The CCM Command Center is the graphical user interface that you use to manage CCM. You can simultaneously view and manage multiple CCM Configuration servers, computers, computer groups, packages, package profiles, administrators, and CCM activities. The Command Center is a Microsoft Management Console snap-in.
With CCM, you add computers to the CCM environment, then manage those computers by deploying packages to them. Packages can configure disks, install operating system and application software, configure software, or carry out actions on the managed computer.
If you're new to CCM, see Getting Started with the Command Center.
CCM 5.4.1 includes the following new features:
Every administrator account has a role that defines permissions within CCM. Predefined roles for common sets of tasks are provided, or you can define new roles. Each administrator account can be granted access to specific groups of computers. More info...
Profiles are sets of packages or hardware jobs that you assign to computers. You can copy an existing profile, or create a profile based on an existing computer's configuration. More info...
You can find computers, packages, or profiles by search string, including wildcard search. The search results are displayed in a new window, where you can work with them or create a group. More info...
Command Center can query the CCM database for managed computers with specific characteristics, and create a temporary computer group from the results. You can make the group permanent. CCM V5.4 provides a set of predefined queries, and you can create and save your own queries. More info...
If a package has an HTML-format information file, you can display it in Command Center to help with package parameter information. More info...
You can specify default values for settings of computers that will be added to a CCM server. The default values appear in the computer's Properties dialogs when you add a single or multiple computers. For example, you can set default network type to Ethernet. As with any defaults in user-editable fields, you can change the values at the time you add the computer. More info...
You can copy an existing computer to create a new computer. When you copy and paste a computer, the existing computer's packages and hardware jobs are installed on the new computer. The new computer must be given its own computer properties. More info...
Reset Computer now lets you chose whether to reassign current software and drive jobs. The "Reintegrate computer" option is no longer available, because its functionality has been incorporated into "Reset computer". More info...
