  5. myITforum • Ron Crumbaker, myITforum • All things “System Center” • Since 1999 • Large and growing community (over 120,000 visitors a day) • Huge storehouse of System Center knowledge • Noobies to experts

  6. Sherry Kissinger • System Center Configuration Manager MVP • ‘mofmaster’ • Speaker • Works at a Fortune 50 company with over 300,000 ConfigMgr Clients, with the self-proclaimed “best CM team in the world”. (No egos on this team  Ok, perhaps a little.)

  7. Topics • Multiple approaches to get custom info into your db. • DCM ConfigItems • Inventory • SCUP (not covering that here) • Determining the right fit

  8. Determining the right fit • Is it a yes/no answer? • How long do you need the information? • Do you need the information from just 50% of your clients? Or all of them? (this is less important in cm12, but may be relevant in cm07)

  9. 1 Company CM12 Must Haves • The inventory and DCM rules we know we can’t live without in CM12 • Cm_localgroupmembers (DCM & hinv edit) • Got SCUP Cert? (App Deployment) • Hinv: A Regkey we’ve communicated to all that if you want to set a MW, populate a regkey locally with a value, and base a this-collection-is-only-for-MW collection query on it. • ComputerSystemProduct • DotNetFrameworks

  10. 1 Company CM12 Must Haves (cont’d) • ProcessorAddtl • Server Feature (Servers only)

  11. Example: Got SCUP Cert Decision (CM07) • In order to successfully deploy SCUPdates to clients, all clients targeted with SCUPdates (Adobe Flashplayer, for example) need to have a cert. For internal political reasons, we had to use a self-signed cert. • The DCM rule looks for 2 very specific registry keys which indicate that the self-signed cert is imported. If those keys exist, then compliant. • If those keys do not, then non-compliant… and fall into a collection, and that collection deserves getting the cert deployed via “normal” Soft Dist.
