Windows 8 GuidanceChanges in ConfigMgr 2012 Sp1 Avoid periodic CPU, disk, and network activity Implemented event-driven awareness and scheduling within ConfigMgr agent to be aware of each of these resource states. This reduces unnecessary polling, spinning, and work that cannot be performed because conditions cannot be met. Ensure that when the display is off or the user is not present, all periodic active ceases along with not adjusting system timer resolution ConfigMgr agent is resilient and will resume when out of Connected Standby. Convert background activity to tasks ConfigMgr agent will leverage Windows Automatic Maintenance as another opportunity to perform pending schedules and tasks In order to be as most energy efficient and least impactful to the user experience Optimize hot code paths for performance and ensure dependencies don't break the top 9 rules Optimized certain code paths to accomplishing the same work with less resources saves power Meets all Windows 8 engineering guidance Optimized agent - significantly reduced average memory utilization by 33%
