SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) is a Microsoft product designed to manage, deploy, and update devices and software throughout an enterprise. Configuration Manager will commonly use SCCM for endpoint protection (manage Windows Firewall settings on client computers), patch management, software distribution, operating system deployment, network access protection, and hardware and software inventory, among other things. It enables users to manage computer systems running Windows, macOS, Linux, and Unix, as well as mobile devices running Windows, iOS, and Android.
* SCCM was originally released in 1994 as SMS (Systems Management Server).
* SMS was renamed to SCCM in November 2007 and is sometimes referred to as ConfigMgr (Configuration Manager).
* In 2020, SCCM was renamed again as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager(MECM). Endpoint Configuration Manager 2111 is the latest version of SCCM.
