Renaming SCCM package application catalog using powershell

I am trying to change the application properties in SCCM Configmgr2012 of over 2000 applications, i need to have the Application Catalog name changed to match the package Name, for doing this i need to design a power shell script, since i am new to
power shell i am not sure what parameters i should use and appropriate functions to be used. if anybody has created something similar please share information on this. Hope i am clear with my question.
Thanks.
Example
Path: Software library-Overview-Application Management-Applications-Adobe
Application-Right click-properties-General Information tab-Name
Adobe_Acrobat X Pro_10.0.0_01
Application-Right click-properties-Application catalog-Localized application name Adobe_Acrobat X Pro -English

That the applications are not in the same folder is not a problem, as you can iterate through all applications without knowing the folder location. The problem is that if you want to script this there needs to be a starting point. Something that's the
same for all application names, so you can script something to get a specific part of the name.

SCCM 2012 Application Catalog shows ALL advertised to a user independant of the OS they are using

Within SCCM 2007 if a package was to be made available only to the following platforms, it would only show up on those platforms... If a user was using Win XP and had a package meant ONLY for Win7 advertised to them, they would not see it.... It seems as
though in CM12, if a user has advertisements meant for XP, Win7, 64 bit, etc... everything appears in teh application catalog. I also understand that the software center is meant for application publishing and not for regular packages as they were in 2007...
Is there a way to make the packages meant for XP to only appear in the users catalog and NOT show the Win 7 packages?
As we are in the middle of a Win 7 migration, we need to manage this without a lot of work within AD...

Hi,
In Configuration Manager 2012 packages and applications that are made available to users are always displayed in the Application Catalog, the platform requirement is not evaluated until the user actually tries to install the application then the requirements
are evaluated and the installation will not continue if there the requirements doesn't match the plattform.
Software Center will display all packages/programs and applications that are deployed as "available" to devices and not users. User targeted will always show up in the Application Catalog..

SCCM 2012 application catalog items not showing up

I have an SCCM 2012 package which is being deployed to a device collection
The users are not seeing this package appear in the application catalog, nor is it appearing in the software centre
Can we no longer deploy (advertise) to device collections for the users to install when needed?

If it is not appearing in Software Center, then either the deployment policy has not been retrieved by the client, it is not in the target collection, or has been filtered out due to platform restrictions (or some other restriction like that). Or the client
is not able to communicate with the MP, which would be a cause of the first option (the policy has not been retrieved by the client). You'd need to check to ensure that all is working on that end.

[SOLVED] - How to Rename a Win 7 Computer Using Powershell (deployment)

For those who just want to know what I'm trying to do here's my question:
How I can programmatically rename machines during the auditSystem/auditUser portion of Sysprep using PowerShell?
What is the exact command and/or function should I be issuing?
History:
I've scoured the web for a while but unsuccessfully located what I was looking for. I'm preparing a Windows 7 Enterprise x86 image for deployment, and I need to rename the machine to match our current PC name schema before it is joined to the domain.
I've managed to pull the information I needed to build the corret computer name thanks to Win32_BIOS.SerialNumber, Win32_ComputerSystem.Model and some IP<->Hashtable Array matching. The next step is to actually rename the machine; This is
where I'm having trouble.
I found this code online :
Function Rename-ComputerName ([string]$NewComputerName){
$ComputerInfo = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystem
$ComputerInfo.rename($NewComputerName)}
I also found
this code online :
function renameAndReboot([string]$computer, [string]$newname){
$comp = gwmi win32_computersystem -computer $computer
$os = gwmi win32_operatingsystem -computer $computer
$comp.Rename($newname)
$os.Reboot()}
Unfortunately, neither work in PowerShell on my reference image PC running Windows 7. (However the first one works in PowerShell on my XP Virtual PC.)
The ReturnValue is 1326 when run on the Win 7 machine as the Administrator. I'm not quite certain I understand what & why that fails or what exactly that code means.
Moving on, I decided to go down the WMIC path instead:
WMIC ComputerSystem where Name="%computername%" call Rename Name="$NewName"
This works in CMD.exe on Windows XP and to my surprise, in CMD.exe on Windows 7 as well! But, when run from PowerShell I get "Error: Invalid query".
Thinking PowerShell might not like the CMD.exe %COMPUTERNAME% environment variable, I sprang for the PowerShell $env:computername environment variable instead:
WMIC ComputerSystem where Name="$env:computername" call Rename Name="$NewName"
That unfortunately results in an 'Unexpected switch at this level' error.
Other suggestions I've seen online were to use netdom, but that's not part of the Win 7 install and since I've historically been able to do this through WMI calls, it should be possible to do this in Win 7, Vista, Server etc.
I'm completely open to the idea that perhaps I'm doing something wrong. If you have a tested solution, please share.

