Toolkit Summary
A collection of the most popular tools used by System Center Tools while consulting with customers on projects related to SCCM and Migrations. These tools are support on System Center Configuration Manager 2012 and up.
Enhanced Collection Updater
ECU automatically updates collections when an Active Directory group defined in collection criteria is modified. This tool is derived from the popular SCCM 2003/2007 era tools Enhanced System and Enhanced User Discovery.
Collection Exporter and Red Button Deployment Halt
Sometimes you complete a project and leave with full confidence that the infrastucture and solution is in good hands. Other times you cringe because you know that despite the training that was delivered and the knowledge transfer there remains a lack of understanding of the power and dangers inherent in a mass automation solution like System Center Configuration Manager. You wonder how long it will be before the servers are all restarted during business hours or the nightmare scenario of a rogue Task Sequence wiping out every system in the organization. This nightmare scenario is what this tool is designed to prevent. Even for the organization that has a handle on it mistakes can be made or a new guy hired. This tool monitors when a collection changes membership drastically due to query modification by an administrator. When the collection membership change exceeds a threshold then task sequences which may contain OS upgrade or disk formatting actions are automatically disabled.
The collection exporter also backs up all your collections to MOF each time a collection is modified. This enables rollback to a previous revision of the collection.
