Jul 17, 2014 - Total Usage for All Metered Software Programs Query Matches the Executable Name. Found in System Center 2012 Configuration Manager (CM12), so I thought that I would share it with all of you. Sometime before I ran this report, a software metering rule for Microsoft®. Custom Inventory Reporting.
Discovery Methods. Active Directory System Discovery – Discovers computers from the specified locations in Active Directory Domain Services. Active Directory User Discovery - Discovers user accounts from the specified locations in Active Directory Domain Services. Active Directory Security Group Discovery - Discovers security groups, including local, global, and universal groups from the specified locations in Active Directory Domain Services. Active Directory System Group Discovery – Discovers additional information about previously discovered computers from the specified locations in Active Directory Domain Services.
This information includes the OU and group membership of the computer. Active Directory System Group Discovery does not discover information about new resources that did not previously exist in the Configuration Manager site database. Heartbeat Discovery – Used by active Configuration Manager clients to update their discovery records in the database. Because it is initiated by an active client, Heartbeat Discovery does not discover new resources. Network Discovery – Searches your network infrastructure for network devices that have an IP address. This allows you to discover devices that might not be found by other discovery methods, including printers, routers, and bridges. The Asset Intelligence Configuration Manager feature allows administrators to inventory and manage software in use throughout the Configuration Manager hierarchy.
Asset Intelligence enhances the inventory capabilities of Configuration Manager 2007 and Configuration Manager 2007 SP1 to help manage software in use and software license management in the enterprise. Many additional Asset Intelligence specific inventory classes improve the breadth of information gathered about hardware and software assets. Powering on one or many computers (for example, for maintenance on computers outside business hours). Powering off one or many computers (for example, the operating system stops responding).
Restarting a non functioning computer or booting from a locally connected device or known good boot image file. Re-imaging a computer by booting from a boot image file that is located on the network or by using a PXE server. Reconfiguring the BIOS settings on a selected computer (and bypassing the BIOS password if this is supported by the BIOS manufacturer). Booting to a command-based operating system to run commands, repair tools, or diagnostic applications (for example, upgrading the firmware or running a disk repair tool).
Configuring scheduled software deployments to wake up computers before the computers are running. Verifies that Sysprep can run. Only an administrator can run Sysprep, and only one instance of Sysprep can run at a given time. Also, Sysprep must run on the version of Windows with which it was installed. Initializes logging. Parses command-line arguments. If no command-line arguments were provided, the Sysprep window appears that enables users to specify Sysprep actions.

Processes Sysprep actions, calls appropriate.dll files and executable files, and adds actions to the log file. Verifies that all.dll files have processed all their tasks, and then either shuts down the system, restarts the system, or exits Sysprep. Hi Guys, Again i am back with very common information about DHCP,WDS & PXE and issues troubleshooting and their solutions. DHCP, WDS, and PXE are the main and needed components which plays very important role in SCCM OSD. They function and provide a very cool and automatize the OS installations (Network based). So why is the Need? DHCP: DHCP offers automatic ip address assigning functionality to machines at both booting state and online state.
DHCP Scope options are one main key component. WDS: WDS offers the PXE functionality (Not SCCM) for network based OS installation (boots machine in to windows installation mode from network) So when we install the SCCM PXE service Point on WDS Server, It just overrides the settings of WDS PXE. Now Common PXE Boot Issues: PXE-E53: No boot filename received PXE-T01: File not found PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File not Found PXE-E55 Proxy DHCP Service did not reply to request on port 4011 PXE-T04: Access Violation PXE-E36: Error Received from TFTP Server PXE-M. Hyper-V Questions and answers! VIRTUAL MACHINE TECHNOLOGY Q. What is virtual machine technology? Virtual machine technology applies to both server and client hardware.
Virtual machine technology enables multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single machine. In particular, Hyper-V, a key feature of Windows Server 2008 R2, enables one or more operating systems to run simultaneously on the same physical system. Today, many operating systems are supported by Virtual PC 2007, Virtual Server 2005, and Hyper-V. What is virtual machine technology used for?

Virtual machine technology serves a variety of purposes. It enables hardware consolidation, because multiple operating systems can run on one computer. Key applications for virtual machine technology include cross-platform integration as well as the following: Server consolidation. If several servers run applications that consume only a fraction of the available resources, virtual machine technology can be us.
