Leaving ConfigMgr MDT Integration - Replacing Gather

[@kennethjones8683]

This is awesome Johan - thank you. I always wondered when these VBS items within MDT would start to be translated to PS.

Johan, I normally have the company asset tag in the dell bios and in MDT standalone i have Mike Bunny settings for Prefex + %AssetTag% to give it a name of ABC1234 automatically. Does this script support this? Thank you

[@DeploymentResearch]

Nope, this script does not parse cs.ini. However, it's easy to accomplish with a few lines of PowerShell in the TS. Here is an example: github.com/DeploymentResearch/DRFiles/blob/master/Scripts/ConfigMgr/Set-ComputerNameBasedOnAssetTag.ps1 / Johan

How do I replace the MDT wizards?

[@Spoonuk666]

What wizards do you have in mind?

[@DeploymentResearch]

If you refer to the UDI wizard the MDT integration adds, there is no direct replacement. However, UI++ and the OSD Frontend community projects are pretty close. / Johan

@@DeploymentResearch UI++ seems to rely on VBScript, which is why we are getting away from MDT integration in the first place.
