What do you call System Center Configuration Manager 2007?
Yeah — that’s quite a mouthful. Much more of a mouthful than SMS 2007 would have been. Yet, per a discussion thread on the SMS email discussion list, what you name a product and how you reference it online is a serious business.
Think about it…if everyone in the world decided to write it multiple ways, how would you find technical articles and documents in an Internet search? You’d never find them all.
For myITforum.com, I think we should stay away from using SCCM (is that pronounced schism?), or something other thing such as ConMan as someone suggested, but follow the Microsoft guidelines for posting to blogs, writing articles, etc.
So, here’s the Microsoft conventions we should all consider working with:
· System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (first use)
· Configuration Manager 2007 or Configuration Manager (subsequent uses)
· ConfigMgr (abbreviation)
