Disable Action Center in Win 7 deployment thru SCCM 2012

[WorldBuilder]

Hi all,

 

I have SCCM 2012 and am using it to build and deploy PCs. First time ever, and I am still learning and very green! As part of my Windows 7 deployments, I have a "tweaks" file I created to disable certain things and remove features I don't want on the PCs.

 

Here is the code for my tweaks CMD file:

REM The following commend disables UAC:

%windir%\System32\reg.exe ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v EnableLUA

/t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

REM The following command disables the "Webclient" service on the client machine:

sc config webclient start= disabled

REM Turn OFF unnecessary Windows Features:

dism /online /disable-feature /FeatureName:TabletPCOC /NoRestart
dism /online /disable-feature /FeatureName:Xps-Foundation-Xps-Viewer /NoRestart
dism /online /disable-feature /FeatureName:Printing-XPSServices-Features /NoRestart
dism /online /disable-feature /FeatureName:MediaCenter /NoRestart
dism /online /disable-feature /FeatureName:OpticalMediaDisc /NoRestart
dism /online /disable-feature /FeatureName:WindowsGadgetPlatform /NoRestart
dism /online /disable-feature /FeatureName:VirtualPC /NoRestart

All working fine so far. But there is one more thing I would very much love to do... The "Action Center" in Windows 7. See attached screenshot.

 

It's just annoying and pointless in our environment. I want to totally disable it. Make it go away. Completely! For any and all users that may login.. And I'd love to do it as part of the script above. I have Googled to no avail. Can y'all gimme a hand? Help! Thanks!

The easiest method is probably using group policies. See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee617161(v=ws.10).aspx
