Deploying Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM 2012
Installing Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft
SCCM 2012
The installation of Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM 2012 involves installing Parallels
Configuration Manager Proxy, Configuration Manager Console Extension, and the optional NetBoot
Server. All components are installed using the same installation wizard. If you are installing all of the
components on the same computer, you need to run the wizard just once. If you are installing the
components on separate computers, run the wizard for each component individually.
Please note that Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy must be installed on each primary SCCM
site. If you have secondary sites, you have the following additional Configuration Manager Proxy
installation options:
• The Proxy is installed on both the primary and a secondary site. You can use this option to
better manage bandwidth utilization between Mac clients, Distribution Point, and Management
Point. You must install the Configuration Manager Proxy on the primary site and then on the
secondary site (in that order).
• The Proxy is installed on the primary site only. If this option is used, Mac clients will
communicate directly with the Configuration Manager Proxy installed on the primary site.
To begin the installation, run the Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM installation
program. This will open the Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM Setup wizard.
