  1. Hi Peter,

     

    I know that I've posted my issue twice because I realised too late that there's also a SUP subforum. But I've already report that to the moderator!?

     

    Back to topic: I don't know if it does make sense to update my third party apps via SCUP because it seems pretty complicated to me and my network with around 100 devices. To mention is that all my devices will have exactly the same configuration and software.

  2. I don't use MDT....

     

    The way to name a device which I know so far is to create a task sequence:

     

    http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5542-how-can-i-easily-prompt-for-a-computer-name-in-configuration-manager-2012/

     

    And afaik I only need to name a device once right? When I deploy the image once again it will migrate the device name. So I am only interessted in naming a device with non running OS.

  3. Due to the great tutorials on this site I could handle it to deploy Microsoft Updates.But my question atm is how to deploy software updates of non Microsoft applications?

     

    My former idea is, just to deinstall the older version od the app and install the newer one in case there is an update.

     

    Nowadays I have heard about the System Center Update Pubisher and I ask myself if it's worth to use it. It sounds pretty complicated. Has anyone some experiences with it and would you recommend it to use it?

  5. Hi anyweb,

     

    once again another great tutorial!

     

    My question: Is it possible to give the PC's the device name in this way? E.g. if I have a PC without an OS and I want to name it...can I do it by importing the computer via a csv file and set the name in it or do I have to use a task sequence to name every single PC?

     

    The disadvantage by setting the name via task sequence is that I have to type it in every time when I want deploy a OS,right?

  6. I could already find a solution for that problem! For everybody with the same issue here the solution:

     

    1. In the Configuration Manager Console, select the Task Sequence and the from Actions pane select Edit.

    2. The Task Sequence Editor will open. In the left pane select Partition Disk

    3. Double click on the first item under Volume to bring up the Partition Properties. Under Formatting options, select Quick Format and under the Advance Options in the Variable field, type BOOTPART. Click OK.

    4. Double click on the second item under Volume to bring up the Partition Properties. In the Partition options, select Use a percentage of remaining free space. The Size(%) should be set to 100. Under Formatting options, select Quick Format and under the Advance Options in the Variable field, type OSPART. Click OK.

    5. Select Apply Operating System. Change the Image drop down menu from 1-1 to 2-2. Select from the Destination drop-down menu Logical drive letter stored in variable. In the Variable name field, type OSPART. Click OK.

    6. Click on the Apply Data Image 1. Click on the Options tab and select Disable this step. Click Ok.

  7. I have captured a Win 7 system using capured media. Of course on the Win 7 system there were 2 partitions, the first one was the 100MB "hidden" partition and the second one was the rest of the hdd.

     

    How can I create such an "hidden" 100MB partition in my task sequence? I guess it should be set in the task sequence point FORMAT HARDDISK, but how to create the "hidden" one? I could create two partitions, but at the end it will appear as C: and D: in Windows GUI.

     

    Hope somebody can give me some advices!
