I tried search the archives, and couldn't find anything.
I'm curious as to how other organizations handle their SCCM staffing. Do you
have dedicated SCCM administrators? Do you have separation of duties (patch
management, OSD, application packaging, etc.)?
We have a mix.
We have a small group dedicated to administration of SCCM. They create
deployments and maintain the infrastructure. OSD is handled by a separate
group, application packaging by another, and patch management by yet another.
SCCM Admins - keep the lights on
OSD Admins - anything
Last 3 companies, I'm it!
I think it depends on the size of the company/number of devices users, and
how many apps you're deploying. When i first started here, 8 years ago, we
easily could have used a dedicated application packager and image person, but
that has since slowed down (and the
It will depend from company to company. Most places that are larger (1000+
client) seem to have a dedicated person. Even larger orgnizations have a team
of people. IMO it's too important a product to have all your eggs in one
basket, there should at least be a backup to the main person.

We're probably a very small organization, compared to most that use SCCM.
(We used SCE until Microsoft killed it off, and it was a good fit for our
~275 users/devices.) As such, our situation is probably very different
from the average IT dept using SCCM. We have a 5 person IT dept, including
We are much like Marable's setup.
SCCM Team: everything but patching

We'll say 6 FTE's are involved since there are a few systems engineers around
the company that do their own packaging and deployment related to their apps.
Our scale is around 20K clients. Fortune
Amen!!! And it takes time to groom someone into the app. It's not something

You may have to use ServiceUI before nircmd to interactively change the
