Windows management - to keep pace with updates to Windows 10.

Some core features in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager include: System Center Endpoint Protection Manager is built into System Center Configuration Manager to secure data stored on those devices. It then manages application deployments and updates on a device or group basis, allowing for automated patching with Windows Server Update Services and policy enforcement with Network Access Protection. SCCM discovers servers, desktops and mobile devices connected to a network through Active Directory and installs client software on each node. SCCM also adds tools to help IT administrators with access control. System Center Configuration Manager relies on a single infrastructure, with the goal of unifying physical and virtual clients under one umbrella. All these applications can then be managed by a single location. The SCCM integrated console enables management of Microsoft applications such as Application Virtualization ( App-V), Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (Med-V), Citrix XenApp, Microsoft Forefront and Windows Phone applications.

SCCM is part of the Microsoft System Center systems management suite. Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is a Windows product that enables the management, deployment and security of devices and applications across an enterprise. Amongst other potential uses, administrators will commonly use SCCM for endpoint protection, patch management and software distribution.
