A few weeks ago I posted and updated poster for the collection structure and naming conventions. because of the great feedback I got I have now added a new poster for objects like Task sequences, applications, packages and WIM files in the ConfigMgr Console. Additionally I have moved all posters
Since I’m working with ConfigMgr there was always the question of the staging team or end users if the staging of a device has really completed. Many years ago, I created a script which solved this question. Now I got again a few requests of customer and also discussions at
A new Storage Technology so called nonvolatile memory express (NVMe) is becoming more popular. A few Resellers even deliver their Devices with this new Technology. This Technology is much faster than the well-known SSD Technology. NVMe Disks are connected through a M.2., or either a PCI-E Interface. Windows 7
One and a half year ago I posted an article about a problem which every OSD Enginer should know. Some Windows Updates make multiple reboots and this behaviour breaks a ConfigMgr Task Sequence as described in KB2894518. Until now we had to use some workarounds to block these updates from
Today I had the problem, that the apply image step in the Task Sequence always failed for a specific hardware type (HP 840 G1). The entries in the smsts.log showed the following entries: Set command line: "OSDApplyOS.exe" /image:A01000B1,1 "/config:A0100747,Win7_x64-DE-CH.xml" /target:C: /runfromnet:False 13.02.2015 12:18:03 2028 Found run from net option: 0
Today, there was the great event of the Swiss ConfigMgr User Community in Zürich. As promised I share my slides and some of my scripts. Slides Scripts Check Domain Join (As Andrew said you can also extend it to check if the client is in the correct OU) Tattooing OSD
A new setting of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 does not allow to enable BitLocker on Tablets which have no keyboard available during Boot. It’s also not possible to enable BitLocker when they are attached to a dock or keyboard. If you try to enable BitLocker in the Operating System
Since I work with Configuration Manager, I’m not very happy with the staging process. Every Configuration Manager User knows the problem that applications are installed after the task sequence finished and the customer would like to start using his computer and nothing is displayed on the login screen of windows.
With Configuration Manager 2012 R2 new task sequence variables are introduced. Some of them are very very useful. The following variables are added: Built-in Variable Name Description SMSTSMPListRequestTimeout Use this variable to specify how much time a task sequence waits before it retries to install an application after it fails
Often I see the following issue, updates are installed during a Task Sequence, then the Task Sequence doesn’t continue after a reboot. In the smsts.log are errors like these: !sVolumeID.empty(), HRESULT=80004005 !sTSMDataPath.empty(), HRESULT=80070002 TS::Utility::GetTSMDataPath( sDataDir ), HRESULT=80070002 Failed to set log directory. Some execution history may be lost. The system
