No doubt, feature for feature sake may make a technology solution set more valuable but really how would Desired Configuration Management, aka DCM help your customers’ IT environment?
The following may help you better understand DCM.
What is DCM all about?
DCM is all about comparing a client against a given template to spot the differences. In SCCM 2007, systems (server or clients) can be compared against as many templates as useful and you will get colorful reports showing which system does not fit into which template. This helps customers to get back into compliance that might be required for various reasons. Overall, DCM can be seen as the first step to bring the SML (Service Modeling Language) to the configuration space, which is a key step in the overall Dynamic System Initiative (DSI – check out ) picture, and starts to close the integration between Visual Studio, OpsMgr 2007 and SCCM 2007.
Which configuration items are supported by DCM?
The following four configuration items are supported:
• Application Configuration item
• OS configuration item
• General Configuration item
• Software Update configuration item (you can create or edit software update configuration items with DCM as well)
Ssystems management administrators may want to identify which users are creating or modifying configuration baselines and configuration items. How would this help?
Audit status messages are automatically created for many actions when using DCM, You can use status message queries to view these messages.
