ConfigMgr

On Twitter I asked the following to David James (Director of Engineering, ConfigMgr, Microsoft) and Johan Arwidmark (CTO @ TrueSec): https://twitter.com/DevSecNinja/status/1024927840138145793 For example, I have 3 device collections in SCCM that I call: “Windows 10 Feature Updates - Test” “Windows 10 Feature Updates - Pre-Production” “Windows 10 Feature Updates - Production” With ADRs, that’s quite simple. Just add the deployment to the Software Update Group in SCCM and you’re done. But I was wondering if that is supported in the Servicing Plan scenario too, as with a Servicing Plan you define the amount of days it will take after a build release, before SCCM will deploy the feature update to the collection. ...

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. ...
