PowerShell Export Collection Members to CSV SCCM ConfigMgr

I was at a client’s yesterday and wanted to “True Up” SCCM/ConfigMgr’s Collection memberships compared to a spread sheet they had of their servers. Now I’m not an Excel wizard by any stretch of the Imagination! So the client said “Can you get me a CSV with the server names listed”.

The next thing that happened is bellow! It’s really quite a simple script when you think about it. As always comments throughout the script explain what is happening.

Anyway here it is:

Get Current or old Machine Name from WinPE VBScript

This script was designed to get the current or old computer name from WinPE and apply it to the Task Sequence Variable OSDComputerName.

It has been written in VBScript to not require PowerShell in the boot image.

Here is the script:

Scheduled Task Set ADR Disabled or Enabled SCCM ConfigMgr

When I setup a customers SCCM (ConfigMgr) site for patching I use ADR’s (Automatic Deployment Rules) to create a no hassle patching cycle each month.
This is done by automatically creating the monthly Software Update groups and then creating the deployments but NOT enabling them to the customer’s Pilot collections, Release Collections and Production Collections. This allows the customer to effectively “right click, enable” the deployment to that collection when ready.

The problem you have with this is the “Critical” security patches that are released out of the usual time period. You know the patches that cover that hole that no one noticed before release!
Anyway to get round that I create more ADR’s that run every day checking for a “Critical” Patch release. The issue with this is if left… Yep you guessed it, it will run on the monthly schedule day as well, which will just duplicate content.

So I came up with this Script to be run as a Scheduled Task by a service account just before the main ADR’s run and then later that day when they are complete.

Here is the Script:

Here is the XML for the Scheduled Task to disable the daily ADRs. You will have to change some details but this should get you going. When you want to re-enable it in the evening just change line 65 from Disable to enable:

Import IP Boundaries and Boundary Groups PowerShell SCCM ConfigMgr

This script is designed to work in harmony with the Export Sites and Subnets to CSV script I blogged about recently. The CSV file that is created by that script can then be used to import IP Subnet Boundaries and Groups with this PowerShell script.

Each Site will be Created as a Boundary Group and each Subnet listed with that Site in the CSV will be created as a IP Subnet Boundary associated to the Boundary Group.

Here is the Script:

Below is a demonstration of the Script complete:
