Editor's Notes
- This slide is very popular among people who hear about Parallels Mac Management for the first time. We often hear this question: “what are the differences between Parallels Mac Management and SCCM’s native Mac management capabilities’. Some of you probably know that starting with SCCM 2012 SP1 Microsoft implemented some basic Mac management capabilities. For Microsoft Mac management is really a checkbox feature, they are not interested in promoting and supporting Macs. So we created two slides to showcase differences between Parallels Mac Management and the native Mac management in SCCM. As you can see, there are lots of red dots in the Parallels column, and not that many dots in the SCCM column.
- And continuing to the second slide, same story Parallels Mac Management is clearly offers a lot more Mac management capabilities comparing to the Microsoft’s implementation. I want to highlight the last item: Parallels Mac Management works without PKI infrastructure. One of the most common complains about Microsoft’s Mac management implementation is that it requires PKI infrastructure in order to be able to manage Macs. In case of Parallels Mac Management we support both: HTTP-only mode and HTTPS / PKI SCCM
- Fig: Sample deployment diagram in multi-site SCCM environment Let’s get technical for a moment. Parallels Mac Management consists of three core components: Parallels Proxy – this is a Windows service that acts as proxy between SCCM and managed Macs. Parallels Mac client – it enables communication between the Mac, the Proxy service and SCCM infrastructure. Note, we do not use native SCCM Mac client we have our own. And last component is SCCM Admin Console Extensions – the extensions add UI to the Admin Console that enables Mac management. As I said previously, Parallels Mac Management integrates with existing SCCM infrastructure and doesn’t require you to deploy any new servers. In most of the cases you will be installing Proxy on a server that already hosts one or several SCCM components. And, of course, the Admin Console Extensions must be installed on a computer the has SCCM Admin Console installed.
