SCCM Lab Setup Guide

In this project, I established a comprehensive SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) lab environment to facilitate advanced software deployment, management, and reporting. The setup involved configuring SCCM on both Microsoft Azure and a local machine using Proxmox VMs, ensuring a robust and scalable test environment.

Key Tasks Included:

• Deployment and Configuration: Installed and configured SCCM, deploying essential software packages, applications, Office 365, PowerShell scripts, and Windows updates.
• Infrastructure Setup: Created boundary groups, users, and device collections to streamline management and deployment processes.
• Reporting and Analysis: Developed custom reports and queries, utilizing SQL Management Studio for in-depth reporting and analysis.
• Advanced Configurations: Created task sequences to automate deployment tasks and implemented PXE boot to facilitate network-based installations.

This project demonstrated my ability to design and implement a scalable SCCM environment, leveraging both cloud and local resources to enhance software management and deployment capabilities.

Lab Architecture:

• Domain Server: DC, DNS, DHCP
• MECM/SCCM Server: Database, MP (management point), DP (Distribution Point), SMS Provider, and SCP (Service Connection Provider)
• Client PC: Windows 10
