ConfigMgr Powershell scripts presented at Houston PFE Tech Day

  • Article

As promised during #HoustonTechDay, I have uploaded the Powershell scripts that I presented.  Disclaimer: All of my scripts are a continual “work in progress” so please always test in a lab to determine if you get the desired results.  As such, if you do find any bugs, issues, or have some ideas for enhancing these scripts, feel free to let me know so I can correct them.

Thanks to all who attended the event!

I also HIGHLY recommend checking out MVP David OBrien’s CM12 documentation builder script which is extremely cool.  Another very cool script I recommend checking out is Nikolaj Andersen’s Configuration Manager 2012 Prerequisites tool.
