Configuration Manager(ConfigMgr) is a key part of the Microsoft Intune product family, which offers an integrated solution for effectively managing all your devices.
The System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), now known as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) since 2020, is a powerful software solution developed by Microsoft to effectively aid system administrators in the management of servers and workstations within sizeable Active Directory environments.
It would be valuable to gather insights from the community to identify their favourite acronyms for ConfigMgr. I’m always trying to stick with one acronym for ConfigMgr because the community still uses SCCM as the search word.
