System Center Configuration Manager
System Center Configuration Manager enables secure and scalable operating and application deployment, desired configuration management, system quarantine, and asset management of servers, desktops, and mobile devices.   New capabilities ensure that systems are checked and updated before joining the network, operating system and application deployment is greatly simplified for both new and existing systems, and configuration changes and system updates are more effectively managed regardless of location or device type, all of which enable IT managers to take control of their environment like never before.
Not only does Systems Management Server reduce the effort required to help keep user desktops secure, but it also reduces security risk because we can push out security updates much faster than before.
