In Part 1 of the series on Parallels Mac Management for SCCM, I talked about installing the Parallels Console Extensions into your environment. In Part 2, I will install our first ‘role’ the Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy.

Parallels Mac Management for SCCM requires the installation of the proxy on a server that resides in the defined ConfigMgr boundaries. It is recommended that the SMS Provider is installed on the server that hosts the Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy. If you need assistance on installing the SMS Provider on your remote device then take a look at my blog post on how to do this. The SMS Provider is not installed then you can point the proxy to a remote SMS Provider during configuration.

A proxy should be deployed to a Primary Site, if you have Secondary Sites in your environment then you should also deploy a proxy to each of those to reduced traffic over the link and to simplify Mac Client enrollment.

The Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy is a Windows Service application that acts as a proxy been the Mac client and ConfigMgr and can be installed on devices running Windows 2008R2 and later.

Pre-Requisites

The following pre-requisites need to be installed on the server that will host the proxy:

• .Net Framework 4
• .Net Framework 3.5
• Visual C++ 2010 Redist x86 available from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=5555
• Server patched with the latest updates. For Server 2012 – if not patched then install the following:

Permissions Needed to run the Installation

The account that will install the Parallels Configuration Manager Proxy requires the following rights:

• Local Administrator on the server
• DCOM Remote Activation permission
• Full Admin rights in ConfigMgr
• Permissions in AD
  1. Open ADSI Edit by clicking Start > Administrative Tools > ADSI Edit.
  2. Verify that the following container exists: DC= / DC= / CN=System / CN=ParallelsServices.
  3. If the container above doesn’t exist, grant the user the Create All Child Objects and Read permissions on the CN=System container. When granting these permissions to the user, apply it to This object and all descendant objects.
  4. If the container exists, do the following:
     • Make sure the user have Read, Write, and Create All Child Objects permissions on it.
     • Make sure the user has the Full Control permission on the CN=ParallelsServices / PmaConfigMgrProxy- container.
  5. Verify that the DC= / DC= / CN= Program Data / CN=Parallels container exists
  6. If the container above doesn’t exist, grant the user the Create All Child Objects and Read permissions on the CN=Program Data container. When granting these permissions to the user, apply it to This object and all descendant objects.
  7. If the CN=Parallels container exists, continue with the following steps
  8. Verify that the CN=Parallels / CN=Parallels Management Suite container exists. If it doesn’t, grant the user the Create All Child Objects and Read permissions on CN=Parallels container
  9. If the CN=Parallels / CN=Parallels Management Suite container exists, make sure that the user has Read, Write, and Create All Child Objects permissions on it.
• Permissions to read/write SPN
• SQL Server dbcreator role for the account on the ConfigMgr site database – a DB called PMM_ will be created.
• Administrative Rights in Authorization Manager – if Parallels has been previously installed and the Authorization Store exists, then the user configuring the Parallels Proxy must be assigned to the Administrator role in Authorization Manager

Installation

Parallels For Mac Upgrade

Note that for the series I am going to install all the Parallels roles on a separate site system server called Parallels.

Add the .Net Framework 3.5 and 4.5 features to your server and install the required Windows Updates.

Download the Visual C++ 2010 Redist x86 and run the install.

Accept the licence agreement and click Install.

Click Finish when complete.

Run the ‘Parallels Mac Management for SCCM.exe’ installation file and when the wizard appears deselect ‘MDM Server’ and choose ‘Configuration Manager Proxy’. Click Next.

Click Install to begin the installation.

Jb hi fi au. Leave the checkbox for ‘Configure Parallels’ ticked and click Finish when complete.

At this stage the configuration of the proxy takes place. If you have installed a local SMS Provider then choose Local Server. I haven’t installed a provider and therefore I am pointing back the SMS Provider on my site server.

Next, an account needs to be assigned to run the Proxy as a Windows Service. The account must be:

• A domain user
• A local administrator
• Have the DCOM Remote Activation permission.
• Be a full ConfigMgr administrator
• If the CN=System / CN=ParallelsServices / CN=PmaConfigMgrProxy- container exists in Active Directory, the user must have Read, Write, and Create All Child Objects permissions on it
• If the container above doesn’t exist, grant the user the Create All Child Objects and Read permissions on the CN=System container. When granting these permissions to the user, apply it to This object and all descendant objects.

Specify an account and click Next.

Address any pre-requisite issues that are encountered. Here for example I had to edit the permissions to the inboxesddm.box on the site server.

Once pre-requisites are addressed the check can be Rerun with ‘Rerun’ button and the Next option should become available.

Parallels install windows 10. Parallels Toolbox for Mac and Windows 30+ tools in a lightweight, powerful, all-in-one application for Mac ® and PC. Easy to use and economical—a whole suite of tools for a fraction of the cost of individual apps, packaged in one simple interface. Shut down your virtual machine. Open virtual machine's configuration window > Hardware > CPU & Memory; Set the required amount of RAM by entering a number manually or moving the slider: NOTE: We highly recommend to keep the slider within the recommended range. Assigning more RAM than recommended may cause severe performance degradation of both Mac and virtual machine. If you have already installed Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7 on your Mac using Boot Camp, you can set Parallels Desktop to run Windows from the Boot Camp Partition or import Windows and your data from Boot Camp into Parallels Desktop as a new virtual machine.

As stated in Part 1 of the series, Parallels can run without the PKI requirements of native ConfigMgr Mac support, although the option to use HTTPS is there. I’ve selected HTTP and then clicked Next.

At this point it is possible to configure RBAC for Parallels. I have left this at default. The configuration wizard can be run again at anytime if changes are needed here. Click Next.

Now, the default ports required for communication with the ConfigMgr console and Mac clients can be altered. Click Next.

Decide whether to enroll into the Parallels CEIP program and click Next.

Click Finish on the summary screen.

Once complete you’ll be notified that the proxy settings have been updated and that you can run the wizard again at any time via the Start Menu.

If you take a look at your ConfigMgr DB you’ll notice that the PMM_ DB has been created.

Virtualization provider Parallels continues to move at record speeds as it pushes forward with updates for its PC and Mac versions of its desktop virtualization software. Parallels Workstation 2.2 for Windows and Linux and Parallels Desktop for Mac are both currently available in a release candidate version.

The PC version, Parallels Workstation 2.2, includes a number of key improvements. Perhaps one of the most asked for additions by end-users is the added guest operating system support for Windows Vista Beta 1, Beta 2, and RC1. The company also improved its support for Intel's Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) and AMD's Secure Virtual Machine Technology (SVM). These virtualization technologies help drive Parallel's virtual machine speed, performance and stability. The new version also offers improved USB support and performance, a smoother Shared Folders utility, support for Windows Mobile 2005 devices, and a redesigned, more user-friendly interface.

Microsoft For Mac Updates

The new release candidate of Parallels Desktop for Mac (build 1898) offers substantial improvement to Mac Pro and 64-bit iMac performance, eliminates those annoying kernel panics, and fixes a number of major bugs. It also offers a new tool that will help with the 2GB RAM issue. Rather than manually limiting RAM via the command line in Terminal, the tool allows the end-user to perform the same action without any command line coding. The new build also adds support for Windows Vista RC1 as a guest operating system.

The company also said that it was currently working on a new RC build of Parallels Desktop for Mac that will be compatible with any Intel-based Mac with any amount of RAM. And it could be available within the next week or two.
