SCCM licensing

[Badaz52]

Hi,

 

I would like to add SCCM to our licensing but have no idea what I need to buy. Am I right in saying that this is now part of the Systems Center 2019 family? We have 3x physical hosts,2 physical processors in each. They run a variety of server VM's. All of our client workstations are physical devices. I have had some quotes from companies but they are all giving me conflicting information.

All depends on whether you want to manage servers with it or not ......

Nope, just clients. I want more control over remote deployments etc.

What sort of MS licensing agreement do you currently have? OVS-ES / EES

ConfigMgr is no longer part of the Systems Center suite. It's now part of Microsoft Endpoint Manager.

 

Do you have OVS-ES or similar? If so, you should already be covered.

Yes, we have OVS-ES. I don't see anything in the portal which is why I assumed we don't have it.

The "Core CAL Suite" which you'll have as part of the "Windows Desktop Pack" includes a device management licence. The management server element is covered by the core based server licensing. So if you have both you're good to go.

In my VLSC it is listed as "Microsoft Endpoint Configmgr (current branch)"
