So far from a SysAdmin perspective when it comes to SCCM and Mac Management it seems like Parallels has an edge over JAMF for integration. It seems to tie in so much smoother right into SCCM itself. Integrating into SCCM looks almost seamless with reporting and being able to control the Macs. JAMF to me has always seemed to be the top tier Mac. 'System Center Configuration Manager is designed for extensibility, and the Parallels Mac Management plug-in was built to help expand and enhance System Center's management of Mac in enterprise environments.'

That being said, I used the DCM features and some creative shell scripting to be able to perform a silent install.
SCCM how to find a MAC address
Many times you need to find a computer with a specific mac address.
For example today in a customer site I was prepared to reimage a computer with no OS. I didn't se my TS for unknow computers available, that means this computer was already in SCCM but without that name or OS where to see the computer name, MAC address it was the easiest way to find the computer in SCCM and delete him from DB. So I have made a simple SCCM query to prompt MAC address and show the computer, the MAC address is in the form of ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ:ZZ
The query is:
Sccm Support For Mac Os
select distinct SMS_R_System.Name, SMS_R_System.MACAddresses from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.MACAddresses = ##PRM:SMS_R_System.MACAddresses## order by SMS_R_System.MACAddresses
