MDT 2010: Trace32 replacement?
Posted by Lars Krogh in Tips and Tricks MDT, Tips and Tricks SCCM on 15/07/2010
Looks like Specops is working on a Logviewer for use with MDT and SCCM.
Could this be a replacement for Trace32 (SMS Trace)?
Get the Beta here (Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 is required to install and run the Specops Logviewer)

SCCM: Modena RC2 download available on Connect
Posted by Lars Krogh in SCCM on 30/11/2009
A full featured version of Modena RC2 is ready for download on Connect and I’ve just downloaded it.
I’m currently looking into the DriverSync tool. The tool includes a VBScript (ExcelDriverSyncBeta.vbs) that pipes all Hardware ID’s to a Excel spreadsheets. Run the script with the OS as argument and you will get a spreadsheet called DeviceDrivers.xlsx with all the hardware ID’s – that could come in handy in all OSDs.
News: Beta1 of SCCM 2007 R3 in Q1 2010
Posted by Lars Krogh in News on 27/11/2009
R3 for SCCM 2007 is coming and first beta can be expected in January 2010. The new Power Management features are not in my interest, but the updated ‘Prestaged-Media’ feature and ‘Delta Active Directory Discovery’ sounds pretty kool! … R3 can create pre-staged media from the Task Sequence Media wizard. The wizard will create a .wim file which contains the boot media and the operating system .wim file. … Delta Active Directory Discovery -> This improvement will help the SCCM admin to deploy software based on elements in Active Directory (deploying software based on AD groups, OU’s etc.).

ConfigMgr: CD boot media with fixed IP
Posted by Lars Krogh in Tips and Tricks SCCM on 28/10/2009
Today I had to create a CD boot media with an fixed IP – why? - cause I had to do a OSD at a branch office without a DHCP server and had no Super User on location.
I created a CD boot media within SCCM and extracted the ISO using WINRAR.
I mounted the BOOT.WIM from \<boot media name>\SOURCES\
Then I created an .ini file with the name TSconfig.ini in the root of the media and a VBScript named PreTS.vbs. The VBScript run Netsh to set the fixed IP and the DNS server.
The script will execute before pulling the policies from the SCCM server.
After that I created a new CD boot media using CDIMAGE GUI. I used etfsboot.com as CD boot sector. On my 32-bit XP Pro the file is located in C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\boot\etfsboot.com (You need a local install of WAIK 2.0 (I run ConfigMgr 2007R2 SP1)).

Hints: More about ConfigMgr documentation, or lack of same
Posted by Lars Krogh in Hints on 26/10/2009
As I wrote in a post ealier I use SYDI Server a lot for documenting Server deployments. Check out this script from Enhansoft. It’s based on SYDI Server and creates a basic documentation for your Systems Management Server.
