That script is deployed to machines via an SCCM package that reports the local administrators back to SCCM to be able to be queried into a report. I got tired of having to go into SCCM and look at the query report to see if any new machines might have appeared. The third is the run program defining to run the PowerShell script.

I Googled the blog posting on it and although it is a great post, I figured it could streamlined even more by just using SCCM alone to achieve the same outcome. The third edition now combines the first two and allows for them to be designated using parameters. The code has also been optimized.

I googled the blog posting on it and although it is a great post, I figured I could streamline it even more by just using SCCM alone to achieve the same outcome. The other thing that needs to be done is to define the Installation program in SCCM using psexec.exe. This is setup in SCCM as a normal application deployment.

I googled the blog posting on it and although it is a great post, I figured I could streamline it even more by just using SCCM alone to achieve the same outcome. I decided to use the SCCM custom application detection to scan a system and see if a full system scan has been performed.

With the advent of mass deployment errors such Emory University and CommBank , there needs to be a master kill switch. The last two years at Microsoft Ignite, I have also talked to SCCM professionals who experienced the same thing, one in Oklahoma at an oil company and another in Michigan at a financial services company.

A few years ago, I had published a PowerShell module that contained a function to log all app installs during a build process. This new script I have written is designed to query the programs and features registry entries to verify if an application is installed and to write that verification to a.CSV file.

I have wanted to be able to update an application on the fly without having to create new application packages in SCCM. This is especially useful for applications that are updated quite frequently, such as Java Runtime Environment. This can be done by using the custom script detection method.

In order to keep track of all systems all of the time, I wrote the following two PowerShell scripts to report systems in which a user is part of the administrators group. This is a two step process, using SCCM Application deployment. The first step is to use a custom detection method written in PowerShell.

The logging has been designed so that there is an installation log file that records all steps in the installation, an application log file that the installer creates, and finally a build.log file that records if the application was successfully installed. If it is an image process, change Phase to Software Deployment.

There are a few applications we have that require mapped drives, so we have certain users with them. Once again, I must say thank you to Sapien Technology for PowerShell Studio ! That tool makes writing these PowerShell scripts a breeze. If you are wanting this to write the results to SCCM, here is what you need to do.

Thanks to Sapien's PowerShell Studio , the script was a breeze to write! You could use SCCM to execute the script one time unpon user logon, which is what I have configured. If any errors are encountered, the script will return an error code 1 thereby reporting it to MDT/SCCM. This can be done by several methods.
