SCCM Report – Count All Computers by Model

Certificate Discovery Script:

$sn = '‎590000000ad02bb70017be36f700000000000a'
$storeName = "TrustedPublisher"
 
$store = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store $storeName, LocalMachine
$store.Open([System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.OpenFlags]::ReadOnly)
 
Write-Host (@( ($store.Certificates | where {$_.SerialNumber -eq $sn}) ).count)
 
$store.Close()

Simply replace the value of the $sn variable in the above script with the actual serial number of the certificate you are installing (unless you really want to check for the code signing certificate in my lab). You can easily grab this from the Details tab of the Certificate dialog in the MMC Certificates snap-in. Just copy and paste it (get rid of the intermediate spaces though).

Also, replace the value the $storeName variable if necessary. The script above checks for certificates in the Trusted Publisher store. Other possible values include My for the Personal store and Root for the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store.

Alternatively, run the following script to list the serial number from all of the certificates in the given store:

Get Certificate Serial Numbers:

$storeName = "TrustedPublisher"
 
$store = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store $storeName, LocalMachine
$store.Open([System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.OpenFlags]::ReadOnly)
 
$store.certificates | select Subject, SerialNumber
$store.Close()

For the compliance rule, select Value as the Rule type, change the operator to Greater than or equal to, and then set the value to 1.

The Remediation Script

If all we wanted was to check for compliance we could stop here, but we also want to add the certificate to the appropriate store which requires a Remediation Script.

Certificate Remediation Script:

$storeName = "TrustedPublisher"
$certString = "--Insert Base64 encoded certificate here--"
 
$store = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store $storeName, LocalMachine
$store.Open([System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.OpenFlags]::ReadWrite)
 
$certByteArray = [System.Convert]::FromBase64String($certString)
 
$cert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2
$cert.Import($certByteArray)
 
$store.Add($cert)
$store.Close()

Just like with the discovery script, update the $storeName variable appropriately. For the $certString variable, open the base64 encoded certificate file that you exported above in notepad, and then copy and paste the complete text from between the —–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—– and —–END CERTIFICATE—– markers as the value replacing the –Insert Base64 encoded certificate here– text shown above. Don’t worry about the new lines, the underlying API is smart enough to deal with those.

Alternatively, if you already have the certificate in a DER encoded binary file, you can forego exporting it. To get the base64 representation of the certificate from a DER encoded binary file, run the following (replacing the values of the Path and FilePath parameters as is appropriate). This will output the base64 representation into the specified text file where you can copy and paste it from.

Get Base64 Representation of a Certificate:

[System.Convert]::ToBase64String($(Get-Content -Path .\mycertificate.cer -Encoding Byte)) | Out-File -FilePath .\mycertificate.txt

Copy the edited script into your configuration item as the Remediation Script choosing PowerShell as the language.

Finally, add the configuration item to a compliance baseline and deploy. Make sure that you choose Run the specified script when this setting is noncompliant on the Compliance Rule you created before (this checkbox doesn’t show up until after you add a Remediation Script to the setting) and Remediate noncompliant rules when supported when creating the deployment.

• Export the list of drivers in the table form to a text file using the command:
  dism /online /get-drivers /format:table > c:\drivers.txt

Now you can delete all unnecessary drivers with the help of command pnputil.exe /d oemNN.inf (NN — is a number of drivers file package from drivers.txt, as example oem02.inf). In case the driver is in use, you will see an error while trying delete it.

Add Force to force uninstall it.

How To Create an SCCM Device Collection Showing New Machines

It is not recommend to query against the tables directly, this can lead to table locking issues.

It is recommend that you always query against the views, on top of that I would not use the Installed Software for OS info. I would use the v_GS_OPERATING_SYSTEM for this.

