Desired Configuration (Desired Configuration Monitoring in SCCM 2007 R2)

What our Customer data tells us Operational issues account for 76% of Critical Situations (CritSits) 6% due to KNOWN bugs- already fixed 48% Misconfiguration 33% were due to Installation issues 67% POST installation ‘changes’ 22% are how-to related – poor / improper operations of the environment 3% NEW bugs 21% is everything else combined (“unclassified ” or ‘other’)

Desired Configuration Management Vision Define configuration baselines ID required and prohibited configurations Audit compliance of Windows systems Core Scenarios: Detect server configuration “drift” Improve Helpdesk troubleshooting and “time-to-resolve” Regulatory compliance reporting Change verification
