1.	What Improvements Have You Made For Internet-based Client Management?
Answer» Configuration Manager contains MANY improvements since Configuration Manager 2007 to help you manage clients when they are on the Internet: Configuration Manager supports a gradual transition to using PKI CERTIFICATES, and not all clients and site systems have to use PKI certificates before you can manage clients on the Internet. The certificate selection process that Configuration Manager USES is improved by using a certificate issuers list. ALTHOUGH deploying an operating system is STILL not supported over the Internet, you can deploy generic task sequences for clients that are on the Internet. If the Internet-based management point can authenticate the user, user policies are not supported when clients are on the Internet. This functionality supports user-centric management and user device affinity for when you deploy applications to users. Configuration Manager Internet-based clients on the Internet first try to download any required software updates from Microsoft Update, rather than from an Internet-based distribution point in their assigned site. Only if this fails, will they then try to download the required software updates from an Internet-based distribution point.
