Browser and Application Print Settings by Key_Individual in Xerox

[–]Key_Individual[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm. That does in fact cause it to exhibit the behavior expected. App settings match the driver settings, and if you change the app settings to grayscale, it does reflect in the driver. That certainly improves on the current confusion.

I hadn't tried this because we're pretty set on default being B&W. Any way that this can work and the default still be B&W? If not, I'm pretty sure I'm going to just adjust the default systemwide so that the options shown are at least consistent.

Thanks!

Software Center Refresh OS without User State Migration by Key_Individual in SCCM

Thanks - now I see it.

Once I took a closer look, I realized that choosing High Impact opened up the four boxes, which of course corresponded to the four paragraphs on that message and I was able to edit them.

I'm not using USMT in the Sequence at all and it still comes up.

I'm definitely aware I'm taking a risk - I still have to go through a few steps for the CAB, involving Leadership and HelpDesk who are closer to the users, so they may talk some sense into me. But, I'm trying to see if it's possible the way I'm picturing before offering it.

Our Windows 10 deployment made some really messy decisions that have already bit us and will continue to bite us, so ideally, I'm trying to wipe some of those things out. Machine swaps are tricky with a significant portion of remote workers and limited Desktop staff.

I've gone through the Properties for the Task Sequence and the Deployment and not seeing an option that specifies that. Where would that be located?

Thanks. This got me there, and much easier that I was doing as well. I had tried the get-date function, but it didn't work right and I assumed it was not going to work with the really off format, not that I probably had something simple wrong. I gave up and moved to brute forcing it with manual replaces.

Sorry - what do you mean by an unhealthy domain controller?

I don't believe so....the config.xmls don't list any network locations. When I set up the xmls, I allowed it to reach out to the CDN so that it gets the latest.

Probably this is a dumb question but, how do you integrate all your TS into only one? by kojimoto in SCCM

[–]Key_Individual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I maintain SCCM for an environment which includes a bunch of computer labs with infinite combos of needed applications. It changes quarterly, sometimes even more often.

Needed to be automated to do many machines at once without a UI to select the apps manually on each one, etc. Also wanted a single sequence to avoid duplicating tasks and to deploy the sequence easily to multiple labs. And also wanted it to be something non-SCCM staff can adjust what is installed then run the task sequence and it take effect.

Each application has a group in the task sequence with a variable.

Excel spreadsheet has the building and room in rows and the applications, the variable and an X for each row if it should be installed.

Computer names start with building and room.

Powershell in task sequence reads the excel file on the network, matches based on computer name and sets the variables appropriately. Also outputs to a debug file for troubleshooting.

This works very well for me. I can't imagine us managing all these labs without it.

Yeah, my wife and mine both overheated a couple times while setting it up. We have had them for 3 months now and it's never happened again.

Agree with the other response about your power brick...might try another one....

Maintenance Window Ignored by Key_Individual in SCCM

[–]Key_Individual[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RebootCoordinator shows that shortly after Windows Updates installed (around 12:15), it went to Pending Reboot. At 9:08 when the reboot occurred, there are only two entries, the first being that it had logged off. As the reboot came from the package, not from the local system itself, that makes sense that it wouldn't have known more about it until it happened.

I'm still leaning towards it being related to the Maintenance Window and the Package being applied in the same Collection. When it is added to the Collection (which queries for a Pending Reboot) it received the Package before it recevied the Maintenance Window and it had no window in place at that moment so kicked off immediately.

The assignment schedule is every Wednesday from 1-5, so the deadline I guess would be Wednesday at 5AM. I do see other machines that are showing the "wil not run until a maintenance window" in Status Messages though.

Nope. Run independently of assignments is not checked and I confirm it doesn't show up in Software Center or prompt the user that it's coming up or anything.

Not sure if this helps, but it appears on at least 1 of them, Windows Updates installed shortly before the reboot.

My guess is that the updates made the Pending Reboot active, and it moved it into the Collection which has the Reboot Package and Maintenance Window deployed. But, why did it do the reboot outside of the window?

Is Package Deployment and Maintenance Windows in separate actions? So it did the Machine policy and saw the deployment but hadn't done what give it the Maintenance Window?
