration Manager 2012″.
Checking the dates for the Configuration Manager 2012 Community Evaluation Program today learned me that some dates are added and changed since the original list was published. Last week the session was cancelled but since then three more sessions where added to the list!
| Date | Subject |
| 10/19/2011 | Remote Control |
| 11/2/2011 | Looking Ahead to the RC |
| 11/16/2011 | Subject unknown |
Join the Community Evaluation Program or read the summary at this site after the session is being held.
It has been a while that I blogged about the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2012 integration with Configuration Manager 2012. Let’s see today how you are able to create a task sequence and what you are able to do with it.
While being on holiday I have some time to write another blog in the “The features of Configuration Manager 2012 overview”-series, this time I like to write about some less know features like Out-of-Band Management and Power Management and one of the changed features Remote Control.
