Mini Monster Mof Builder
Edit: Updated to v1.11
For SMS 2003 SP2 and earlier, there were popular downloads available for what were known as "the Monster Mof". They were great, but in my opinion could be bloated. For example, it would contain edits for 3 different anti-virus vendors. Most companies usually only had 1, or if they were really diverse, possibly 2. As an admin, you either put in the entire monster and lived with the bloat, or edited the Monster anyway, and either removed edits or set them to FALSE.
Since SP2, edits have been accumulating. Most of which have been blogged on MyITForum, but they are often difficult to find. There's a zip file with all of the text snippets here, but even that could be daunting to the admin who rarely edits the mof.
So... here's another, different way to pick and choose which MOF extensions you might want in your environment. Download the attached file, unzip it, and rename it from .txt to .hta, and double-click it. You'll be presented with the below. Please look at Misc Notes, and the specific instructions for SMS2003 vs. ConfigMgr. You can use the ? to get more info on a particular snippet, which may lead you to additional blog entries. Once you've decided which 1 (or 5) extensions you might want in your environment, check those items on, and at the bottom, click "Compile & Display". You will then have 1 (or 2) text files with your own "mini monster" to add to your mof files on the server. As useful mof edits continue to accumulate, the download will be updated; at least until a better method for sharing mof snippets appears!
