About Microsoft SCCM for Deployments

Explains System Center Configuration Manager operation, documentation, and system requirements.

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) allows you to manage software distribution to selected target systems through a remote process. For more information about this topic, go to Microsoft TechNet and search for "System Center Configuration Manager".

Before using SCCM to deploy Autodesk products, you run the Create Deployment process in the installer to create an administrative image. This image is used to create the SCCM software installation package. The software installation package contains the files and instructions for distributing the software and advertising the package to users.

Each deployment includes a folder <deployment name>\SMS_SCCM scripts, which contains four documents to help you with both SCCM deployments and uninstalling products:

• SMS_SCCM_ReadMe.docx
• <deployment name>_SCCM.txt
• Product_Uninstall_Readme.txt
• <deployment name>_Uninstall.txt

Note: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 must be installed on each target computer before using SCCM to distribute Autodesk products. Some products require .NET 4.5, which can be installed by the SCCM deployment.
