Configuration Manager, which launched in 1994 as Systems Management Server (SMS), and later rebranded to System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), is an on-premise application that supports management of PCs and servers. Now part of the Microsoft Intune suite, it coexists and overlaps with the Intune app, a cloud-based endpoint management service.
Microsoft will continue to support Configuration Manager, with a focus on “security, stability, and long-term support,” said Danny Guillory, senior program manager at Microsoft. Any changes or deprecations “will be communicated well in advance,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Intune suite will receive “all future investments and innovation,” as Microsoft prioritizes its device management suite going forward.
