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? ...

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. ...

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. ...

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. ...

**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. ...

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”. ...

I had an issue within my lab with deploying Windows 8.1 drivers to Windows 10 with SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. It isn’t possible to make all Windows 8.1 drivers compatible with Windows 10 within the SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 console with just one click. Because I was running within a lab environment and I only had 2 driver packages for Windows 8.1 x64, I was able to make the drivers available for deployment to all platforms. You can do this with the magic of PowerShell: ...

I was deploying Windows 10 with SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 and the task sequence failed after “Installing device drivers” with error code 0x80070032 (or 80070032). The “Auto Apply Drivers” task works fine, but doesn’t install a lot of drivers. The smsts.log file: Dism failed with return code 50 Failed to add driver to driver store. Code 0x80070032 Failed to provision driver. Code 0x80070032 Exiting with return code 0x80070032 Solution: Make sure you’re using the latest MDT version, compatible with Windows 10. Make sure you’re using at least ADK 10. Check if your boot image has OS Version 10 or higher. If not, create a new boot image with MDT or ADK.

I was doing a migration project from System Center - Operations Manager 2007 to System Center - Operations Manager 2012 R2. Some computers had troubles with the upgrade of the agent. I first tried to do a client push deployment. 80 % of the installations succeeded, but I had a couple of computers with failed installations/upgrades. 1. Start the agent installation manually on the failed computer. Run the MOMAgent.msi installer. 2. ...

I had a small issue with my Remote Desktop Services Lab environment. I wanted to add a by my PKI infrastructure signed certificate to the Remote Desktop Roles. I created a certificate template like in this post. When I was importing the certificates into the wizard, the certificate looks fine because the state after selecting the certificate says “Success”. When you reopen the screen afterwards, it was like no certificate has been selected. I was able to see the certificate in my browser, so the selection was successful. I wasn’t able to find out what was the problem on the internet, but I fixed it to change the certificate template. ...
