Planning to Deploy MBAM with Configuration Manager

To deploy MBAM with the Configuration Manager topology, a three-server architecture, which supports 200,000 clients, is recommended. Use a separate server to run Configuration Manager, and install the basic Administration and Monitoring features on two servers, as shown in the architecture image in Getting Started - Using MBAM with Configuration Manager.

Important Windows To Go is not supported when you install the integrated topology of MBAM with Configuration Manager 2007.
