What is Desired Configuration Management (DCM)? DCM is a feature in SCCM that will provide a framework for assisting organizations in both defining and enforcing corporate policies and standards for system configurations, whether related to the operating system or an application installed on the system. Feature include authoring and scheduling, model-based design leveraging Service Modeling Language (SML) (a component of Microsoft's Dynamic Systems Initiative) which makes the features we're about to discuss possible. Some of the key scenarios that drove the features Microsoft delivered in the final release of DCM include: Regulatory Compliance - demonstrating regulatory compliance in system configurations. Not only deploying a compliant standard system configuration, but being able to periodically prove adherence to these policies. Pre and post change configuration - Verify that no unplanned changes took place during the implementation of a planned change. Monitoring for "
