i all have a script which prompts for computer name for all unknown computers. But i would like the same to work for Known computers instead of it reusing the information already recorded in SCCM (forget the sites thing this will be done manually by the engineer rebuilding the device when prompted for computername)
apologies if i didn't explain it very well.
-
yeah sort of, its just the How to get it to prompt if the device is already a member of SCCM so effectively renaming the device. or remove it before the main seq kicks in.
-
No basically they want it to ask every time even if the machine is known in SCCM, as our computer names reflect our sites and the engineers move them around. so when they rebuild on new site the device needs a new name, and they don't want to have to manually rename after build.

Hi
I am currently using a little script to prompt for computer name for unknown computers (has some error checking in).
but I have had a request from the business to ask for every rebuild, and obviously it won't ask if its a known computer.
any suggestions.
thanks

Yeah, adding the Capture network settings fixed it my bad

Think i just made a school boy mistake, by removing the Network Capture stage. .....

Hi we recently move from Altiris to SCCM 2012 R2,
My question is when we rebuild a device from SCCM i.e. it already exists in the domain structure in a specific OU. Should it stay in the same place. as it appears any builds i am doing, it is moving/creating them back to the 'computers' container in AD. and our engineers are moaning they have to move them back to the correct OU.
this never happened in Altirs (although i had no involvement in its management)
Thanks

Hi
we have recently moved from Altiris to SCCM. part of the Altiris suite was the ability to control the use and installation of applications. I know we can do this in Active directory but this is managed by a different team in the company (internal politics) so my question is
is there a way i can do this in SCCM or is there a 3rd party plug-in or extension i can purchase to do this for us.
any input grateful.
Thanks

all the above i am doing already but manually cherry picking updates individually for a list provided to me. in an ideal word there would be an import feature where i could generate the list from a text file of csv.
-
I have a requirement from one of our business areas to patch the machines with a very specific list of windows updates provides by a third party in a csv (list of KB’s) at the moment I am manual searching for these and adding them one by one to the software update group which as you can imagine is very long winded. can anybody think of a way I can automate this ??
thanks

Hi all,
I have recently move from SCCM 2007 to 2012. within OSD I used to deploy my drivers via a driver pack using a link to where my drivers where so no actual importing of the drivers. targeted with a WMI.
But you can't do this in 2012. so my question what it the point of driver packs. If I have to import the drivers I would then give them a category like 'HP 6460b W7x64' then I can just set up a wmi and 'Apply device drivers' task limiting the driver to the category I set earlier ?
hope you get what I mean.
Thanks Rob

thanks will try altering the GP's in the morning.

still quite new to config manager, i am in the process of setting up software update as per instructions.
My issue is, that we have had a group policy which has always blocked Windows update. (as we used Altiris client based) how does this effect configmanager
ability to deploy software updates.Do I need to set the group policy to enable updates, and if so which settings do I use.
thanks
Rob

Hi
when we are creating a ref image in MDT it is trying to install the configmanager agent via WSUS which we don't know. how do i stop it. does anybody know the KB Number for the update as the ref build is used for VDI and don't want the config manager in these ref builds.
I have looked at thte logs and it just say installing config manager.
Help
Thanks Rob
-
Thanks, for the reply, thats how i am currently doing them. i was just seeing if i could scrap MDT and just use SCCM.
Thanks for the info

Hi
new here long time reader first time poster, still very new to SCCM 2007
What i want to know is it possible to create a OSD seq and NOT include. the sccm agent/hotfix.
The reason is i want to create a ref build to be used in our Citrix VDI environment and i don't want these takking back to the config server.
Thanks

Missing Apps on DP
in Configuration Manager 2012
Posted
HI
Some bright spark turned off one of my DP's, by the time i realised it was off it had a load of missing content. (36 App's). which are showing as failed on the DP status, under monitoring. Would a content validation fix this, as i thought this only validates the existing content. This DP is a member of a DP group so would of thought it would just pick up the missing content ?
I don't really want to go into the individual packages/apps and replicate the content so any ideas would be gratefully received.
thanks
Rob