Run the following query against your CM DB with SQL Server Management Studio

select

      OS.Caption0,

      OS.OSLanguage0,

      Count(*)

from

      dbo.v_GS_OPERATING_SYSTEM OS

group by

      OS.Caption0,

Update guide for testing

1. Verify existing Office version

Open Word go to File > Account

2. Open CMD and Run the config command

“C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe” /changesetting Channel=Insiders

3. Enforce the new config

“C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\OfficeC2RClient.exe” /update user updatepromptuser=true forceappshutdown=true displaylevel=true

4. Install the updates

5. Installer will close running Office apps

6. Sign out Windows

7. Log back in and Launch Word

8. Verify Office Version

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/name-change

Office 365 ProPlus is being renamed to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. To learn more about this name change, read this blog post. In our documentation, we’ll usually just refer to it as Microsoft 365 Apps.

Office 365 ProPlus is the version of Office that comes with several enterprise, government, and education subscription plans. For example, Office 365 E5 and Office 365 A3. Even though those plans aren’t being renamed, Office 365 ProPlus that comes with those plans will be renamed.

When does the new name take effect?

The new name will appear in Version 2004 onwards, starting on April 21, 2020. For example, you’ll see the new name under the Product Information section when you go to File > Account in an Office app, such as Word.

Older versions of Office 365 ProPlus won’t be updated with the new name. For example, if you’re using Version 1908 of Semi-Annual Channel, you’ll still see Office 365 ProPlus under the Product Information section.

References to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise will begin to appear on April 21 in other places as well. For example, references on product websites, in documentation, and in the user interface (UI) of deployment tools, such as the Office Customization Tool. Some references to the new name might not occur until after April 21.

What do admins need to do?

Because of this name change, you might need to adjust some of your existing workflows and update your internal documentation.

Office Deployment Tool

If you use the Office Deployment Tool to deploy Office 365 ProPlus, the product ID will remain as O365ProPlusRetail. Therefore, you don’t have to make any changes to your existing configuration.xml files.

Update packages used by Configuration Manager

If you use an automatic deployment rule (ADR) to deploy updates by using Configuration Manager, you’ll need to make changes to your ADRs if they rely on the “Title” property. That’s because the name of update packages in the Microsoft Update Catalog is changing.

Currently, the title of an update package for Office 365 ProPlus begins with “Office 365 Client Update” as seen in the following example:

    Office 365 Client Update – Semi-annual Channel Version 1908 for x64 based Edition (Build 11929.20648)

For update packages released on and after June 9, the title will begin with “Microsoft 365 Apps Update” as seen in the following example:

    Microsoft 365 Apps Update – Semi-annual Channel Version 1908 for x64 based Edition (Build 11929.50000)

Registry key values

Some registry key values might change to reflect the new naming. If you rely on these values in your workflows or scripts, you’ll want to test your workflows or scripts when the name change begins rolling out on April 21. In general, because registry key values can possibly change in future builds of Office, we don’t usually recommend relying on them in your workflows or scripts.

Accessing environment variables in PowerShell is easy, either:

dir env:

to view all of them, or:

dir env:ProgramFiles

to access a specific one. However, if you try that for the ProgramFiles(x86) environment variable you are greeted with the following error:view sourceprint?

PS C:\> dir env:ProgramFiles(x86)

x86 : The term 'x86' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the

path is correct and try again.

There are a few ways around this:

1)

dir env:ProgramFiles`(x86`)

2)

dir "env:ProgramFiles(x86)"

3)

${Env:ProgramFiles(x86)}

4)

[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("ProgramFiles(x86)")

If it is a traditional PC BIOS then the ISO uses the El Torito boot code (etfsboot.com). In this case deleting \boot\bootfix.bin will work.

If it is an EFI BIOS then the ISO should use EFI boot code (efisys.bin).
There is also a efisys_noprompt.bin boot code file that can be used when creating the ISO for EFI systems.
Use that file instead if you want to eliminate the prompt.

Unlike on Linux, when MySQL is running on Windows, most of sys-admins including myself 🙂 found that backup MySQL Databases on Windows is little bit hard. When trying to automate it, then it would definitely become challenge . However there are lots of free and commercial tools are available to automate MySQL backup process on windows. Here we are going to discus how to achieve same using simple windows batch script. Later we discuss automate the batch script using Windows task scheduler

01) Create batch file

Open notepad and save following script as batch file (.bat) and make sure to change all SET parameters as you need. If you install XAMPP then mysqldump.exe location would be similar as below otherwise you need to change it.

