• ConfigMgr 2007 Console

  I thought I’d check out the ConfigMgr 2007 Console MMC; see how it goes on, where its settings reside and whether I can bring anything new to the current knowledge base. Unfortunately, I don’t bring anything new to the table; instead I’m... Posted Sep 05 2008, 08:31 AM by Robs Blog Filed under: System Center, System Center.

• ConfigMgr 2007 RTM\SP1 - Component Status Summarizer acting like a dead duck?

  This issue won't impact many of you, and to induce the following behaviour you really need to go toggle some values most SMS Admins leave well alone.

• ConfigMgr SP1 installation causes BSOD

  Had an interesting problem yesterday, ConfigMgr RTM upgrade to SP1 two thirds of the way through induced a BSOD.

  Isn't it funny, as that saying goes, you wait around for a bus and three come along at once.
