What’s Coming in System Center Configuration Manager SP2

Some new features coming along in SP2.  Usual things such as support for new operating systems but some of the main highlights:

  • Branch Cache will be supported.  This is a feature in Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 for peer to peer content distribution. Very interesting…
  • Intel AMT Integration V2.  Improvements on features in  SP1 to add full feature support for computers that have the Intel vPro chip set and iAMT firmware versions 4 and 5.
  • Did I mention Branch Cache?

Branch Cache !!! waiting since years for this feature... (I assume it does use the PeerCaching feature of BITS 3.0 which is builtin since Vista ?)

I assume it must be a bit more than that as the peercaching feature didn't make it into SCCM because of some issues with package versioning.  I assume this is a slightly more advanced technology..