@echo off

For /f “tokens=2-4 delims=/ ” %%a in (‘date /t’) do (set mydate=%%c-%%a-%%b)

For /f “tokens=1-2 delims=/:” %%a in (“%TIME%”) do (set mytime=%%a%%b)

SET backupdir=C:\xampp\htdocs\backup

SET mysqlusername=your_user

SET mysqlpassword=your_pass

SET database=database_name

C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqldump.exe -u %mysqlusername% -p%mysqlpassword% -v %database% > %backupdir%\%database%_%mydate%_%mytime%_.sql

02) Automate the MySQL Backup process

i) Open task scheduler

Open a command prompt. To open a command prompt, click Start , click All Programs , click Accessories , and then click Command Prompt .

At the command prompt, type Taskschd.msc .

For alternative options refer this :- https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721931.aspx

ii) Create New Task

Task Scheduler – Create Task

Click on “Create Task…” from right hand side. it will open up “create task” sub windows

please make sure to select “Run whether user is logged on or not” and tick “Run with highest privileges“. You may can change user but

recommend to select user with admin privileges , later you may need to provide credentials of that user.

iii) Schedule the time

From “Triggers” tab select how often back process should happen and it’s time

iv) Set backup process script

From the “Actions” tab select previously saved bat file.

v) Click “OK” and save the task

First of all create a new generation 2 VM that we’ll use with our new VHDX we created using Disk2VHD.
Don’t create a new vdhx but select to use an existing one and point it to the one we just created with Disk2VHD.
Rename it if needed to something more suitable.

Don’t boot the VM but add a DVD and attach the Windows Server ISO of the version your vhdx contains to the DVD

diskpart

lis disk

lis vol

select volume 3

assign letter L:

FORMAT FS=FAT32 LABEL=”BOOT”

exit

bcdboot C:\Windows /s L: /f UEFI

Disk2VHD on a Generation 2 VM results in an unbootable VHDX

Some people notice after upgrading to Windows 10 April Update, that there is a new partition (recovery partition with Windows PE). Due to the fact, that a drive letter is assigned, the logical drive will be shown in explorer. And Windows 10 starts with annoying notifications, that the disk is full. This forum post describes the situation:

Disk management is failing

The first idea many users have is to remove the drive letter from the disk management partition. If you want to use Disk Management to fix the issue and remove the drive letter from the partition, you will fail in most cases. The context menu does not support commands on this recovery partition.

Open the command prompt window with administrator privileges

diskpart

list volume

select volume <number of your volume>

remove letter=<drive letter of your volume>

exit

( not able to remove letter from drive windows 10 1803 )

Windows 10 V1803 update creates a new OEM Partition

(Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase “ou=Users,ou=London.UK,ou=EMEA,ou=Divisions,dc=bla,dc=com” -server “bla.com”).count

Prerequisites

The Hyper-V host and guest must both be Windows Server 2016/Windows 10 Anniversary Update or later.

VM configuration version 8.0 or greater.

An Intel processor with VT-x and EPT technology — nesting is currently Intel-only.

There are some differences with virtual networking for second-level virtual machines. See “Nested Virtual Machine Networking”.

Configure Nested Virtualization

Create a virtual machine.

While the virtual machine is in the OFF state, run the following command on the physical Hyper-V host.
This enables nested virtualization for the virtual machine.

Get-VM

copy VMName

Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VMName> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true

Start the virtual machine.

Install Hyper-V within the virtual machine, just like you would for a physical server. For more information on installing Hyper-V see, Install Hyper-V.

Virtual Machines

Access denied. Unable to establish communication between ‘Hyper-V Server’ and ‘Hyper-V Manager’.

This is puzzling since the workstation has been connected to this particular Hyper-V server many times using other network profiles. The profile we created for the Microsoft folks was seemingly giving us the connection issue.

The fix took a bit of searching to find and needed to be accomplished on the Windows Vista system where the Hyper-V Manager was installed:

Close the Hyper-V Manager

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dcomcnfg.exe

Right click on dcomcnfg and Run As Administrator.

