Start making modifications to make the script working within a Windows 7 x64 bit version environment.

Anyone interested ?

I agree with pwstrain.

The section

'* Service Is Running so Do this *

logfile.writeline "Exiting script processing because ccmsetup service Is running And it passed other health Checks"

wShShell1.LogEvent 0, "Exiting script processing because ccmsetup service Is running and it passed other health Checks"

WScript.Quit

I'm no scripter so i'm working through this, but it does not install the SCCM agent if you have a SMS agent installed

It appears that if the client is running and configured, this script will not update it even if the version is not listed in the 'case' check, which only appears to run if the script forced a re-install for other reasons.

Is that right, or am I reading it wrong? That's the behavior I see when I try it.

re: How to Install WSUS on SCCM Central Site

mfunck2009 — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 15:28:36 GMT

could you please point out the strategy to the configuration of child primary sites with active SUP and a remote WSUS Box

is there any config job on the wsus box itself or is the sccm config console enough.

regards

FYI, the first link on this page for "SCCM SITE MONTHLY TOTALS" points to the URL www.myitforum.com/.../12365sccm%20metrics.MOF, which is 404 not found...

Yeah it stinks the only way to keep all reports in place when doing a hardware refresh is to build the new site on the new hardware then to a backup --> recovery/restore to the new site.

I've done this several times. Only way i know to keep everything linked properly.

This kind of great work brings up a question. There's evidently NO way to export reports with their links intact, or to keep the report number intact. We recently went through a hardware "refresh" and were shocked to find that none of our hundreds of custom and linked (some multiple levels) reports had their links or numbers in the exported MOF file. It has taken months to try and put things back together again. I even opened an incident with Microsoft Premier, and, they had no solution to this.

re: Backing up your Reporting Services for SCCM (automate it)

sthompson — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 17:42:42 GMT

Thank you for the kind words, I like your approach. The only thing missing, is automated backup of any custom views, stored procedures (SCCM db) and any custom *rdl, *sdml files that may have been created. Nice job!

Nice job!

re: Vista SP2 Service Pack Clean-up tool (Compcln.exe)

Ed_at_My_IT — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:57:49 GMT

I'm a bit confused about what exactly this cleanup tool does. The description above says that it is for "permanently deleting previous versions of files (RTM and SP1) that are being serviced by SP2" - note "previous versions". And yet further down on the page it (strongly) implies that running this cleanup tool will prevent us from ever uninstalling SP2 - why would that be, if it only removes the "previous versions of files"? Would this cleanup tool not still leave intact the SP2 (current) uninstall files?
