Hey, I am looking at expanding on Niall's CM2012 Front End HTA and wanted to know if I what I was planning to do was possible as I'm finding it hard to find a resource that give me definitive answer. Basically what I want to do is: Modify the HTA to have two drop down boxes, one for role and one for OU. Have the drop downs display a list of roles passed back from Maik Koster's webservices using GETOUs and GETROLES. Be able to select these roles and pass these variables into the task sequence. Is this do-able? Is this the best way of doing it? I've seen mention of how to do this by manually setting which OU's are available but this seems like an administrative overhead every time OU's are added/changed. Any tips? Thanks!

hello all, i´m new here and i´m new relativity new to SCCM. We have a huge active directory with many OU´s. At the moment, i try to create some device collection for windows updates based on OU. We have several locations with server-ou´s: Land\City\Server\ImportantServer Land\City\Server\MemberServer for about 100 locations. now i plan to deploy windows-updates distinguished by ImportantServer and MemberServer. I know, that I can make device collections based on OU in Membership Rules, but in the Query Statement, I have to give the complete path to the OU: select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.SystemOUName = "PATH OF THE OU" Now my question: is it possible to query all OU´s named "ImportantServer" and "MemberServer" in the complete active directory independent from the Land, City etc? I hope my question is understandable Thanks everybody for your help! Best regards Mathias
