After SCCM 2012 It Will Be SCCM

I think it will be easier for SCCM to name by SCCM YYMM format. I like to keep it simple. :)

SCCM 2016 Technical Preview

It was announced a month back, however I didn't have the time to try out until now. If you haven't know already, ConfigManager Vnext or ConfigManager 2016 is out for technical preview. 

You could download from MS evaluation centre (you need to register for the 60 days trial version):

And Technet document over here:

Basically for the setup I have used Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL 2014 together. Standard installation steps apply. Turn out there was a new feature which I have discovered (Basically all the entire look and feel did not changed much): 

Which I believe this OS upgrade option is inline with Windows 10 rollout. You can find out more about Windows 10 upgrade deep dive:

At the point of writing it still in technical preview phase and nothing is carved in the stone yet. Let us wait for the next version of Config Manager. 

Till then. :)
