SCCM 2012 R2 Step by Step Guide Welcome to System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager step by step guide,SCCM 2012 R2 Step by Step Guide. Applies to System Center Configuration Manager Current Branch Following the guidance in this topic will enable you to set up a lab for evaluating Configuration. Client settings Configuration Manager. All client settings in System Center Configuration Manager are managed in the Configuration Manager console from the Client Settings node in the Administration workspace. Configuration Manager comes with a set of default settings. Remote Tools Sccm Permission' title='Remote Tools Sccm Permission' />When you change the default client settings, these settings are applied to all clients in the hierarchy. You can also configure custom client settings, which override the default client settings when you assign these to collections. For information about how to configure client settings, see How to configure client settings in System Center Configuration Manager. Many of the client settings are self explanatory.

In practice, I rarely see. Others are described here. Limit the maximum network bandwidth for BITS background transfers. When this option is True or Yes, the clients will use BITS bandwidth throttling. Throttling window start time. Remote Tools Sccm Permission' title='Remote Tools Sccm Permission' />Specify the local start time for the BITS throttling window. Throttling window end time. Specify the local end time for the BITS throttling window. If equal to Throttling window start time, BITS throttling is always enabled. Maximum transfer rate during throttling window KbpsSpecify the maximum transfer rate that clients can use during the window. Allow BITS downloads outside the throttling window. Choose this option to allow Configuration Manager clients to use separate BITS settings outside the specified window. Maximum transfer rate outside the throttling window KbpsSpecify the maximum transfer rate that clients use outside the BITS throttling window, when you have chosen to allow BITS throttling outside the window. Enables Branch. Cache on client computers. Enables peer cache for Configuration Manager clients. Then, specify port information by which the client communicates with the peer computer.

If you use a different firewall, you must manually configure rules to allow this traffic. Client policy polling interval minutesSpecify how frequently the following Configuration Manager clients download client policy Windows computers for example, desktops, servers, laptops Mobile devices that Configuration Manager enrolls Mac computers Computers that run Linux or UNIX Enable user policy polling on clients. When you set this option to True or Yes, and Configuration Manager has discovered the user, clients on computers receive applications and programs that are targeted to the logged on user. Because the Application Catalog receives the list of available software for users from the site server, this setting does not have to be True or Yes for users to see and request applications from the Application Catalog. But if this setting is False or No, the following will not work when users use the Application Catalog Users cannot install the applications that they see in the Application Catalog. Users will not see notifications about their application approval requests. Instead, they must refresh the Application Catalog and check the approval status. Users will not receive revisions and updates for applications that are published to the Application Catalog. But they will see changes to application information in the Application Catalog. If you remove an application deployment after the client has installed the application from the Application Catalog, clients continue to check that the application is installed for up to 2 days. In addition, when this setting is False or No, users will not receive required applications that you deploy to users or any other management tasks in user policies. This setting applies to users when their computer is on the intranet and the Internet. It must be True or Yes if you also want to enable user policies on the Internet. Enable user policy requests from Internet clients. When the client and site are configured for Internet based client management and you set this option as True or Yes and both of the following conditions apply, users receive the user policy when their computer is on the Internet The Enable user policy polling on clients client setting is True, or Enable user policy on clients is Yes. The Internet based management point successfully authenticates the user by using Windows authentication Kerberos or NTLM. If you leave this option as False or No, or either of the conditions fails, a computer on the Internet will receive computer policies only. In this scenario, users can still see, request, and install applications from an Internet based Application Catalog. If this setting is False or No but Enable user policy polling on clients is True or Enable user policy on clients is Yes, users will not receive user policies until the computer is connected to the intranet. For more information about managing clients on the Internet, see Considerations for client communications from the Internet or an untrusted forest in Communications between endpoints in System Center Configuration Manager. Note Application approval requests from users do not require user policies or user authentication. Default Application Catalog website point Configuration Manager uses this setting to connect users to the Application Catalog from Software Center. You can specify a server that hosts the Application Catalog website point by its Net. BIOS name or FQDN, specify automatic detection, or specify a URL for customized deployments. In most cases, automatic detection is the best choice because it offers the following benefits Clients are automatically given an Application Catalog website point from their site, if their site has an Application Catalog website point. Application Catalog website points on the intranet that are configured for HTTPS are given preference over those that arent configured for HTTPS. This helps protect against a rogue server. When clients are configured for intranet based and Internet based client management, they will be given an Internet based Application Catalog website point when they are on the Internet and an intranet based Application Catalog website point when they are on the intranet. Automatic detection does not guarantee that clients will be given an Application Catalog website point that is closest to them. You might decide not to use Automatically detect for the following reasons You want to manually configure the closest server for clients or ensure that they do not connect to a server across a slow network connection. You want to control which clients connect to which server. This configuration might be for testing, performance, or business reasons. You do not want to wait up to 2. Application Catalog website point. If you specify the Application Catalog website point rather than use automatic detection, specify the Net. BIOS name rather than the intranet FQDN. This helps reduce the likelihood that users will be prompted for credentials when they connect to the Application Catalog on the intranet. To use the Net. BIOS name, the following conditions must apply The Net. BIOS name is specified in the Application Catalog website point properties. You use WINS, or all clients are in the same domain as the Application Catalog website point. The Application Catalog website point is configured for HTTP client connections, or it is configured for HTTPS client connections and the web server certificate has the Net. BIOS name. Typically, users are prompted for credentials when the URL has an FQDN but not when the URL is a Net.
