Create Machine variables in Configuration Manager 2012

I scripted quite a lot these last few days/weeks and needed to use, as a good scripter like me would (*g*), lots of variables.

Variables in Configuration Manager can come real handy when executing Task Sequences.

You can set variables on collections and machines.

Microsoft Configuration Manager 2012 and Powershell–Create Deployments

Hi all,

here another quick script I wrote to deploy a specified Task Sequence to a given collection.

This was a real quick one, as I could find out all the required values through WMIExplorer (thanks to http://thepowershellguy.com/blogs/posh/archive/2007/03/22/powershell-wmi-explorer-part-1.aspx ), some self-made WMI queries and SMSProv.log (always look in here for help!!!)

So here’s my script:

Microsoft ConfigMgr 2012 – Client Log Files

A lot of things changed with the coming of ConfigMgr2012 (for now it’s in the state of RC1). Loads of people already wrote articles about what cool new features and goodies came with ConfigMgr2012, I instead want to have a closer look on troubleshooting, as I am in the middle of a RC1 deployment at a customer’s site.

Log Files

If you’ve already worked with System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007, you most likely know that, if something goes wrong, then there are a lot of Log Files to look into.

SCCM – Install secondary site unattended

At a customer’s site I was asked if one could install a System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2007 site silently and unattended.

At this customer of mine there are going to be round about 170 to 180 sites and surely nobody would want to do a manual installation of all those sites. Furthermore this customer is highly automated and nearly no software is installed by hand.

How do we install a SCCM site unattended?

Hierbei geht es um RZ Ausbau, Consulting und Kundenlösungen.
