Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager Connector

This connector imports information on devices from Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (MS SCCM) into Alvao.

Technical requirements​

Installation​

  1. Set up Configuration Manager.
  2. In Administration - Asset Management - Settings - MS SCCM Connections add one or more connections to Configuration Manager. The connector uses direct connection to SQL database of Configuration Manager.

Database connection​

Alvao Service uses the connection string and reads the computer data directly from the SCCM database.

You need to ensure that the account under which the Alvao Service runs has the right to read data from the SCCM database. So, for example, the db_datareader role is sufficient.

Importing information from Configuration Manager​

Assign a scan profile that uses the MS SCCM or the automatically scan method to all objects in Alvao that should be updated by the information from MS SCCM.

The connector doesn't create new objects in Alvao for new devices in Configuration Manager. It only updates the existing ones.
