SCCM is a computer management tool.

In this tab, you can check the update installation status events and speed up the downloading of installation packages to your computer. This is important in cases such as when you have been away from the University network for a long time or want to speed up the introduction of updates (e.g. before an important event where you do not want to be interrupted).  

When you click the Refresh policy button, the computer registers with the University’s SCCM server and downloads new updates.

The listing shows which groups you belong to at the University.

With this tool, you can create a good password with the desired attributes. 

Note the following:

• When you copy the password, a clock will start running and the password will only be available for a limited period of time (the validity period is shown in the application). At the end of this period of time, the data will be deleted from the computer’s memory (including any password possibly copied to the clipboard).
• So, be sure to copy / write down the password (e.g. in Notepad) if you want to use the password. The password cannot be recovered from anywhere later.

Tool for copying files. For example, you can copy files from your computer to a flash drive.

Instructions for using the tool can be found in the help text that appears when you click the Help button in the program.

Pro tip: After selecting the desired options, you can save the copy profile and then upload the saved copy profile later. In this way, you do not need to select the options every time you use the application.
