Troubleshoot BSOD after deploying driver package in SCCM 2012 R2

During an Operating System Deployment in SCCM 2012 R2, new notebook models crashed after installing the driver package. I couldn’t see the BSOD code because I wasn’t able to boot the computer in safe mode, but after taking some pictures with my phone of the BSOD screen, I found out that the error code was 0x0000007e. The next step: how are you going to troubleshoot 160 drivers that you deployed to those models with your new driver package?

Intel I219-V Ethernet Connection driver doesn't work in WinPE (SCCM)

Today I had an issue with one of our new notebook models at a client. Problem: After you PXE-boot the device, the device doesn’t get his advertisement from SCCM and goes in a reboot to the original OS. If you open the command prompt with F8 during the boot image startup process, no IP address is shown after you type in the command “ipconfig”. The driver package from the manufacturer we used included a Windows 7 NIC driver, which was good for the install image.

PowerShell Profiles - The structure of your _PSH_BASE.ps1 file

In my previous post PowerShell Profiles - The profile.ps1 file I showed you my profile.ps1 file. In this post, I’ll show you a way to structure your base file, so that you can use it for your functions and aliases. Make sure that you always use max 2 files. The first file is your profile.ps1 file and the other file is this _PSH_BASE.ps1 file. If you use like 3 or 4 files, it can take a couple of seconds to load your PowerShell session.

PowerShell Profiles - The profile.ps1 file

Welcome to this blog series about PowerShell profiles. I’m using PowerShell profiles for a couple of months now to make life a lot easier. To start this blog series, I would like to show you my Profile.ps1 file. It’s located in “C:\Users\\Documents\WindowsPowerShell”. Because I use my PowerShell profiles at multiple locations such as my work notebook, home computer and sometimes at projects, I need to make sure that my PowerShell script home is always right so that the rest of the PowerShell profile is able to load successfully.

Windows Continuum

Microsoft heeft tijdens het Microsoft Ignite evenement een nieuwe feature van Windows 10 getoond, genaamd Continuum. Met Continuum is het mogelijk om je telefoon of tablet in een desktop te veranderen. Joe Belfiore (Corporate Vice President, Operating Systems Groupq @ Microsoft) liet vol trots deze nieuwste ontwikkeling zien. Je telefoon staat, in de meest ideale situatie via Bluetooth, in verbinding met toetsenbord en muis. Door de telefoon op een beeldscherm aan te sluiten, schakel je automatisch van telefoonmodus naar een beperkte desktopomgeving.

Windows 10 - Intel HDMI Audio doesn't work

After installing Windows 10 on my production device (with a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V VM as back-up, of course), I had an issue with the HDMI Audio of my Dell Latitude E6540 notebook. I found some topics online about setting the default format of the Audio device, such as sample rate and bit depth, but that doesn’t work for me. I had to reconfigure my Receiver + 5.1 Audio as “5.1 Surround”, instead of the default “Stereo”.
