About SDM Software

Since 2006, SDM Software has helped organizations keep Windows environments secure and resilient. We focus on policy-driven configurations for on-premises devices using Group Policy, for cloud-managed devices with Intune, and for any hybrid mix in between. Our extensive hands-on experience managing Windows environments ranging from 100 to 300,000+ systems makes us The Configuration Experts.

SDM Software brings advanced configuration governance to more than 700 customers worldwide, enabling their IT teams to plan, approve, test, and deploy changes with confidence. Our tools detect conflicts, surface unknown owners, and verify what actually reached endpoints. This is how we help prevent accidental or unauthorized changes that can lead to data breaches, compliance failures, or business disruption. If issues occur, IT administrators can roll back to a known-good state and quickly restore configurations. Clear audit trails show who changed what, when, and why, speeding root cause analysis and simplifying compliance.

SDM Software stands for Server and Desktop Management. It is privately held and founded by Darren Mar-Elia, a 14-time Cloud & Data Center Management Microsoft MVP and a longtime Group Policy expert known as ‘GPOGuy’. We support organizations of all sizes with easy-to-use software that protects business continuity, mitigates security risks, and makes compliance straightforward.
