Ryan, do you mean that the business is requiring all applications (where SCCM itself is an "application") to be up and operating full time? It is possible to design ConfigMgr for high availability and redundancy, but that has real costs (time, resources, additional infrastructure management etc.) associated with it when in most situations it is not necessary. So it can be accomplished, but the question is what is driving the business requirement?

As for uptime, if your looking for uptime on the OS you might be able to pull that through inventory, but that is more the realm of Operations Manager.

We've been asked by management to submit what we're going to need to do to provide that level of uptime for all applications, and I'm not even sure if its possible with SCCM? On a similar note, how do you handle patching/reboots in that kind of environment? Right now, we have set windows each month when servers can be rebooted, but I don't think that's going to work anymore. Thanks.
