I was recently looking for a solution to add a device to SCCM Collection using the Task sequence. During the search, I have found Trevor has a blog post on this. So before I use the code in the task sequence, I plan to test it on a client device. The full code is given below. You will have to change the parameters where needed. cmd /c powershell.exe -Command "&{$Me = $Env:COMPUTERNAME; Invoke-command -Computername "SCCMSERVERFQDN" -ArgumentList $Me -scriptblock {param($Me)Import-Module ConfigurationManager; cd SITECODE:; $Computer = Get-CMDevice -Name $Me; if ($Computer){Add-CMDeviceCollectionDirectMembershipRule -CollectionID 'COLLECTIONID' -ResourceId $computer.resourceid}}}"Query to add device to collection Login to client computer that doesn't have…

Managing software updates and creation of custom reports in ConfigMgr is OCEAN. You have so much data to visualize based on your needs. One of the very common requirements or reports is, find out the missing/required updates of a device that is managed by SCCM. If you have not moved the device management solution to Microsoft Intune, especially windows updates and you are still with ConfigMgr, then this post is for you. I have written a couple of blog posts on finding the missing/required updates for a specific device in SCCM are listed below for your reference. http://eskonr.com/2016/08/sccm-configmgr-sql-query-to-find-top-x-missing-updates-for-specific-collection-for-specific-update-group/ http://eskonr.com/2015/12/sccm-configmgr-ssrs-report-get-list-of-missing-updates-for-pc-from-specific-software-update-group/ likewise,…
Intune has a Co-management eligibility report (currently in preview) which provides an eligibility evaluation for devices that can be co-managed. For devices to become co-managed, they must be running on windows 10 and enroll to Azure Active Directory. For a full set of intune reports, please refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/reports The other day, I was looking into the cloud-attached devices (preview) in Endpoint Manager for the co-management eligibility report. For more information about the Co-management eligibility report, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/reports#co-management-eligibility-report-organizational From the report, in the dropdown list, I am interested viewing only the devices that need AAD join. Generating the report reveals that…

Note: This article was first published on www.procloudguru.com by Alpesh .Since the website is down, I am publishing the content here. This post talks about the Administrative Units in Azure AD. I will also touch upon delegating mail recipients’ task for exchange online for one such similar AU. In an hybrid Exchange scenario where you sync your identities from your on-prem AD to Azure AD its a very important task to achieve to maintain the same level of delegation as you had on-prem for managing exchange mailboxes. You would probably wish to have similar controls delegated to your support staff on Exchange Online as well.…

That being said, not just Qualys but any SAML aware app can be integrated with Azure AD. I am listing down a few benefits of doing this. Frankly, I don't see a downside to this in anyway because if you are already paying for the Azure AD premium licenses then this is the…

In this blog post, i would like to discuss with you about a peculiar issue that I went through and had couple of reasons. a) Microsoft worked on this case for 2-3 days and they had all necessary logs right in front of them to nail this issue. But could not. (Not criticizing. They are humans too, I get it). b) It may be a rare scenario for the world but will be a very common scenario in Asia. Especially…