SCCM 2012 Application Catalog Website Point role Status is critical

Hi team,
In a client's SCCM 2012 R2 environment there is a Critical Icon and Status against one of two Application Catalog Website point roles. Looking at the Component status, there are no errors and all the components show as green.
Trying to find any warnings or errors in the messages for the Site System role doesnt show any errors, and I tried to reset counts but this has not changed the status.
I am not sure where to go from here. The application catalog itself works and is up. All the services are running. I am unsure as to where this error status comes from or what it pertains to.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
Please check portlctl.log and awebsctl.log to see if there is any error.
You could also check the thread below.
Symptom: Reporting Services Point Status (under Monitoring - System Status - Site Status) appears as Critical, No error messages in logs or status messages
Cause: 'Status' can be set to "2" for 'SMS SRS Reporting Point' in dbo.summarizer_sitesystem table in sql
Resolution: > Run below query:
update dbo.summarizer_sitesystem set status = '0' where SiteSystem = '["Display=\\abc.local\"]MSWNET:["SMS_SITE=ABC"]\\abc.local\' and role = 'SMS SRS Reporting Point'
> It should set the status back to 0.
> Check in console and errors should go away.
> In case if value reverts back then check below namespace in wmi of site server:
root\sms\site_pri\sms_sitesystemsummarizer
> check the value for reporting services point, ideally it should be 0, let's say it's set to 2 there as well then remove role of reporting services point.
> if entry for reporting services point goes away from both the places then it's good, you can re-install the reporting services point and it should work fine.
> Let's say if value/values doesn't get removed from sql/wmi , remove them manually via queries and then go with uninstall and re-install.
> then it should work and errors in console and common.log should go away.

Configure service application associations using PowerShell

Hi all,
I have configured my service applications with PowerShell scripts and created a new web applications (also with PowerShell scripts).
However, I don't seem to find the necessary information on how to configure the service application to be used by this new web application using PowerShell cmdlets.
Any idea on how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Florin

What you're describing is called a Proxy Group. You add Service Application Proxies to the Service Application Proxy Group, and that Proxy Group is assigned to the Web Application.
Step 1:
Use
New-SPServiceApplicationProxyGroup
Step 2:
Add Service Application Proxies by adding Members via
Add-SPServiceApplicationProxyGroupMember
Step 3:
Assign the Proxy Group to the Web Application via
Set-SPWebApplication -ServiceApplicationProxyGroup
Let us know if you need further help.

SCCM 2012: application catalog asks for credentials

Hi,
Our application catalog was working fine for weeks. Now suddenly it asks for credentials, the sccm-server is added to trusted sites.
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Disable it in client settings. Run a machine policy retrieval on an effected device. Confirm the policy run has complete in the policyevaluator.log. Check IE and confirm it's not trusted. Re-enable the setting and re-run process. Check it works or not.
Also ensure that nothing in GPO is overwriting what you have set in client settings.

Application Catalog window not resizing

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is an SCCM or h/w tablet issue. On a Lenovo Helix 3698 tablet when I open SCCM 2012 SP1 Application Catalog I have to scroll way over to the right to see Category and Requires Approval columns and the INSTALL button even with the screen
maximized. But this is the only app that does this - every other app and MS tool resizes to the window so I am not scrolling all over the place. And On a desktop in the same SCCM site the Application Catalog window resizes itself just fine.
Has anyone seen this and know how to resolve it?
Rhonda J. Layfield

Hi,
I think this might be caused by browser.
Please try to open the Application Catalog using another browser.
Try to turn add-ons off in Internet Explorer.
If the step 2 not works, please try to reset the IE.

