List of ConfigMgr Reports

A mate rang today asking if I could send him a list of default ConfigMgr reports as he was in a meeting and unable to access a ConfigMgr server. I exported the list of reports from the console, (Right Click the “Reports” list, click “View”, click “Export List”). I then had a quick look on the net to see of there was a list of default ConfigMgr reports and, as far as I could see, there isn’t, so, there is now and you can find it here.

The Closer Look Series: Windows 7 – The Problem Steps Recorder

I thought I’d have a go at doing some kind of ongoing Windows 7 review piece. There are some great new features in 7 that warrant a closer look, so I thought I’d put together a series of videos highlighting some of these new features.

In the first VidCast, (I’m hoping that’s the right word, I’m fairly new to all this stuff), we’re looking at the Problem Steps Recorder, a great little utility with a couple of useful applications.

Script for Adding/Deleting App-V Apps

I wrote a VBScript that will ADD/DELETE an App-V sequenced application to/from the client. I was just a bit brassed off with using the MSI created by the sequencer when I was testing packages, it’s a lot of bulk for running a few custom actions and I found it clunky and slow. I did look around for an alternative and, other than adding the SFTMIME command line to a batch file, there wasn’t much else out there. If anyone knows of something which achieves this in a more impressive way or extends the functionality, let me know, so I can shed tears over a wasted evening.

Using a /p switch the script will also add the necessary permissions for adding/deleting the app along with the permission to allow streaming from a file.

Get the script.

I recorded a video demo of the script as well, more because I felt like it than anything else. Enjoy!
