Training Course: Integrating MDM and Cloud Services with System Center Configuration Manager

Introduction

This 10-days instructor-led training course describes mobile device management (MDM) technologies and the integration of various online cloud services with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager. This course focuses on both hybrid MDM using Microsoft Intune, and the on-premises MDM scenario.

This course also covers integration with online services such as Microsoft Store for Business, Microsoft Office 365, and Microsoft Azure.

Course Objectives

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Describe the challenges in managing a mobile and Internet-based workforce and how Configuration Manager integrated with MDM and cloud services solutions can address these challenges.

• Describe and configure methods used to manage client devices that are located outside the corporate network and connected to the Internet.

• Deploy and manage Microsoft Store for Business apps by using Configuration Manager.

• Deploy and manage Office 365 apps by using Configuration Manager.

• Manage mobile devices by using Configuration Manager.

• Describe and configure a hybrid MDM scenario by using Configuration Manager and Intune.

• Enroll iOS, android, and Windows-based devices in a hybrid Configuration Manager and Intune MDM solution.

• Describe and configure on-premises mobile device management using Configuration Manager.

• Before attending this course, students must have system administrator–level working knowledge of:

• Networking fundamentals, including common networking protocols, topologies, hardware, media, routing, switching, and addressing.

• Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) principles and fundamentals of AD DS management.

• Installation, configuration, and troubleshooting for Windows-based personal computers.

• Basic concepts of PKI security.

• Basic understanding of scripting and Windows PowerShell syntax.
