Introduction

As with all software products, you will often encounter issues during installation or while deploying to remote systems. And often, with antimalware software, there will be challenges getting it installed and configured depending on what condition the targeted machines are in. For example, if you have hundreds, or thousands, of Windows 7 machines that have been running for several years, you will probably find that a small percentage of them have different issues in the underlying Windows services that System Center Endpoint Protection will utilize and need in order to work. Luckily, when you have a powerful tool such as System Center Configuration Manager, you will most likely be able to fix these machines without running around by sending commands, scripts, or other methods to get them repaired.
