This allows you to seamlessly run in-place upgrades to newer versions of Microsoft Endpoint Manager on each of your site servers.
During setup or after setup, you’ll have the ability to let Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM) download ‘feature updates’ from the current branch. The installation media (ISO) that comes with System Center 2022 includes the stable release version 2103 (released in March of 2021). I also have a separate post about how to install System Center Operations Manager 2022 (SCOM) on Petri. Don’t let the name and version number confuse you, I’ll get to the naming changes below. In this post, I’ll be showing you how to install Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager 2103. Getting started with the Configuration Manager console.
Installing Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. Some history about System Center Configuration Manager. So as of today, Microsoft’s offering is “Endpoint Manager”, which chiefly involves Azure AD, Intune and ConfigMgr, and has expanded to include Autopilot (part of Intune) and Co-Management (using ConfigMgr and Intune together). Microsoft’s current branding puts it under their Microsoft Enterprise Mobility and Security solutions, but Microsoft Docs still separate Endpoint Manager as a sub-section of EMS. It made sense at that point to move Configuration Manager out of System Center and into MEM in 2019, since it was the chief “Endpoint Manager” tool for on-prem systems.Īs a result, the “Configuration Manager” name stayed, but because it was part of a new suite, it became known as Microsoft Endpoint Manager Configuration Manager (MEMCM).Īt some point Microsoft dropped a “Manager” from the name, referring to it as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager in the docs. Microsoft created the “ Microsoft Endpoint Manager” suite of tools centered around Intune and Azure Active Directory. Windows Intune added mobile device management and was renamed to just “Intune”. They started using the term “ Modern Management“, which just meant adding cloud-based management solutions for business systems. Around 2019, Microsoft rebranded again, reimagining their method to manage endpoints.
