SCCM Vnext The Next version of SCCM 2007

The next release of Configuration Manager will focus on a few main areas:

Improving client management experiences through enhanced, integrated software distribution models. The next release of Configuration Manager will provide a framework for the right application format to be delivered to the user based on who they are, the device they are using, and their connection.
Infrastructure improvements are also a main focus. Optimizing site hierarchy, replication and content distribution on the backend. For the managed client, improving client health and remediation capabilities will ensure that when a system is managed, it remains healthy and secure. Part of this is also improving the Admin experience. In the past we did this by reducing mouse clicks to get through an activity. This is only part of the process. Adding security models to enable role based administration, as well as improving the Admin console experience will ensure that Admins are more efficient everywhere.
In addition, other areas of focus include expanding device management scenarios, model based configuration management and improving patch management services; just a few of the places we are focused on development.

ConfigMgr07 R3

ConfigMgr07 R3

There're 3 main areas of enhancement being made to the core capabilities of ConfigMgr: Delta Active directory Discovery has 2 main tasks.

Discovering changes to users or machines that may effect targeting. Also, periodic full scans capture users and machines last logged time, ensuring active users or systems aren't made obsolete.
Fast Collections – When a Collection Membership Rule is configured to dynamically add new resources, a few things happen. This applies to a few resources.

Those that're initially discovered, OSD provisioned systems, HW inventories scanned systems, or ConfgMgr Client version upgrades. Admin Console Improvements helps Administrator save time in their daily tasks. For example, new right click options off a resource to add to collection (existing) add to new collection, remove from collection and add resources, are all designed to save console steps.
