Book description
Since Microsoft introduced System Center 2012 Configuration
Manager, it has released two sets of important changes and
improvements: Service Pack 1 and R2. This comprehensive reference
and technical guide focuses specifically on those enhancements. It
offers 300+ pages of all-new “in the trenches” guidance
for applying Configuration Manager 2012’s newest features to
improve user and IT productivity across all corporate, consumer,