SCCM 2012 use PowerShell to create a GlobalCondition, limiting the Deployment Type of an Application to certain operating systems.

Title says it all basically.
In the GUI im able to create a Global Condition (condition type: Expression) where I can add a clause that Limits the deployment type of an application to certain operating Systems (useful for deploying 64-bit apps).
Is there away to Trigger that Setting using PowerShell? So far I haven't found one.
Thx in advance...

I changed my script a little bit and can be found Here.
An example to use it is:
#Get Application named "Test" from the Server "localhost"
$app = Get-SCCMApplication "Test" "localhost"
#A rule will be created from the global condition rule "ForumTest" where the registry value equals to "1"
$rule1 = Create-SCCMGlobalConditionsRule . "ForumTest" "IsEquals" 1 "Registry"
#Add the rule to the requirement rule of the deployment type
$app.DeploymentTypes[0].Requirements.Add($rule1)
#And save the application
Save-SCCMApplication $app

SCCM 2012 Application and Packages Distribution

Hi Giants,
Its Great to work with SCCM 2012 with plenty of New Features.
Let me explain my requirement.
1. Office 2010 Professional Plus SP1 with 15 Language Packs included
-----MSP 1. Without Access
-----MSP 2. With Access
-----MSP 3. With Access and Retain Old Version Access
Now My Requirement.
1. We want to deploy Office with Access to "Collection 1" and Office without Access to "Collection 2"
2. If i create Office 2010 as a Application, i can create two deployment type with different command line, but i can select the deployment type while creating Deployment. [ There should of been a drop down option like Packages. :-( ]
3. If i create Office 2010 as a Package, i cannot use the detection method or requirement rules and even i cannot publish it to Application Catalog.
Now the Scenario.
1. I can create 2 application with same source with different command line and deploy to different collection, but if i update the content in the source package, i need to give a update content to both the applications.
2. Its not a big problem to give update content to both packages, but the problem is for 1st application if i give update content, sccm will find the difference and sent the changes to DP, and when i give update content to 2nd application the same process
happens and changes are transferred to DP.
Now the Problem
1. the effort involved in transferring the changes to DP becomes twice, which means 1 GB of changes will make 2 GB transfer to DP and when adding to Content Library, SCCM is smart enough to save 1 GB.
2. Is there any where we can avoid multiple transfer to DP which will eat the bandwidth.
3. Or is there a way to define which deployment type to used in Deployment.
4. Or is there a way to publish Packages to Application Catalog.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Torsten,
Thanks for the reply.
1. if i create a single application with two different Deployment type, that is two different command line, which requirement rules i can use to differentiate them, because there is no logical separation for these command lines.
i.e. DT1. Office with Access and DT2. Office without Access.
this separation is done only for the license and is it possible to create a requirement in a way that only if this specific device in a specific collection user "With Access" or "Without Access"
2. Yes, CM12 is smart enough to save disk space with content library, but that smartness is missing while transferring the content to DP, which mean increase in Bandwidth utilization.
3. Great, i was not aware that Classic Packages can be published to Software Catalog.
Thanks Again,
SithaYuvaraj.

SCCM Application Catalog Query / Report - List of Applications a User Can Install

Hello,
In SCCM, if a user launches the application catalog, they are presented with a list of application that they have access to install. We don't use the approval request feature. I was wondering if anyone knows of a report or SQL query that would
return the same results as if I launching the application catalog as that user. I just want the name of the application.
E.g. List all applications ADDOMAIN\JOHNDOE has access to install.
ADOBE Reader
Visio 2010
Access 2010 etc.
Thanks.
Yves

Find the collections were the user is member of (v_R_User -> v_FullCollectionMembership) and see which available deployments are available (v_DeploymentSummary).
