It was conceived by Microsoft as a way to help organizations transition to Intune. A couple of years ago, Microsoft had introduced a 'comanagement' capability that permitted organizations to domain-join client devices and use either SCCM or Intune to manage them.

With the announcement of Microsoft Endpoint Manager, Microsoft signaled a change in direction on its advice to organizations with respect to Microsoft client device management products.

Which kinds of devices does the institute/facility have that need to be administrated? To qualify, you must have a current generation of BW PCs with official support for Windows 10 from the manufacturer.Įmployees have access to the Software Center from the Windows Start menu if MECM is being used at their institute/facility and their workstation is appropriately configured.'Microsoft Endpoint Manager is the convergence of Intune and ConfigMgr functionality and data - plus new intelligent actions - offering seamless, end-to-end management solution without the complexity of a migration or disruption to productivity,' explained Brad Anderson, corporate vice president of Microsoft 365, in the announcement.

Is the institute/facility already part of the University's Active Directory? This is a requirement for participation in MECM.

Is the network bandwidth sufficient for the deployment of the operating system? In this case, a Gbit connection is required.Important points to keep in mind during the planning phase: The MECM team will be happy to assist you in the planning process. Before an institute can gain access to MECM, a plan should first be drafted for how it will be organized at the institute. Every institute interested in using MECM can join.

IT representatives can request access to MECM through the IT Service.
