Today I got a call from a System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM/ConfigMgr) customer that wanted to automate the creation of device collections for each SCCM client version, that was in their environment. I guess summer time means “time to cleanup/fix all the broken clients” :-)A couple of years ago I create another similar script for CU updates: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/SCCM-Creating-Collections-f334c7f0 but this time I wanted to make the script simpler, fully automated and only create the collections that was needed by the customer.This script will pull a list of all the client versions from the SCCM site server, and create a collection…
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.

The sessions was recorded (In Danish), and will be available from Microsoft soon. I will post a link to the recording when it is available. For now I have made the slides (PowerPoint) for you… Session I14: System Center Configuration Manager 2012: Application Lifecycle Management Part 1/2 Download slides here from Skydrive.

Really great post by Minfang Lv over at the System Center Configuration Manager Team Blog. Read the full post here. This post describes how and when you might see duplicate records when you use unknown computer support with Active Directory Delta-Discovery in Configuration Manager 2007 R3, what problems you might see, and some suggested workarounds. Unknown computer support is an operating system deployment feature that was introduced in Configuration Manager 2007 R2. It allows you to find unmanaged computers so that you can install an operating system on them, and optionally, install the Configuration Manager client: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc431374.aspx.

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.
Jason T. Lewis has just announced the release of System Center Updates Publisher 2011. Read the announcement here. I’m happy to announce that we have released System Center Updates Publisher 2011 to the web today. This release was primarily driven by customer feedback over the past year. It all started last year at MMS (2010) where we got a lot of great feedback regarding the existing product. Out of that feedback a plan was created to greatly improve the product for both customers and partners. Updates Publisher 2011 is packed full of new features and additions with just a few…
Friday the System Center User Group Denmark hosted a System Center focused event held in Copenhagen. The main goal for this event, was to show some of the most important news and updates from the Microsoft Management Summit 2011 in Las Vegas, to User Group Members that didn’t attend MMS. The event was very popular and we’ve received lots of great feedback. Around 65 user group members showed up for this full event day. PowerPoint slides from the event can be downloaded here, and all the pictures from the event are available on the link below. Thank you all again…
