  • Since the campus' MECM environment is managed by EPS, many of the administrative MECM configurations described in the course are only accessible to EPS. That being said, understanding the concepts described in the course will help with your unit's overall use of the many features available in the product, and will also simplify troubleshooting any issues.
  • The following sections under the '1. Getting Started with SCCM' section can be skipped: 'Upgrading SCCM from previous versions' through 'Installing SCCM'.
