Preventing non admins from re-installing a task sequence

[cytracks]

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way of preventing non admins from re-installing a task sequence that has been deployed to a client? We are a college and I'm concerned about students setting off the task sequence from the software centre for 'fun'. I've included a screen shot to illustrate my meaning.

Thanks,

Simon

Hi,

 

good question. I've got the same "problem".

In SCCM 2007 there was a way to get a Password - Pop Up Window. If you tipped in the wrong password it closed the Tasksequenz without doing anything.

 

Is there a way to do that in SCCM 2012?

If you are running SP1 you can solve this by advertising the TS only to Media and PXE. OR u cold make it hidden.

If you're on RTM, you can make it available only to an OS which you don't even have in your environment, then it won't show up in SC after installation. It will still be available to all via PXE boot (where I assume you have a password, preventing pranksters from reinstalling all your machines?).

Thanks fro your replies guys, I ended up taking a different approach.

 

I'm using a manual (e.g. I add devices manually) collection with the install Windows 7 task sequence deployed to it (rerun behavior is set to always rerun). I setup the status filter rule and vb script as described in the blog post:

This removes the device(s) from the collection after the task list successfully finishes, removing the task sequence from the software centre.
