nry Posted November 16, 2012 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 Is there any way we can have newly built computers set with a custom maintenance window so that they pick up all deployed software without having to wait for the next available Maintenance Window set on that collection? As a school it is preferrable to have these computers fully available as soon as possible if they've been built - currently, if we deploy an OS then move the PC in SCCM to a suitable Device Collection (e.g. ICT Suite), it never picks up any deployed software until the maintenance window is available (set outside of school hours). I'd much prefer any deployed software to go straight onto a deployed OS (Task Sequence during build is not entirely appropriate nor manageable due to the level of new software titles we get) without this delay - is there any way this can be done?

GarthMJ Posted November 16, 2012 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 I’m sure that you can do this the question is how do you determine that a PC is newly deployed? Any of the ideas that I have will NOT guarantee that all PCs have are brand newly images but they will be new to CM07/CM12 BTW why not install them as part of your Task Sequence?

Tay Posted November 16, 2012 Report post Posted November 16, 2012 Create an ADR that is tied to a certain collection and move the newly deployed comp to that collection. Any device in that collection will be automatically updated. You can even create a pre-imaged OU in AD and then use a query rule on a collection to point to that OU. After your comp has been imaged and shows up in the pre-imaged OU it will be updated. When it is complete just move it out of the pre-imaged OU to whatever group it belongs to.
