Today Microsoft has announced the General Availability of System Center 2012 R2.
Since yesterday System Center enthusiasts around the globe are able to download the latest binaries for Configuration Manager -and any of the other products from the System Center suite- through MSDN or Technet subscriptions. Additionally System Center 2012 R2 also popped up on the Technet Evaluation Center.
While you are waiting for your Configuration Manager download to complete also make sure to start the download of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1 . It is rather big in size and from what I’ve experienced it seems the download of the ADK is rather slow and may take some time.
For a full overview of what is new in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager have a look here.
Time to update our lab environment!