Authenticate with the local admin credentials if UAC prompts for credentials, or
continue if it does not.

Open the Component Services node, then the Computers node, then right click on My Computer and click on Properties.

Click on the COM Security tab.

Click the Edit Limits button under Access Permissions.

Enable Remote Access for Anonymous Logon

Click Apply and OK.

Close the Component Services console and the Windows Explorer window.

Start the Hyper-V Manager and continue through the UAC.

The virtual machines, if any, will show up in the Hyper-V Manager console after that.

Install Drupal 8.x

1. Unzip the Startup Growth Drupal theme package.

2. Locate the [site]/[d8] directory and upload its content to your

server. This directory includes Drupal core and all of the

required modules that are used in the theme. If you wish to

install the theme in your root directory (often called the

“/public_html/” directory), simply place all the extracted

files and folders into this directory. Place all files in a

sub-directory, if you want the theme installed in a sub-directory

of your website.

3. (important) Create the MySQL database. Make a note of the complete

database name. You will need your database username and password

during the first couple of steps of your theme installation.

4. Import the “[site]/[d8]/[_data]/db_instance.sql” file in your newply

created MySQL database.

5. Start the Drupal installation wizard by pointing your browser to the

recently created folder, in your Apache server path.

6. Continue the installation by selecting the “Standard” installation profile.

7. Enter your recently created database information. This includes the database name

and credentials (username/password) you have chosen when creating it.

8. The installation wizard will recognise that you are using an already populated

database and will inform you accordingly. At the same time, the wizard should

create all the necessary files your Drupal site needs in order to work properly on

your server.

9. You are done. Click on the “visit existing site” link, to visit your new site.

10. Once you are done with the above, please login to this site through the /user/login url

11. Navigate to /admin/reports/status and make sure that there are no errors regarding

the “File system” item. In case of errors please make sure to resolve those.

12. By default, our theme distribution comes with Drupal 8 caching and aggregation of JS and

CSS files, deactivated, ensuring a smoother experience during any technical work you

will need to do post-installation.

Either right after installation, or when you finish building your Drupal 8 site using

this theme, it is recommended to activate Drupal caching and aggregation of CSS and

JS files, for better performance.

To do so, navigate to /admin/config/development/performance and enable caching

(default option: 15 min) as well as the “Aggregate CSS files” and

“Aggregate JavaScript files” options.

Now, close the registry editor, reboot and you are done. Easy, wasn’ t it? Remember not use defrag utilities on SSD disks! For additional details, please refer to – http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms912916(v=winembedded.5).aspx — Some of above information is collected from there.

Partition alignment

Align your partitions so that they start and end at 4k disk blocks. E.g. read this post on Anandtech. Any modern partition tool will do this automatically. I recommend GParted. However the Windows XP partitioner is old and will do this wrong in most cases. The reason is that modern drives, including SSDs and hard disks, operate on 4k data blocks at a time. If the partition is misaligned all partition blocks stretch across disk blocks. If a partition block is processed the drive will need to actually process two disk blocks! This slows disk operations down.

File system settings

If you format the partition, make sure to set the file system allocation block size to 4k. For XP, it is best to choose NTFS as the file system and 4096 as the Allocation Unit Size, check Quick Format, and hit “Ok”. Am I missing something crucial? Please tell me, it will be appreciated.

The endpoint settings in VM allows us to configure the incoming traffic such as remote desktop, custom http ports (Teamcity, OctpusDeploy and etc.) to VM. It was pretty easy to find that setting on old HTML5 azure portal https://manage.windowsazure.com.

VM EndPoint Setting in old Azure portal

But you can’t use the new type of VM with a resource manager on old portal so you have no choice but to use the new Azure portal https://portal.azure.com. The problem (at least for me) came when I wanted to open some ports (endpoints) on new VM via new portal. It took me a while to search for it so I thought I will share it here for those who might have same issue.

Let’s see what you will get when you create a new VM with a resource manager.

