I just came onboard a company that has sccm and has had it for some time, it’s running config manager 2016 and initially the guy who set it up kept wds running and couldn’t figure sccm out for image deployment so he ended up using SmartDeploy and did them one by one. They do have wsus running for updates but that is about it. It has been forever since I have had to configure sccm so I may just be overlooking something. When I have it configured to run PXE without WDS it hits the server, I verified that much in the log and with wireshark. But it keeps telling me “TFTP: cannot open boot\x64\wds ..read more

Hello, This month, I had 100 odd systems not patch with Cumulative and .NET Framework updates with this month's patching cycle and the deadline has passed. In a few spot checks, I can see that the updates show as missing in the All Updates tab of the Client Center for Configuration tool, but nothing I do will trigger the updates to become pending and scheduled.

However, I'm still not seeing ..read more

Hi guys, my company is thinking of applying Defender ASR rules in block mode for our co-managed devices. Am a bit concerned about this rule ("Enabling Block process creations originating from PSExec and WMI commands") because Microsoft warns not to apply it if you are using SCCM client because they use WMI. The rule has been in Audit mode for a year and the security team say they have not seen any incidents involving the rule but am still skeptical given the warning by Microsoft. What is you guys advice on this? Has anyone experienced a challenge with this rule on SCCM clients? submitted by ..read more

I was trying to do this last week and came across several places where others were trying to do the same. I am by no means an expert, and someone may have a better way to do this, but here is something that worked for me. This powershell script will get the "C:\Windows\ccmcache" folder size and write the folder size to a registry key. You could create a new script \Software Library\Overview\Scripts to run or us this as part of a startup script to keep it updated. You pick your own poison for deploying the script. Just change the "YOUR_COMPANY_NAME" # Define the folder path $FolderPath = "C ..read more
