System information

After Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM 2012 has been installed and configured, you
need to install the Parallels Mac Client software on Mac computers that you want to manage.
The client software can be installed on Mac computers using one of the following methods:
• Deploying via Network Discovery. This method scans your network for Mac computers and
automatically adds them to the Configuration Manager site database. Network discovery can
also perform a client push installation and enroll the Mac in Configuration Manager.
• Using an interactive installer. This type of installation is done by running an installer with a
graphical user interface.
• Using an installation script. This installation option allows to install the Mac client from the
command line. The script can be executed manually on each Mac or it can be distributed to
and executed on Macs using Apple Remote Desktop or a similar remote management
software.
The following topics describe how to use each installation method.
