At TechED 2010 in Berlin that the official name for the System Center Configuration Manager V.Next version will be Configuration Manager 2012! The 2012 name will also be shared with other System Center products like, System Center Operations Manager 2012, System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012.
I am so excited about these products that I have to share the “Client Management and Security Roadmap” presented at TechED. Next year will be a fantastic year for us System Center Enthusiasts. I am really looking forward to MMS 2011 in Las Vegas, with all these products coming it sure has great potential.
The Configuration Manager 2012 Beta2 TAP program is now open as well for nominations for more information see the blog post from Jeff Wettlaufer
