System Center Orchestrator

Microsoft System Center Orchestrator is an automation software tool that allows to automate the monitoring and deployment of data center resources, for example it is capable of deploying automatically new Operating Systems or can forward alerts previously generated by System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) to an incident ticketing system like Microsoft System Center Service Manager.[1][2]

Microsoft System Center Orchestrator, also known as Microsoft SCORCH, was first introduced as part of the Microsoft System Center 2012 suite on 12 December 2012.[3] Microsoft bought in 2009 the software solution Opalis vNext[4] and rebranded it into Orchestrator. Orchestrator uses a drag and drop graphical interface to allow defining so-called run books which re translated into Windows System Commands (like for example "Read the Eventlog"), .NET scripts, PowerShell or SSH commands to automate workflows.[2]

It is capable of managing several operating systems and can handle VMware- and Citrix-based workflows. Microsoft offers add-ons for extending its functionality, including the Microsoft System Center 2012 Orchestrator Integration Toolkit and the Microsoft System Center 2012 Orchestrator Integration Pack. Those add-ons are so-called Integration Kits.

The Latest stable version is Microsoft System Center Orchestrator 2019, build number is 10.19.40.0, it was released 14 March 2019.[3]
