Microsoft Configuration Manager
by Microsoft
Configuration Manager, once called SCCM, still runs patching and software distribution for many on-premises Windows estates. Its administration service OData API returns devices, collections, application and update deployments, hardware inventory and software update compliance. A copy in the Lake gives infrastructure and security teams a dated history of patch status per device, ready to join with vulnerability scans and ownership records.

Need more? Name any other Microsoft Configuration Manager data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- Other credentials
Microsoft Configuration Manager uses credentials of its own. The AI reads which ones from the Microsoft Configuration Manager API docs and asks you for them when the connector needs them.
04Questions
Questions you can answer.
Once Microsoft Configuration Manager data is in your Lake, ask an AI Mind in plain words or build the answer in DataPrism BI.
- Which devices are missing security updates released more than thirty days ago, grouped by collection?
- What is the success rate of each application deployment, and which device models fail most?
- Which devices in each collection fall below our minimum memory or disk space?
- Which devices have not reported hardware inventory in sixty days?
- How has the share of fully patched servers changed month over month?
05How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick Microsoft Configuration Manager.
Open Lake, pick Microsoft Configuration Manager in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the Microsoft Configuration Manager API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the Microsoft Configuration Manager documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example devices and collections), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then Microsoft Configuration Manager data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