Microsoft Azure Resource Group

By default, you will get the following things when you create a VM but of course, you have an option to choose what to create or what to re-use during the setup.

Virtual machine

Network Interface

Network Security Group

Public IP Address

Virtual network

Storage Account

Choose “Network Security Group” then you will see the setting page that looks similar to Windows Advanced Firewall interface on windows server or desktop.

Azure Network Security Group

Click on “Inbound security rules”. This is where you can enable the endpoint of your new VM. Of course, you forget to open the same port in your server OS as well.

Auto Apply Drivers

This action relies on Plug’n’Play (PNP) detection from within Windows PE (WinPE) to scan the hardware that is present, and send this list to the Management Point (MP). The MP replies with a list of compatible drivers that are available on local Distribution Points (DPs), and the Task Sequence downloads and installs the drivers to the C: drive where they can be used by Windows the next time it boots. This action looks for matching drivers across all Driver Packages on all DPs that are accessible in the client’s site boundaries. Without specifying any Driver Packages in the Task Sequence, all matching drivers that are not disabled and not filtered out by a category are considered, regardless of what the package is named or what the original intent of the package was.

Advantages: This action requires the least amount of administration of drivers and driver packages, PNP does most of the work.

Disadvantages: Does not work with standalone media, does not detect hardware that is not present or disabled (i.e. external/USB devices, multi-level drivers, disabled in the BIOS, wireless/Bluetooth with an off switch, etc.) and does not support mass storage drivers for operating systems prior to Windows Vista/Server 2008. You have less control over driver versions, if an SCCM admin downloads different drivers and adds them to any Driver Package and replicates the package to DPs, then any Task Sequence with the Auto Apply Drivers step will find them and possibly consider them a better match. So you could have machines imaging fine one day, and then the next day problems arise or even blue screens, without the Task Sequence ever changing.

Details: The Auto Apply Drivers step in the TS performs these steps:

WinPE performs a PNP scan (devices that are disconnected or turned off are not detected)

WinPE submits the results of the PNP scan to the MP for matching

The MP returns the locations of drivers that are applicable, not disabled, not filtered out by Categories, and accessible on DPs within the current boundaries

WinPE downloads them, and depending on the OS to be installed:

Windows XP: Installs them to the correct folders under C:\Windows

Windows Vista/7/8: Directly adds them to the image’s driver store using DISM for use during Windows (mini-)setup phase

No drivers get loaded under WinPE, but the drivers are installed for the Windows PNP to find on the next boot

——————————————————-

Apply Driver Package

This action does not rely on PNPID detection and always installs all drivers included in a Driver Package, regardless of whether they are valid for that hardware or not. The Driver Packages should be grouped together logically (i.e. by operating system and hardware model) to avoid installing unnecessary drivers on the system (not because this would cause problems, drivers that are not needed are not loaded and just consume disk space). The Task Sequence step can be targeted at specific models using a WMI query.

Advantages: Provides the most control over which drivers and which versions get installed for a particular model, allows drivers to be installed for hardware that may not be present during the Task Sequence, and works with standalone media.

Disadvantages: Requires more up front administration to get the Driver Packages grouped, requires additional disk space on the Distribution Points if the drivers apply to more than one model and need to be included in more than one Driver Package.

Details: The Apply Driver Package step in the Task Sequence performs these steps:

Tries to find the package on a DP that is accessible within the current boundaries

WinPE downloads them (even if they are not needed or not applicable), and depending on the OS to be installed:

Windows XP: Installs them to the correct folders under C:\Windows

Windows Vista/7/8: Directly adds them to the image’s driver store using DISM for use during Windows (mini-)setup phase

No drivers get loaded under WinPE, but the drivers are installed for the Windows PNP to find on the next boot. Unnecessary drivers are ignored by PNP.

Summary

Most smaller companies and test labs can use Auto Apply Drivers, and it can work fine for months or years, but at some point a new driver could start getting detected as valid for older hardware and cause issues. Larger companies with a diverse or global administration model usually prefer Apply Driver Package. Some companies might prefer a hybrid approach, where the Task Sequence runs an Auto Apply Drivers step first to get most of the required drivers, and then runs Apply Driver Package steps for each model that requires additional handling.

