Client settings are used to configure your deployed agents. This is where you decide any configuration like :. In previous versions of SCCM, client settings were specific to the site. You had 1 client settings that applied to all your hierarchy. In SCCM you can specify clients setting at the collection level. You can have different settings for specific collections, overlapping settings are set using a priority setting.
When you modify the Default Client Settings , the settings are applied to all clients in the hierarchy automatically. You do not need to deploy the Default Client Settings to apply it. By default, it has a priority value This is the lower priority. All other custom client settings can have a priority value of 1 to which will always override the Default Client Settings.
The higher Priority is 1. The Technet documentation is pretty clear and many of the client settings are self-explanatory. We cannot make any recommendations either as each environment has its own needs and limitations.
When you deploy a custom client settings, they override the Default Client Settings. Before you begin, ensure that you created a collection that contains the devices that require these custom client settings. For our blog post, we will set the Client Policy polling interval to 15 minutes. When you create a new client setting, it automatically takes the next available priority.
Beginning with 1 Before deploying it, make sure that your priority is well set for your needs. A higher priority 1 will override any settings with a lower priority. Now that your client settings are created, you need to deploy it to a collection.
This new client settings will apply to only this collection and depending on the priority, will override the settings.
Client computers will apply your custom settings when they download their next client policy. You can trigger it manually to speed up the process. We already cover this in a previous article.
After you completed your SCCM installation, you certainly want to start managing some systems. This blog article will explain the various discovery methods and will describe how to configure it. SCCM discovery methods identifies computer and user resources that you can manage by using Configuration Manager.
It can also discover the network infrastructure in your environment. Discovery creates a discovery data record DDR for each discovered object and stores this information in the Configuration Manager database. When discovery of a resource is successful, discovery puts information about the resource in a file that is referred to as a discovery data record DDR.
DDRs are in turn processed by site servers and entered into the Configuration Manager database where they are then replicated by database-replication with all sites. The replication makes discovery data available at each site in the hierarchy, regardless of where it was discovered or processed.
You can use discovery information to create custom queries and collections that logically group resources for management tasks such as the assignment of custom client settings and software deployments. Computers must be discovered before you can use client push installation to install the Configuration Manager client on devices. In simple words, it means that SCCM needs to discover a device before it can manage them. The problem is that if you have a thousand computers, it can be a fastidious process.
By using Active Directory System Discovery, all your computers will be shown on the console, from there you can choose to install the client using various SCCM methods.
There are 5 Types of Discovery Methods that can be configured. Discovers computers in your organization from specified locations in Active Directory. In order to push the SCCM client to the computers, the resources must be discovered first. You can specify to discover only computers that have logged on to the domain in a given period of time.
This option is useful to exclude obsolete computer accounts from Active Directory. You also have the option to fetch custom Active Directory Attributes. This is useful if your organization store custom information in AD.
You can read our blog post concerning this topic. Discovers groups from specified locations in Active Directory. The discovery process discovers local, global or universal security groups. When you configure the Group discovery you have the option to discover the membership of distribution groups. With the Active Directory Group Discovery, you can also discover the computers that have logged in to the domain in a given period of time.
Once discovered, you can use group information for example to create deployment based on Active Directory groups. Be careful when configuring this method: If you discover a group that contains a computer object that is NOT discovered in Active Directory System Discovery, the computer will be discovered.
The discovery process discovers user accounts from specified locations in Active Directory. This is useful if your organization store custom information in AD about your users. Once discovered, you can use group information for example to create user-based deployment. Discovers Active Directory sites and subnets, and creates Configuration Manager boundaries for each site and subnet from the forests which have been configured for discovery. Using this discovery method you can automatically create the Active Directory or IP subnet boundaries that are within the discovered Active Directory Forests.
This is very useful if you have multiple AD Site and Subnet, instead of creating them manually, use this method to do the job for you. Heartbeat Discovery runs on every client and to update their discovery records in the database. Heartbeat Discovery can force the discovery of a computer as a new resource record, or can repopulate the database record of a computer that was deleted from the database. The Network Discovery searches your network infrastructure for network devices that have an IP address.
It also discovers devices that might not be found by other discovery methods. This includes printers, routers, and bridges. We never saw any customers using this method in production.
Each Configuration Manager site supports maintenance tasks that help maintain the operational efficiency of the site database. By default, several maintenance tasks are enabled in each site, and all tasks support independent schedules.
Maintenance tasks are set up individually for each site and apply to the database at that site. However, some tasks, like Delete Aged Discovery Data , affect information that is available in all sites in a hierarchy.
To enable or disable the task without editing the task properties, choose the Enable or Disable button. The button label changes depending on the current configuration of the task. When you are finished configuring the maintenance tasks, choose OK to finish the procedure. Backup Site Server : Use this task to prepare for the recovery of critical data.
You can create a backup of your critical information to restore a site and the Configuration Manager database. For more information, see our next section that covers it. Check Application Title with Inventory Information : Use this task to maintain consistency between software titles that are reported in the software inventory and software titles in the Asset Intelligence catalog. Central administration site : Enabled. The installed flag prevents automatic client push installation to a computer that might have an active Configuration Manager client.
Delete Aged Application Request Data : Use this task to delete aged application requests from the database. Delete Aged Client Download History : Use this task to delete historical data about the download source used by clients. Delete Aged Client Operations : Use this task to delete all aged data for client operations from the site database. For example, this includes data for aged or expired client notifications like download requests for machine or user policy , and for Endpoint Protection like requests by an administrative user for clients to run a scan or download updated definitions.
Delete Aged Client Presence History : Use this task to delete history information about the online status of clients recorded by client notification that is older than the specified time.
