[Password Protect a Task Sequence?]

Is there anyway to change the pass.wsf so that when you type the password its not in cleartext but in *******?

[How can I capture Windows 7]

If you didnt already get this fixed try checking "do not reset activation flag" in the task sequence under prepare OS.

 

Got this error and it turns out ive been capturing the same image to many times

 

 

Tried this and it doesent work.

You need to add the <SkipRearm>1</SkipRearm> as described here but i dont really know how to add it to the task sequence...

[Task sequence command]

Is there a way to add a computer to a security group with the help of the windows 7 installation task sequence?

 

 

I found this when i googled abit but im not to familiar with scripts... where do i input our domain and group information?

 

 

 

Const ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND = 3

 

 

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

 

'----Get Computer DN------

Set objADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")

ComputerDN = objADSysInfo.ComputerName

strcomputerdn = "LDAP://" & computerDN

Set objADSysInfo = Nothing

 

'----Connect AD-----

Set oRoot = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE")

strDomainPath = oRoot.Get("defaultNamingContext")

Set oConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

oConnection.Provider = "ADsDSOObject"

oConnection.Open "Active Directory Provider"

 

'-----Read commandline---

Set args = WScript.Arguments

 

For i = 0 To Args.Count - 1

'wscript.echo Args.Item( i )

addgroup Args.Item( i )

next

 

 

Function Addgroup(groupname)

'----Get Group DN------

 

Set oRs = oConnection.Execute("SELECT adspath FROM 'LDAP://" & strDomainPath & "'" & "WHERE objectCategory='group' AND " & "Name='" & GroupName & "'")

If Not oRs.EOF Then

strAdsPath = oRs("adspath")

End If

 

Set objGroup = GetObject (stradspath)

Set objComputer = GetObject (strComputerDN)

 

If (objGroup.IsMember(objComputer.AdsPath) = False) Then

objGroup.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND, "member", Array(computerdn)

objGroup.SetInfo

End If

 

End Function

[Changing SCCM server]

Hi.

 

We have a SCCM server running server 2008 with SCCM sp2

But its not running to well. its slow and i constantly have to restart the WDS service when i add a new computer to install. The SCCM mmc crashes and so on.

 

I was thinking of setting up a new server running Server 2008 R2. i still wanna keep the SQL database but move that to a SQL server 2008 R2.

 

im just wondering if theres something i need to watch out for when setting up the new server or moving the database...

ive read that moving the database isnt the simplest thing but the new server should be a problem i just need to move the site settings right?
