| SCCM Client Actions Tool – Manage Configuration Manager clients Posted: 13 Jul 2012 01:06 AM PDT SCCM Client Actions Tool or SCCM CAT is a practical and simple HTA application for performing most common day-to-day administrative tasks on System Center Configuration Manager 2007 clients. The tool allows running actions remotely on one or more computers. A list of computers can be provided either from a file (XLS, XLSX, CSV, TXT), loaded from SCCM collection or simply entered as a text into a text area. The main goal for creating this tool was to have something simple that doesn't have any prerequisites and doesn't require installation. Just pick it up and run. It's an alternative to SCCM console and right-click tools because it's not always possible to install SCCM console everywhere and manage clients in closed environments. The features are as follows: Initiate most common SCCM client schedule actions. The tasks that can be performed are classified by 5 categories: Client schedule actions Download SCCM Client Actions Tool

| Adding Roles and Features in SCCM Task Sequence Posted: 12 Jul 2012 02:21 PM PDT Should be simple. And I have done it before and it was, dead simple. This post kinda overlaps with running powershell scripts, batch files, and command lines from Task Sequence, and the example here is Roles and Features. Sticking with deploying Server 2008 R2 for simplicity, I want to add Roles and Features after the OS is installed: .NET Framework, and RDS, for XenApp Servers. Previously, you could use ServerManagerCmd.exe for this, so when deploying 2008 or earlier then you need to modify accordingly. ServerManagerCmd is deprecated in R2 so you need to use Powershell, and the servermanager module. First thing is to set the exec policy: i use a command-line step in the Task Sequence: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noprofile -command "&{Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force}" But you can also use a command line with Reg: reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Powershell\1\ShellIds\Microsoft.Powershell /v ExecutionPolicy /t REG_SZ /d Unrestricted /f Of course you need to run from command line for the posh variant because you can't use a powershell script to set the execution policy when the policy already restricts scripts from running – a chicken and egg analogy. Incidentally, the egg came first. A reptile egg presumably, but it hatched into a genetic mutation which in turn laid a mutant egg and this process eventually led to to the chicken being hatched from a non-chicken egg. So perhaps the chicken did come first then if you mean which came first, chicken or chicken's egg? Otherwise it's egg. Maybe better to think how you might get your car keys out of your locked car. That's a simpler conundrum. Anyway, onward. Another command-line: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noprofile -command "&{Import-Module -Name C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\ServerManager\servermanager.psd1;Add-WindowsFeature AS-NET-Framework -includeAllSubFeature}" The option with this last command-line is that you can put it in a script with a whole host of other post install tasks or changes, package it and call from the task sequence. Obviously your script only needs the part in the "{}". Interestingly I was getting errors last time with paths, hence the full paths to the exe and psd1, but it does work without these so long as working dir etc is correct. So that's a pretty easy way to install a role or feature. But you could also use the MDT integration with SCCM to create a MDT Task Sequence. For MDT you need to configure the MDT integration, and create an MDT Tools Package: when you create a new MDT TS you can create the Tools package in the wizard. Be careful though, for some reason if you use a standard SCCM TS and add MDT steps they don't always work. It's easier to create a whole MDT TS and modify it accordingly, particularly for Roles and Features. For installing Language Packs, you can use a standard SCCM TS and add the Use MDT Toolkit step, then Language Pack Offline step and it works fine. Not so with Roles/Features. Funny. Err on the side of caution I say, create the MDT TS and remove the extraneous steps and groups. It'll save you time. Time enough to figure out how to get your keys…  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SCCM 2012 | Native Windows Update Client Not Working Posted: 12 Jul 2012 11:46 AM PDT Hey there, are you deploying the Microsoft System Center 2012 Client to your desktops and then like magic the native Windows Client stops working? Perhaps you even checked the c:\windows\windowsupdate.log file and found this nugget:
Well then you had the same problem I did. The way I got it to work for me was by installing this hotfix from MS. In a nutshell you installed .NET 4.0 and WSUS 3.0 With SP2 (as you were required to) and BAMM! Fail. Hope it helps, if it does leave a comment, love to know when people are helped.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Facebook`s First Open Compute Project Data Center Is Now Complete Posted: 17 Aug 2012 02:09 PM PDT PRINEVILLE, Ore. -- Facebook, which is closing in on 1 billion registered users and is pounded by billions of transactions each minute, realized early on that it was going to need to build its own data centers. Its first one, located in the north central Oregon town of Prineville, about 80 miles south of the Columbia River and the Washington border, opened in May 2012 after a two-and-a-half-year construction period. It is custom-built for Facebook's purposes and uses the company's Open Compute Project architecture. Until this spring, Facebook has co-located virtually all its servers with hosting services. As part of the Open Compute Project, Facebook is publishing the specifications and mechanical designs used to construct the motherboards, power supply, server chassis as well as the server and battery cabinets for its data center. That's unprecedented enough for a company of Facebook's scale. But the social networking giant is also open-sourcing the specifications for its data center's electrical and mechanical construction. The move is somewhat surprising because Facebook so closely defends the security of its hundreds of millions of users who are interacting inside the social network's walled garden. Facebook on Aug. 16 invited a small group of journalists to tour the new facility. Other Facebook data center projects are being built in Forest City, N.C., and in Lulea, Sweden. Here in this slide show are highlights of that tour. (All photos by eWEEK Editor of Features and Analysis Chris Preimesberger.) - ...  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
