Script For Deleting Computers in SCCM 2012

Dears,
I need script to remove all the remain computers in SCCM 2012, sometimes we are going to delete some computers in active directory but the computers still remain in SCCM 2012, so I need script or query to find all the computers which removed from active
directory but still remain in SCCM 2012, because I don't want to go remove them manually one by one.'
Thanks..

Thanks for article but below are not clear for me. I know only meaning of site code which I replaced with the script but is not working. My site code is "S01"
1- why there is two site codes?
2- Why there is two local domain names?
3- What dose mean by installdrive and why we have two?
# $sitecode = "<sitecode>:"
# $sitecode = "PS1:"
# $installdrive = "<ConfigMgr Admin Console installation>"
# $installdrive = "C:"
# $loglocation = "<loglocation>"
# $loglocation = "D:\Logfiles\"
# $localdomain = "<domainname>"
# $localdomain = "ConfigMgrLab"
# $maxdevices = <maximum number of devices in your ConfigMgr environment>
# $maxdevices = 2000

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server
Thanks in Advance
NTRao

Hi,
There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
On Error Resume Next
Dim UIResManager
Dim Cache
Dim CacheSize
CacheSize=20000
Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
Or you could use a configuration item.

You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.

Is MDT must have for OS deployment in SCCM 2012

I know that existing MDT could be integrated to a new SCCM.
Is MDT must have for OS deployment in SCCM 2012 or SCCM has its own engine for OS deployment?
--- When you hit a wrong note its the next note that makes it good or bad. --- Miles Davis

Thanks for the answers.
one more question...
I am going to start SCCM deployment in test environment.
For OS deployment part:
if MDT is planned for integration with SCCM should I configure OS deployment in SCCM before adding MDT.
Or in this scenario OS deployment in SCCM could not be touched.
After all previous answers I understand that OS deployment module is part of SCCM installation and is independent from MDT.

Is there a way to see those deleted stale computers in SCCM 2012?

Hi,
There is an option in SCCM 2012 to only discover computers that have logged on to a domain in a given period of time and I believe that it deletes stale computers given that condition, right? Is there a way I can see those deleted computers? This is to investigate
why those computers are not logging in to the domain.
Thanks!

But as what I found out, stale computers are marked as decommissioned=yes only in the database and are not totally deleted. Can you confirm this?
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steverac/archive/2013/10/03/delete-behavior-for-devices-in-configmgr-2012.aspx
It is both true and not true. Deleted objects will stay database for approximately 48 hours before being removed, when manually deleted. It is unclear if this is also the case for maintenance task.

Prestage computer name for known/unknown computers in sccm 2012 R2 task sequence

How can we prestage computer name in SCCM 2012 Task Sequence?

Can you be a little more specific about what it is you're trying to do? Are you looking to create/import the computer record ahead of time and have it utilize that name during OS deployment?

Cannot publish Flash Updates Verification of file signature failed for file SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2 and WSUS all on same Windows Server 2012 machine

I am attempting to distribute Adobe Flash updates using SCUP 2011, SCCM 2012 R2, WSUS ver4 and Windows Server 2012. Everything installs without error. I have acquired a certificate for SCUP signing from the internal Enterprise CA. I have
verified the signing certificate has a 1024 bit key. I have imported the certificate into the server's Trusted Publishers and Trusted Root CA stores for the computer. When I attempt to publish a Flash update with Full content I receive the following
error:
2015-02-13 23:00:48.724 UTC Error Scup2011.21 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:
\\SCCM\UpdateServicesPackages\a2aa8ca4-3b96-4ad2-a508-67a6acbd78a4\3f82680a-9028-4048-ba53-85a4b4acfa12_1.cab
I have redone the certificates three times with no luck. I can import metadata, but any attempt to download content results in the verification error.
TIA

Hi Joyce,
This is embarrassing, I used that very post as my guide when deploying my certificate templates, but failed to change the bit length to 2048. Thank you for being my second set of eyes.
I changed my certificate key bit length to 2048, deleted the old cert from all certificate stores, acquired the a new signing cert, verified the key length was 2048, exported the new cert to pfx and cer files, imported into my Trusted publishers
and Trusted Root Authorities stores, reconfigured SCUP to use the new pfx file, rebooted the server and attempted to re-publish the updates with the following results:
2015-02-16 13:35:44.006 UTC Error Scup2011.4 Publisher.PublishPackage PublishPackage(): Operation Failed with Error: Verification of file signature failed for file:
\\SCCM\UpdateServicesPackages\a2aa8ca4-3b96-4ad2-a508-67a6acbd78a4\3f82680a-9028-4048-ba53-85a4b4acfa12_1.cab.
Is there a chance this content was already created and signed with the old cert, so installing the new cert has no effect? In ConfigMgr software updates I see 4 Flash updates, all marked Metadata Only (because they were originally published as "Automatic."
No Flash updates in the ConfigMgr console are marked as downloaded. I can't find any documentation on how the process of using SCUP for downloading content for an update marked Metadata Only actually works.
Comments and suggestions welcome.

What are the Query criterion property attributes to search for KB's in SCCM 2012

A client is ask what servers might have a particular hotfix(ex: KB2798040) installed. The Hotifx is not in our WSUS catalog because it is not a critical security patch so it is not downloaded. What is the SCCM 2012 R2 Query criterion property attributes
to find a particular KB?

Depending on the OS of the client, that information may not be collected by default.
Rather than collecting all of the HotfixID class, instead, consider using DCM for this single HotfixID.
Sherry has previously posted about ways to do this,
http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/skissinger/archive/2011/08/17/non-security-hotfix-detection-for-windows-7-2008.aspx
and here's a post by Nick which seems to be based on the very same approach:

Apple Script for deleting podcasts

I subscribe to a lot of podcasts, but I don't want to keep them in my iTunes library after I'm done listening to them. Is there an Apple Script for automatically deleting podcasts? Thanks.

