Module 1: Managing computers and mobile devices in the enterprise
This module describes the features of Configuration Manager that you can use to perform complex management tasks, including the following tasks; Hardware and software inventory, Application management, Operating system deployment, Settings management, Software update management, Remote client troubleshooting, and Protection from malware. Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (Configuration Manager) provides various features that can help you manage devices and users both on-premises and in the cloud. Organizations that use Configuration Manager find that they can provide more effective IT services in relation to software deployment, settings management, and asset management. This module introduces you to the primary features, architecture, and management tools used with Configuration Manager. This module also provides a foundation that relates to all other features and management tasks discussed in the modules that follow this one.

Module 2: Analyzing data using queries, reports, and CMPivot
The Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager database stores a large amount of data about the resources in your environment. You might not always want to perform all management tasks on all resources simultaneously. Therefore, to help you locate devices or user objects in your environment that meet specific criteria, you can create queries. You then can use these queries to create collections or to find additional information about specific resources. This module describes queries and methods of creating and running them. In addition to queries, you can run reports to view various types of information related to your Configuration Manager environment. To run Configuration Manager reports, you must install and configure a reporting services point, which this module details. This module also covers CMPivot, which allows you to collect and view real-time data on all the connected devices in your environment. It will enable you to make real-time decisions

Module 3: Preparing the Configuration Manager management infrastructure
You can manage computer and user resources within a Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (Configuration Manager) environment only when Configuration Manager has discovered these resources and assigned them to a site. In this module, you will learn about boundaries and boundary groups that help create logical network locations containing computer devices that you need to manage in your Configuration Manager infrastructure. You can use these boundary configurations for automatic site assignment and to help clients find content and services from associated site systems. You will also learn about the discovery processes that you can use to identify computers, users, and the network infrastructure within your network environment. You will then learn about collections that support logical groupings of resources. You use these groupings for management tasks, such as targeting software updates, managing application deployments, or deploying compliance settings to resources.
