ConfigMgr 2012: Applications that depend on this application
01 year ago
Last week I was presenting at Microsoft Campus Days in Copenhagen. During one of my presentations on Application Management using Configuration Manager 2012, I got a question on dependencies, and how to see what applications (Deployment Types) depends on a specific application, before you retire or delete an the application.
On the References tab for the application, you can see which Applications that depend on this application.
I don’t remeber who asked the question but here is the answer.
Enjoy.

Run Command Line in Task Sequence for a 64-bit OS
01 year ago
When running certain applications and commands through the “Run Command Line” task sequence in System Center Configuration Manager 2007 for a 64-bit Operating System you might find that the task will fail. This is true for applications that don’t fully support 64-bit mode. Some commands are not available by default when running in 32-bit mode, for example “manage-bde.exe” or “winsat.exe.
To work around this issue, simply disable the “64-bit file system redirection” in the task sequence when running such applications or commands.
