BETTER TOGETHER

“Better Together” is the intended strategy for Microsoft Endpoint Manager
Configuration Manager and Microsoft Azure for managing Windows 10 systems.

CLOUD MANAGEMENT GATEWAY CHOICES

One way that a CMG is more complicated though is in the multiple possible
requirements choices that you can use to fulfill the prerequisites. If you’re
not paying attention to the details in the official documentation, it’s pretty
easy to confuse the requirements, mistakenly conflate them, or miss an important
condition.

MISSING UPDATE FOLDER WITHIN AN UPDATE PACKAGE

I did some quick cleanup of the update packages in my lab the other day before
running the Automatic Deployment Rules. Unfortunately, this appears to have
deleted a source folder and distribution manager was all too happy to let me
know that the update package1Update Packages are referred to as Deployment
Packages in most places in the admin console, however, I refuse to refer to them
as such as they have no direct connection to…

BOUNDARY AND BOUNDARY GROUP IMPORT AND EXPORT

by Jason in Configuration Manager, PowerShell
Sadly, Microsoft Enterprise Manager Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) has no
built-in methods to export or import boundaries and boundary groups. This
shortcoming is reasonably easy to address with PowerShell though, so I did a
quick search on the web and found a bunch of examples for boundaries but none
for boundary groups (I didn’t look that much though). What I found though were
longer, custom scripts that only provided export capabilities. Not liking these
and thinking…

BUILDING A WINDOWS 7 IMAGE (REVISITED)

by Jason in Configuration Manager, Operating System Deployment
This is a follow-up to a previous post: Building a Windows 7 Image. Why you may
ask? Well, mainly for testing. If you are moving off of Windows 7 to Windows 10
finally, rapidly building Windows 7 is important for testing. Or, maybe you’re
just unlucky enough to still have to deploy Windows 7. Either way, here are the
updated items to slipstream into the base Windows 7 Service Pack 1 WIM image to
have…

FOUR TYPES OF WAKE-ON-LAN

by Jason in Configuration Manager
There are four types of Wake on Lan (WoL) currently in System Center
Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr/SCCM). Each operates differently and must be
accounted for at the network level for them to work.

COMMAND SYNCHRONICITY

by Jason in Configuration Manager, Software Distribution
Although Synchronicity is one one of the best songs ever from one of the best
bands ever, this post isn’t about Gordon Sumner, Stewart Copeland or Andy
Summers. This post is about two myths that folks insist on perpetuating and need
stamping out: synchronous and asynchronous command execution in Windows. These
come up in System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr/SCCM) for two main
reasons: Application-based Deployment Type Detection Methods and simple batch
file usage.

WHAT AUTOMATIC DEPLOYMENT RULES ACTUALLY DO

by Jason in Configuration Manager, Software Update Management
A common point of confusion for folks just starting with System Center
Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr or SCCM) is exactly what Automatic Deployment
Rules (ADRs) do.

SOFTWARE UPDATES AND AUTOMATIC DEPLOYMENT RULES IN CONFIGMGR

by Jason in Configuration Manager, Software Update Management
Configuring Automatic Update Rules (ADRs) in System Center Configuration Manager
(ConfigMgr or SCCM) comes up often in the forums and at customers as there is no
one, clear-cut way to configure them. Here’s a run-down of what I normally
recommend and configure:

SOFTWARE UPDATE POINT FACTS

by Jason in Configuration Manager, Software Update Management
As part of a (longish) Reddit forum thread, I posted the below facts about the
Software Update Point (SUP) role in System Center Configuration Manager
(ConfigMgr). This is not a comprehensive list of facts by any means, but there
are a lot of misconceptions and incorrect assumptions that the below facts
address and so here they are replicated (with a few slight changes and
additions) for your reading pleasure.

PER USER LOGIN MESSAGE

by Jason in Configuration Manager, Operating System Deployment, Windows
Challenge A common challenge with Windows 10 Upgrade task sequences is handling
user logins if there are any restarts during the task sequence. After the
restart happens, a user can log back into the system but has no way of knowing
that a background process (the upgrade task sequence) is running. Additionally,
after the user logs in, the task sequence progress bar may take a while to be
shown again (or may never reappear). This…

TASK SEQUENCE ONE-LINERS

by Jason in Configuration Manager, Operating System Deployment
New page added: Task Sequence One-Liners: Task Sequence One-liners page. The
page is also available as a sub-menu of the top-level Script FTW! menu of this
site. What is a One-liner? A one-liner is a single script line used to perform a
task. This page contains a collection of useful one-liners that can be directly
used as is within a Run Command-Line task sequence step. It’s important that
they are just “one-line” so that no content…

SERVICING PLANS IN CONFIGURATION MANAGER

by Jason in Configuration Manager, Software Update Management
Servicing Plans in System Center Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr/SCCM) offer
ConfigMgr admins the ability to automatically schedule the download and
deployment of Windows 10 feature updates. This post is about why you should not
be using them. Yes, that’s correct, you should not be using servicing plans to
deploy feature updates. This post isn’t about using task sequences to deploy
feature updates though, that’s the subject for a different post.
