SCCM: OSD App Tree updated to vers. 2.6
Posted by Lars Krogh in Tips and Tricks SCCM on 12/03/2010
I like OSD App Tree. It is a easy way to allow user interaction during a Task Sequence (TS). The app has been upgraded to vers. 2.6 and can be downloaded here and the documentation can be found here
The newest version have the ability of creating the TS variables isLaptop, isDesktop, isServer like we know them from MDT.
Configuration is done within an singel .xml file, so fire up Notepad++, create your custom .xml and test it in you pre-live TS.

At home: LogMeIn Pro² added
Posted by Lars Krogh in At home on 05/01/2010
Just added LogMeIn Pro² to my new setup (costs €31.20/month for 5 PCs) … man, this is AWESOME!
I have total control of my virtual environment from anywhere in the world and not only that – I can also manage the physical machine through Intel’s RPAT (remember your MB has to run AMT 5.0 and above).
After I login at the LogMeIn website I’m able to access my entire home environment.
This screenshot show part of my virtual environment:

Microsoft has released an update to Modena RC2. Here’s a post on what has been fixed and here’s the webcast series.
Why do I look at Modena RC2? I like some of the bits and use the BGinfo part in my current setup.
Hints: Unpack Drivers
Posted by Lars Krogh in Hints on 18/12/2009
Don’t you just hate it when drivers only come in an executable? – I do!
I mostly use WinRAR and 7-zip to unpack drivers, but when WinRAR and 7-zip comes short I use Universal Extractor. I just had to certify a Lenovo R400. The Lenovo R400 has a Ericsson F3507g modem. Going to the Lenovo support page I can only download an executable, but using Universal Extractor I’m able to extract the .inf, .cat and .sys from the executable.
Note. Universal Extractor can also extract .MSI packages (!)

SCCM: OSD App Tree 2.5
Posted by Lars Krogh in SCCM on 03/12/2009
Not new, but a hot app with a small footprint and a app that runs from a command line.
I use this app at work for OSD at offices with 1-20 employees. It’s very flexible – it all comes down to a single executable and a .xml. In these offices we run our standard TS and then run the OSD App Tree application as the last step. You need to create some GUID’s to identify each application within the .xml – I use a VBScript for this. You can grab code from this blog at the Scripting Guy to generate GUID’s.
