In this article, I will explain you how to create your own Microsoft EndPoint Configuration Manager lab in TP1911 version. This can also be reused to install a Current Branch version such as 1902.
A special post today because my blog just reached 1 million hits so for this time I won't speak about PowerShell, Intune, SCCM, WPF, nothing technical :-)
In this post I will share with you a little PowerShell GUI I in created to display before starting your deployment if your computer is not plug in. How to get it ?
Change the text or language You can change easily the text inside the GUI and also the title bar in order to add your own language for instance. I try to make it simple to add your own language. For that after downloading content proceed as below: 1. Open the file GUI_Config.xml 2. See below how looks like the XML content 3. Change the text with your language 4. See below the warning GUI and corresponding part in the XML
5. See below an overview in French
I will work on another version to change the language depending of the culture. Is your computer running on battery ? In order to display the GUI we have to find a way to detect if your computer is plugged-in or running on battery. For that we will use the WMI query below: gwmi -Class Win32_Battery).BatteryStatus -ne 2
We will use two methods to display the GUI: - Display the GUI once - Display the GUI until the computer is plug in Create the Wizard content 1. Download the wizard 2. Copy the folder to your server 3. Go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Deployment Toolkit\Templates\Distribution\Tools\x64 4. Copy the file ServiceUI.exe in the wizard folder: So far we have seen how to create the wizard content and how to customize it. Now let's see how to implement it in our SCCM environment. Create the SCCM package 1. Go to Software Library 2. Go to Application Management then Packages 3. Do a right click and select Create Package 4. Type a name like Battery warning wizard 5. Check This package contains source files 6. Click on Browse, then select the folder containing the warning wizard
7. Click on Next 8. Select Do not create a program
9. Click on Next 10. Click on Next 11. Click on Close Distribute the package 1. Do a right-click on your package 2. Select Distribute Content 3. Click on Next
4. Click on Add and select Distribution Point
5. Select your DP and click on OK
6. Click on Next 7. Click on Next 8. Click on Close Task Sequence implementation In this method we will create a Run command Line step that will work as below: - Detect if running on battery using the WMI query mentioned above - Run warning wizard: Only if the query returned true 1. Edit your TS 2. Click on Add, General then Run Command Line
3. Type a name like Run battery warning wizard 4. In the commandline part, add the one of the command line below depending of what you want to do: Display the GUI just once Display the GUI until the computer is plug in 5. See below how this step looks like
6. Click on the Options tab 7. Click on Add Condition 8. Select Query WMI
9. Add the below WMI query
10. See below how it looks like
11. Click on OK 12. Click on OK The GUI in action In the below example I integrated this warning in a custom TS. The warning is displayed until the computer is not plug in.
In this post I will show you the update of my tool ScreenMe that allows you to make screenshot under Windows PE and also on running OS. You can used it from MDT as well as from SCCM.
In this post I will show how to manage Intune resources using PowerShell and Graph. In my previous post, I explained how to interact with Intune using the Graph API from Graph Explorer.
