You can create different device collections in SCCM based upon employee or company owned Macs, then create and deliver different configuration baselines to each of the collections.
The plug-in installs directly from a Windows installer (.exe) file on the SCCM server. Then an agent is installed on each Mac that you want to manage. Similar to the way that SCCM manages PCs, the agent allows each Mac to communicate with the SCCM server.
