Central desktop management for Staff PC

A new Central desktop management infrastructure is ready to use which allows departments to join departmental Staff computer into the Central Windows domain (HKUCC-COM) with following benefits:

  1. Simplified email client setup – MS Outlook client is much easier to setup as those server settings can now be obtained from Active Directory
  2. Single Sign-on – second logon is not required when using the Outlook client after the user logged on the Windows using the domain credential
  3. Remote software distribution (e.g. MSOffice, Acrobat Reader) from Central SCCM server
  4. Central windows updates from SCCM server maintained by ITS

A new PC procurement option is available to be chosen from the PC tender list that your department can order desktop computer with pre-installed Windows 7 Enterprise edition (32-bit or 64-bit) which is ready to join into Central Windows domain.