Thanks - once I'm in Automator and select Music, I don't see any options for finding Podcasts. Any suggestions which item/step I should select next in Automator? Thanks.

Handling of pending reboot, exclusive updates for patch management with SCCM 2012

Hello,
Planning to use SCCM 2012, I would like to understand how smart is SCCM 2012 when dealing with specific patch management situation.
Assuming I have the following:
- A given server to be patched is missing a lot of updates, several being mutually exclusive. This typical case will require several reboot / patching to properly obtain a server fully up to date.
- A given server to be patched is in pending reboot state because the local admin installed new software and has not restarted the server yet as requested
- Those servers have configured maintenance windows of 2 hours during each night. I scheduled a deployment of missing patches authorizing restart.
--> when the maintenance window will be reached:
- will the server first be restarted to clean the pending reboot ?
- will the the server be patched / restarted several times as required to fully meet the updates to be deployed.
Another scenario on workstation side:
- can I enforce deployment of updates at a given time, do not automatically restart the workstation during patch deployment, but after deployment schedule a mandatory restart with a countdown if there is a pending reboot... From end-user perspective, it
would have the following behavior. For instance:
- patches are automatically installed on Monday at 10 AM
- as soon as deployment is done, warning message is displayed to ask users to reboot
- then user has up to 48h to restart his computer by himself. If he does not do it, it will be automatically done after countdown expires.
--> Can such a scenario be managed by SCCM 2012 ?
Regards.

Hi,
I have a related question about deploying Microsoft Security Updates to workstations via SCCM 2012. Is there a way to deploy the MS updates to workstations and only suppress reboots for machines with users logged on or locked? There seems to
be only 2 different options for reboots, Suppress them all or don't suppress them at all. We would like SCCM to reboot the machines that are logged off, but suppress the reboot for those that are logged on, while at the same time, provide the user with
a notification that their machine needs to be rebooted (at their convenience).
We've tried applying the Domain GPO "No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations" (Enabled) and "Configure Automatic Updates" (Disabled), but the logged on/locked machines still receive the restart countdown with no
option to postpone or delay.
This is a show stopper for us since we have an environment where we are absolutely not allowed to reboot a logged on machine.
For a little background, we are coming from SMS 2003 and the Distribute Software Updates (ITMU) way of deploying MS Updates, where we could always set the program to run "Only when no user is logged on".
Please tell me there is a way to achieve our desired result.
Thanks,
Dan

Improvements for Client Remediation in SCCM 2012 R2

Hello,
Is there any information available about Client Remediation improvements in SCCM 2012 R2 over previous versions?

If by previous version you mean ConfigMgr 2007, then yes, they added a health feature that runs as a scheduled task.
Remember though that nearly all agent health issues in ConfigMgr are not ConfigMgr's doing, they are the result of WMI. So really, it's about the OS you are using. If you are on XP (God help you) you are pretty much always going to have WMI issues for a
variety of reasons (including stupid user tricks). If you are on Win 7, then you're better off but you should also deploy KB2775511. Win 8, to my knowledge, is pretty solid as far as WMI goes.

Understanding background work for software distribution in SCCM 2012

Hi Team,
1.I want to know site to site communication for SCCM 2012.. and
2. want to know about package transfer to secondary site or content share background process.
3. In many of the content share server 200 package out of this 90 still showing inprogress.. I checked distribution point but no error.. I checked conponent status " saying xxx001 package processed.
Can some one answer this three question?

Hi,
Configuration Manager uses file-based replication to transfer packages between sites in your hierarchy.
Reference:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712701.aspx#BKMK_File_based
The blog below is talking about the Site to Site Communication in SCCM 2007, but it can help you understand the process of packages transfer to secondary site.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steverac/archive/2010/07/16/understanding-site-to-site-communication-in-sms-sccm.aspx
You could check Distmgr.log and sender.log to get more information. It should take some time in order to transfer so many packages.

Script for deleting objects on pasteboard

Anyone have a script that deletes all objects and text outside the page (or margins)?

Unfortunately in my Indi CS6 any pasteboard and spread item is "instance of spread".
So i consider geometrical bounds:
myDocument = app.activeDocument
cur_Ruler = myDocument.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin;
with(myDocument.viewPreferences){
    rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.spreadOrigin;}
myDocument.zeroPoint = [0,0];
aWidth = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth*2+10;
var objs = app.documents[0].pageItems.everyItem().getElements();
while(obj=objs.pop()){
a_left = obj.geometricBounds[1];
a_right = obj.geometricBounds[3];
     if(a_right <0 || a_left > aWidth){obj.remove()}
with(myDocument.viewPreferences){
    rulerOrigin = cur_Ruler} //back to the RulerOrigin

Skype for Business in OSD SCCM 2012?

I really wish folks would create their programs better. I have provisions to protect against the Crypto virus and the Skype for Business plugin has many little things it wants to run under the User Profile.
/sigh

Hi everyone,I am an IT Support Tech (helpdesk/desktop support) at my current employer, but I've extended my duties into working with SCCM 20012 R2 for a bit, mainly because we had no one doing anything with it (they had a consulting company come in and create some images and set it up), and I am extremely interested in System Center in general. My experience isn't all that much, I sort of just jumped in and got my feet wet because it was needed. We had 0 Windows updates on any computers going out to users, so I definitely saw this as a big problem, implemented updates in all of the images, and am working on getting all deployed computers updated (some departments are extremely sensitive to "leave your laptop overnight please").Anywho, to my question.I know that right now, Skype for Business is a Lync 2013 upgrade. Is there anyway for...
