Parallels Mac Management Component Overview
Parallels Mac Management consists of the following components:
• Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy. This is a Windows service application that acts as a
proxy between SCCM and Mac computers. The application must be installed on a computer
running Windows Server 2008 SP2 or later.
• Configuration Manager Console Extension. This component consists of a set of dynamic
libraries that extend the Configuration Manager console to provide a graphical user interface
enabling you to manage Mac OS X computers. The component must be installed on the
computer where the Configuration Manager console is running.
• NetBoot Server. NetBoot is a technology from Apple that enables Mac computers to boot
from a network. You need to install this component if you plan to deploy Mac OS X images on
Mac computers. The component must be installed on a computer running Windows Server
2008 SP2 or later.
• Parallels Mac Client. This is a client software that enables communication between the Mac
computer on which it is installed and the Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy.
