The issue is, my customer, a large hospital system, per their corporate IT naming convention, MUST change the name of the unit to match their AD setup.

I'm trying to find a way to shim the PC name to the .exe or program file to "believe" the PC computer name is still the serial number, but the customer can change the REAL PC name to conform to their policies.

I'm no expert in this at ALL, so I'd really need someone to 2nd grade explain this. I've tried the latest ADK download with the compatibility feature enabled, and some searches say to "fix" the software using GetComputerName or SetEnvironmentVars, but none of those seem to exist or work...

If someone has a better program or method, I'm attempting to get in front of this medical device to test with soon, and would love to try any/all suggestions. 

Again, I don't write code, scripts, or dlls, so I'd need some hand holding on this if it can be done.

Thank you! 

OS C;     990 MB healthy recovery partition.   1.4GB healthy recover partition.   My issue is I can't wipe out the Two recovery partitions.  I want one huge 3GB drive.  I don't need the recover partitions.    Using Disk Management I can't delete them or partition them.  Using Diskpart I can see the Volumes but both are Hidden and I can't Unhide them.    I've googled this and I've tried doing detail partition   and set id = 07 override and nothing works.

how do I Unhide them so I can format them and use the space?

And I don't know if it's true.

But what I find annoying is the time it takes for the SCCM client to install on new machines.

I've enabled system discovery, but it still takes time for the client to install on newly discovered machines.

What I am scared of, is that theres a period where the PC is unmanaged and at risk.

The same goes for my Endpoint Protection. It installs when it likes.

I would like to them to be installed as soon as possible. i.e the first time that machines logs onto the domain.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

I am facing issue with my PXE boot. My PXE boot is working fine but it is taking only one winpe image to boot.

Can you please suggest me how to change this default image to replace with my newly created image.

I try new image in task sequence but this is not helping me to boot with new image.

Please help me on this.

Thanks,

Ganesh Prajapati

Here are some of the errors listed.

When you create more than one detection method for a deployment type, create more complex logic by grouping the clauses together.

But I cannot find anything that states HOW this is accomplished. I see the columns for the beginning and end parenthesis, but no amount of clicking or button pressing seems to enable them.

Has anyone figured this out?

One installs the Japanese language pack, the other installs the Russian language pack.

The Japanese task sequence works perfectly - language pack is installed and Windows boots with all locale settings set as JA-JP.

With the Russian task sequence, the language pack doesn't get install (and SCCM doesn't record the task sequence stop as having 'failed').

Somehow the Japanese task sequence runs in D:\ while the Russian task sequence runs in C:\

Both task sequences were created identical - with Windows installing to C:\

Even the same Sysprep file is used - just that JA-JP is replced with RU-RU.

Yet the Russian task sequence has this log entry "Unable to find the Packages.xml file, assuming there are no packages to inject." and proceeds to create (what I assume is) an empty unattend.xml - as a result, it doesn't even try to install the language pack (because the unattend.xml file doesn't tell it to).

P.S. I have another Korean task sequence (identical except for locale options) - this works perfectly fine as well

What's so strange with Russian language packs?

I'm in the process of deploying Windows 10 (x64 Enterprise Build 1809) at a customer site using Configuration Manager Current Branch (1806 + Hotfix). Office 365 Click-to-Run is a Tier 1 application that I am installing during deployment of the OS to the endpoint machine. In order to ensure the O365 C2R content is the latest "Semi-Annual Channel" version (client is bound by regulation to patch applications, so testing this with Office) I've setup the following:

• "Content" for the Application in CM is JUST setup.exe plus XML files for the install.
• Two XML files for install for two different locations (one of which is on at a low-speed WAN site).
  • Each XML refers to source content in an open share on the Distribution Point servers - one of which is at the low-speed WAN site.
• Two deployment types in the Application - one for each XML.
• Setup a Scheduled Task on the Distribution Point servers to update the share (not the Application content) on a regular basis

So my plan was then to use a "Requirement" on the application using a custom Global Condition that determines the Active Directory site (created using PowerShell). The idea then being that during deployment, the application installs using the latest available SAC version and administrators don't need to worry about the Application content being updated. And of course, the XML file then tells it to grab the content from the local site, which is highly connected.

Works wonderfully well in Software Center in my testing. BUT, doesn't seem to work in OSD Task Sequence ☹️. If I am reading error logs right, it seems as though the PowerShell in the Global Condition is not being allowed to run (even when I set Execution Policy to "Bypass" earlier in the Task Sequence. So, perhaps I am making things more complex than they should be. Simplest thing to do would be to create two separate applications using the same method (i.e. not just two deployment types) and use a Dynamic Variable in the Task Sequence that installs one or the other dependent upon gateway IP. However, throwing it out there for some thoughts on how I could do this using the multiple deployment methods on the single app.

Thanks,

Matt

I've hundreds of machines in all device collection (built in) and I have too many of them that doesn't have client installed and can't ping them also. I need query that gives me all those machines in one collection that hasn't been active in AD for... I don't know.. 60 days or so.. So I can delete them from SCCM.. Can someone help? And I would appreciate if could get query for Active computers (without sccm client installed) also. THX!!
