In order to manage security and malware on your client computers with Endpoint Protection, there are a few steps you must setup and configure in order to get it working in System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM).
In this chapter we assume that you have SCCM in-place and working, and that you have setup and installed the Software Update Point Role with its prerequisites like Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).
We also assume that you have planned and thought through what impact this has in your environment, and have a good understanding of how this should and will work in your Configuration Manager hierarchy.
Later in this chapter we have a topic about configuring definition updates. Please go through that to get some pointers on how you should configure definition updates depending on your kind of environment.
