Deploying Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM 2012
Upgrading Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM 2012
To upgrade Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft SCCM 2012 to a newer version, you need to
uninstall the current version and then install a new one. To run the uninstaller, navigate to Start >
Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program. Find Parallels Mac Management for
Microsoft SCCM 2012 in the list of installed programs and uninstall it. If you installed Parallels Mac
Management components on different servers, you need to uninstall each component individually.
Once that's done, you can install the new version of Parallels Mac Management for Microsoft
SCCM 2012. Please note that after upgrading Parallels Mac Management, you need to upgrade
Parallels Mac Client on each managed Mac. See Upgrading Parallels Mac Client (p. 49) for more
information.
Configuring Configuration Manager Boundaries
In order to install Parallels Mac Client on Mac computers, you need to configure Configuration
Manager Boundaries in the Configuration Manager console.
Boundary is a network location on the intranet that can contain one or more Macs that you want to
manage. Macs are assigned as clients to a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012
site according to the boundaries configured in the Configuration Manager console.
To create new or modify an existing boundary:
1 In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to Administration / Overview / Hierarchy
Configuration / Boundaries.
2 To create a new boundary, right-click Boundaries and click Create Boundary. To modify an
existing boundary, right-click it and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
3 On the General tab page of the boundary properties window, select the desired boundary type
and specify its value(s) so that the Macs are located within the boundary. Please note that
Parallels Mac Management supports the following boundary types:
• IP subnet
• IP address range
• Active Directory site
After you create a boundary, you need to create a boundary group and add the boundary to it.
To create a new or modify an existing boundary group:
1 In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to Administration / Overview / Hierarchy
Configuration / Boundary Groups.
2 To create a new boundary group, right-click Boundary Groups and click Create Boundary
Group. To modify an existing boundary, right-click it and select Properties from the pop-up
menu.
