Course Overview

Administering Configuration Manager, Part I: Fundamentals and Asset Management (55313AC) by Microsoft is a comprehensive course designed for IT professionals responsible for managing enterprise device environments using Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. While no direct certification exam is tied exclusively to course 55313AC, it aligns with core competencies measured in Microsoft's modern endpoint management certifications, including those covering Microsoft Intune and Configuration Manager integration within the Microsoft Endpoint Manager suite. This training is ideal for roles such as Systems Administrators, Endpoint Management Engineers, and IT Support Specialists who manage Windows client and server environments. According to IDC’s 2024 UEM assessment, Microsoft is positioned as a Leader in the unified endpoint management market, with over 70% of enterprises using multiple UEM tools, underscoring sustained demand for Configuration Manager expertise, particularly in hybrid on-premises and cloud deployments.

The course delivers hands-on experience with key Microsoft technologies including Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (Current Branch 2203), Microsoft Endpoint Manager, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), CMPivot, CMTrace, and Active Directory integration. Students engage in structured labs within a virtualized Microsoft environment where they install and configure the Configuration Manager console, set up boundaries and boundary groups, enable hardware and software inventory collection, and deploy Configuration Manager clients across simulated enterprise networks. A key real-world scenario involves using CMPivot to perform real-time queries across client devices to assess system health and compliance, then creating dynamic collections based on the results to streamline asset management. These labs reinforce practical skills in configuring Asset Intelligence, software metering, and SSRS-based reporting to generate compliance and usage reports directly from the Configuration Manager database.

By mastering the core components of Administering Configuration Manager, Part I: Fundamentals and Asset Management (55313AC), students build a foundation for Microsoft's role-based certifications in endpoint management, which are widely recognized across enterprise IT departments. Professionals with Configuration Manager skills command strong market value, with senior endpoint engineers earning between $95,000 and $130,000 annually in North America, depending on experience and deployment scale.