Notes

The Import New Driver Wizard does not actually import the driver files into the SQL database, it only creates metadata information about the drivers and stores the path to the source files. The import source files need to remain in the same path after the import wizard is complete, since they will be used to update driver packages and boot images.

After you have imported new drivers, it’s good practice to manually verify the operating systems selected as supported platforms. This is done by editing the Properties and selecting the Applicability tab. The wizard tries to assign the correct platforms based on information in the .INF files, but these files are not always correct and often needs to be corrected to match the information provided on the vendor’s website or in the readme files.

I try to avoid adding any unnecessary drivers to the Windows PE boot images. Generally I try to use the default drivers provided by Windows PE, and only add drivers for mass storage controllers and network adapters when needed, or to improve performance. Do some benchmarking from Windows PE, and make sure the disk I/O for SATA drives averages at least 40MBps for writes and 80MBps for reads. Make sure the network I/O is at least 600Mbps on Gigabit, and 70Mbps or better on Fast Ethernet.

Both of the Task Sequence driver steps can only be ran from WinPE, not under full Windows.

For Windows Vista/7/8, all driver steps need to be added during the “offlineServicing” configuration pass of setup (after the “Apply Operating System Image” step, but before the “Setup Windows and ConfigMgr” step).

On pre-Vista operating systems, any mass storage and boot critical drivers must be installed with Apply Driver Package, not Auto Apply Drivers.

One solution would be to reboot the computers in the environment. This would clear the Kerberos tickets from all session caches. However, rebooting a server is not always allowed in production and in some cases the server needs to be available 24×7.

In case you are wondering, normally I would open the EXE’s and extract the MSI’s.

But today I decided to use the EXE’s with the default commands that Oracle delivers us.

Had some problems with SCCM depencies and with little time, I used a batch file.

When using SCCM and installing it with SYSTEM credentials, the java installer decided to place the msi’s under the appdata from the install account.

Because appdata from the System account is under C:\Windows\System32, it would not do the correct copy actions.

Also it was searching for java.settings.cfg under C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java , so we needed to place the file there before installing.

I also added some custom settings to the Java configuration.

Placing the file under APPDATA of the current user.

Use the following query to return the NetBIOS name of all computers that have a specific software package installed. This example displays all computers with a version of Microsoft Visio installed. Replace %Visio% with the software package you want to query for.

Tip: This query searches for the software package by using the names that are displayed in the programs list in Windows Control Panel. The term DISTINCT is used to ensure that only one result is returned per computer. The query also uses the AS term to create an alias to enhance readability of the query.

SELECT DISTINCT *

FROM SMS_R_System AS Sys

INNER JOIN SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS AS ARP ON

ARP.ResourceId = Sys.ResourceId

WHERE

ARP.DisplayName LIKE ‘%Visio%’

Example: Computers WITHOUT a specific software package installed

Use the following query to return the computers that do not have a specific software package installed. This example displays all computers that do not have a version of Microsoft Visio installed. Replace %Visio% with the software package you want to query for.

Tip: This query uses the ability to use sub-queries to filter results. The key is the use of the NOT IN operator is used to filter only computers not found in the sub-query (that is the query after the WHERE clause between brackets).

SELECT *

FROM SMS_R_System AS Sys

WHERE

Sys.ResourceID NOT IN

(

SELECT ResourceID

FROM SMS_G_System_Add_Remove_Programs AS ARP

WHERE ARP.DisplayName LIKE ‘%Visio%’

)

Example: Computers that are in a specific Active Directory Domain Services Organizational Unit (OU)

Use the following query to return the NetBIOS name and OU name of all computers in a specified OU. Replace the OU Name in the example with the name of the OU that you want to query for.

SELECT DISTINCT *

FROM SMS_R_System AS Sys

WHERE

Sys.SystemOUName = ‘Contoso.Domain.local/OUName’

Example: Computers with a specific NetBIOS name

Use the following query to return the NetBIOS name of all computers that begin with a specific string of characters. In this example, the query returns all computers with a NetBIOS name that begins with ABC.

