SCCM system requirements
Additional storage space for the installation of Microsoft quick fix engineering (QFEs) on the thin client is the minimum system
requirement.
SCCM features
The main features of SCCM are the following:
Asset discovery
Asset inventory
Image capture
Image deployment
Software package advertisement with write filter management
SCCM prerequisites
Before working on SCCM, you must configure the following:
Active Directory (AD)—You must create an AD to add a set of thin clients.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)—You need to configure DHCP that hosts the IP that you have created.
Domain Name System (DNS)—DNS helps in creating a unique IP which is the domain IP.
Windows Deployment Services (WDS)—If enabled, WDS helps to deploy any Windows-related updates.
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)—WSUS is also used to enable the Windows-related updates.
