  • Turbo SMS!

    by Phil Wilcock (philw@1e.com) with thanks to Simon Burbidge from 1E who discovered this little gem..

    Here's a MOF that when compiled on an SMS client, removes a mandatory 2 minute wait between the client receiving policy and actioning it.

    It's really useful when testing in the lab - if you're constantly running advertisements then every 2 minutes counts..

    To implement this - copy the text below and create a text file called setwait.mof

    Edit the line containing the sitecode - SMS:XXX and enter your own sitecode

    compile the MOF on your SMS client using the following command

    mofcomp.exe setwait.mof

    The restart the SMS Agent Host service and watch SMS fly!

    #pragma namespace("\\\\.\\root\\ccm\\policy\\machine\\Requestedconfig")
    instance of CCM_PolicyAgent_Configuration
    {
        PolicySource = "Local";
        PolicyDownloadMethod = "BITS";
        PolicyEnableUserGroupSupport = true;
        PolicyRequestAssignmentTimeout = 65;
        PolicyTimeUntilAck = 43200;
        PolicyTimeUntilExpire = 86400;
        AuthorityName = "SMS:XXX";
        PolicyTimeUntilUpdateActualConfig = 0;   
    };