SELECT DISTINCT *

FROM SMS_R_System AS Sys

WHERE

Sys.NetbiosName LIKE ‘ABC%’

Example: All computers that are laptops (method 1)

Use the following query to return the all computers that are laptops. This is achieved by finding all machines that have batteries.

This query uses hardware inventory of the Win32_Battery WMI class.

Tip: This query requires that hardware inventory be extended to include the Win32_Battery class (and at least the DeviceID property). To do this, see one of the following TechNet articles for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager This link is external to TechNet Wiki. It will open in a new window. or Configuration Manager 2007 This link is external to TechNet Wiki. It will open in a new window. .

SELECT DISTINCT *

FROM SMS_R_System AS Sys

INNER JOIN SMS_G_System_Battery AS Batt ON

Batt.ResourceId = Sys.ResourceId

WHERE

Batt.DeviceID LIKE ‘%’

Example: All computers that are laptops (method 2)

Use the following query to return the all computers that are laptops. This is achieved by determining the chassis type defined by the hardware manufacturer.

This query uses hardware inventory of the Win32_SystemEnclosure WMI class. This query identifies devices classified as ‘Laptop’ or ‘Notebook’ or ‘Portable’ – there are additional classes that a hardware vendor may choose to identify their devices. A complete list of chassis types can be found in the MSDN documentation of the Win32_SystemEnclosure class here This link is external to TechNet Wiki. It will open in a new window. .

Tip: This query uses the Configuration Manager WQL extension IN operator, which allows for case like query.

SELECT DISTINCT *

FROM SMS_R_System AS Sys

INNER JOIN SMS_G_System_System_Enclosure AS Case ON

Case.ResourceId = Sys.ResourceId

WHERE

Case.ChassisTypes IN (’10’, ‘9’, ‘8’)

Example: All computers that are virtual machines

Use the following query to return the all computers that are running virtual machines (either Microsoft or VMWare). This is achieved by determining the manufacturer of the guest’s “hardware” as reported by the virtual BIOS.

This query uses hardware inventory of the Win32_ComputerSystem WMI class. A complete list of properties can be found in the MSDN documentation of the Win32_ComputerSystem class here This link is external to TechNet Wiki. It will open in a new window. .

SELECT *

FROM SMS_R_System AS Sys

INNER JOIN SMS_G_System_Computer_System AS CompSys ON

CompSys.ResourceId = Sys.ResourceId

WHERE

(CompSys.Manufacturer = ‘Microsoft Corporation’

OR CompSys.Manufacturer = ‘VMware, Inc.’)

Configuring the firewall

I already explained Server Core acts as a file server without installing anything. All you need to do is permit file services through the firewall. In the standard firewall configuration there’s already a pre-built exception you can enable by typing the following command:

netsh firewall set service fileandprint

Removing Built-in apps from Windows 10 WIM-File with Powershell – Version 1.1

When creating a Windows-10-Image for the Enterprise you may not want to include all of the default Windows Store Applications.

This script takes a simple list of Apps and then removes the Apps from the default install.wim.

The Script works aso for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1.

Create Temp-Directory -> Mount Windows 10 WIM-File -> Remove all Built-in apps -> Unmount WIM-File -> Remove Temp-Directory. Thats all!

Windows 10 comes with .NET framework 4.5 pre-installed, but many apps developed in Vista and Windows 7 era require the .NET framework v3.5 installed along with 4.5.

These apps will not run unless you will install the required version.

When you try to run any such app, Windows 10 will prompt you to download and install .NET framework 3.5 from the Internet.

Here is how to install it offline using DISM from Windows Kits for Windows 10.

