Back in May this year I released a small tool that monitors and tracks all changes on Task Sequences on your SCCM Server and exports a copy for backup purposes each time a change happens. Today I just published an updated version of this script, that enables the same functionality for System Center 2012 Configuration Manager . Please have a look on the original Blog Post for some further reference about the usage etc. Find the updated Download on CodePlex .

This could be called part 4 of WMI magician Kim Oppalfens 3 part series about WMI eventing in SCCM . In his series he first covered the basics of WMI eventing using wbemtest to create the event query and dig a bit through the returning objects. Then he guided us through a simple VBScript that monitored folders in SCCM to implement “securable” Configuration Manager folders . A pretty neat solution as folders aren’t securable objects within SCCM. However one drawback of his initial script is, that...

Or have you ever been working on a Task Sequence, just to recognize that...

OK, even if they have started already it’s not to late to still join this years Scripting Games . If you are like me and not yet that into PowerShell and would like to start digging more into the topic, that’s a good starting point. You have several events all covering a specific problems you experience quite often. That can be handling of files, manipulating the Registry, gathering information about the local or remote computer, handling permission, etc. The tasks required for each event differ...

Today I experienced a problem that was running me mad. I was working on a modification of an existing hta downloaded from the internet (more on this later ;-) ). The first time I ran it to verify the changes made so far, I got a Script Error stating an invalid character in Line 1, Char 1 in a script that was referenced in the hta: I was pretty sure that the mentioned script was OK as it is a core library I’ve used quite often before. But to be sure I checked the script again if it contains any invalid...
