SCCM is not the Official Acronym for Configuration Manager 2007

“SCCM” is not the official acronym for Systems Center Configuration Manager 2007. "ConfigMgr" is. “SCCM” is not owned as a trademark by Microsoft and therefore we really cannot use it. But I have noticed that many people have picked up on it and continue to use it. Even me, for instance: my main blog site is named SCCMNAP.Com.

 

I added the acronyms for each of the Microsoft System Center Products I found here.

Microsoft Operations Manager—MOM

Microsoft System Center Capacity Planner—SCCP

Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager—ConfigMgr

Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager—SCDPM

Microsoft System Center Essentials—SCE

Microsoft System Center Operations Manager—OpsMgr

Microsoft System Center Reporting Manager—SCRM

Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager—SCVMM

  ConfigMgr is ConfigMgr. Nothing has changed in this respect with 2012.

  No, I am not anti-Configuration Manager, quite the opposite in fact. I am against the use of the acronym