Dism /Get-WIMInfo /WimFile:S:\Temp\install.wim

Dism /Mount-WIM /WimFile:S:\Temp\install.wim /Index:1 /MountDir:S:\Temp\offline

When you open registry editor and connect to a remote system, the only hives you will see are HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_USERS. The other two hives, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and HKEY_CURRENT_USER are there too, but are under the two visible hives. So for all purposes, I am only going to explain here how to access the once that are not openly evident.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

This hive is located under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes

HKEY_CURRENT_USER

This hive is more tricky to find because you have to correlate what the SID is to the user. This can be done by going to HKEY_USERS and parsing through each SID. Ignore the SIDs that have only 4 sets of numbers (i.e. S-1-5-18). These are system accounts. The best way I found to parse through and find who the user is is to go to HKEY_USERS\<SID>\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Under this key will be a list off applications that are set to run when the system is booted up. You can look at the data field and there will usually be a few apps that will say “c:\users\<username>”, which will give away who the user of that SID is.

There is another way and that would be to remotely run a WMI query to find out who the current user is and the SID for that user.

When you migrate the Orchestrator database from one instance of Microsoft SQL Server to another and then try to open Orchestrator Designer in Microsoft System Center 2012 Orchestrator or in System Center 2012 R2 Orchestrator, Orchestrator Designer starts to open and then generates a prompt that indicates that the license key has expired. When you enter a valid key and then click OK, the same prompt appears.

For all the details as well as a resolution, please see the following:

KB2920037 – Orchestrator Designer generates a prompt for a license key after you migrate the Orchestrator database (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2920037)

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

Stop the Orchestrator Management service.

Open the Orchestrator database on the new instance of SQL Server.

Open a new query, and make sure that the Orchestrator database is selected.

Execute the following two lines on the database, one at a time:

Delete the old key:

[Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Cryptography].[DropOrchestratorKeys]

Create the new key:

[Microsoft.SystemCenter.Orchestrator.Cryptography].[CreateOrchestratorKeys]

Start the Orchestrator Management service.

When you now open Orchestrator Designer, you are again prompted for the key. When you enter the key, the key works as designed.

When attempting to set up and configure the ConfigMgr 2012 site system role for reporting services, a frequently experienced “problem” is that the instance name can be blank/empty in the wizard and thereby unable to proceed with the wizard. This usually occurs when SRS has not been pre-configured properly.
While it is common “knowledge” that the reporting services database needs to be created first, an oft-overlooked step is to use the Reporting Services Configuration Manager to create the virtual directories for IIS. And it is these steps which need to be completed to get you on your way.
Open Reporting Services Configuration ManagerConnect to the server/instanceClick on Web Service URL – make a fake change, such as changing the name of the virtual directory and then putting it back to ReportServer – and clicking Apply. This will then create the new virtual directories.
Click on Report Manager URL – again, make a change to the name and put back to just Reports – and click Apply to generate the new virtual directories.Close configuration managerReturn to the CM12 site role setup program, click “Verify” for the database connection, and voila the instance is now populated correctly!

Problem:

I am trying to remove a DP from a server. I’ve gone to Administration | Overview | Site Configuration | Servers and Site System Roles

I right-click on the server that is hosting the DP I want to remove and select Delete from the context menu.

However, I then get a Delete Server dialog box stating:

The server “\\<server_fqdn>” cannot be deleted because it contains the following site system roles:

Component server

The component server role supports other site system roles and is created automatically by Configuration Manager. Although there might be a delay, this role is automatically removed after you remove other site system roles on this server.

I’ve tried right-clicking on the Component server role under Site System Roles but the Remove Role option is greyed out so I’m unable to remove the Component Server Site System Role.

As this server is only hosting a DP I don’t understand why it has the Component server installed on it.

Resolution:

The server in question must have had another Site System role installed on it at some point in the past as the Component server role gets installed on a server whenever a Site System role is installed with the exception of a DP (so if the server has only ever run as a DP you will not see the Component server).

Chances are a role other than the DP was installed at some point in the past and removed but the Component server role hasn’t been removed for some reason.

The quickest way to kickstart this is on the affected server:

Right-click Site system under Site system Roles and select Properties from the context menu.

Make a change to a setting on the Site system properties screen such as checking the Require the site server to initiate connections to this site system then click OK.

Wait 10 – 15 minutes.

Refresh the console and the Component server role should now have disappeared.

You should now be able to delete the server hosting the DP.
