Retrieving licence key from SQL Database and assign it to SCCM

[win4free]

Hey guys,

 

This might sound crazy (and I guess it is, too), but I'm a bloody beginner with SCCM. And I got charged with what's the topic's title.

 

We've got a VBScript which originally was used in a NetInstall environment. It gets some variables (computer name, software to be deployed etc.) from the NetInstall script it's called in, connects to a SQL database in which all our licence keys are stored, searches for the right licence key (one of many, btw), retrieves it and gives it back to the NetInstall script. Than, NetInstall handles installation of the application using that precise key.

 

We've got about 60 or 70 apps which are installed that way. Not all of them require keys, of course, but there are enough who do.

 

Our client got fed up of NetInstall for some reason, and they want to use SCCM now. My job is to find out if there's a way to use this VBScript with SCCM.

 

Now, from what I DID find out, I'm pretty sure it's impossible. There seems to be some way to use MAK keys, for example for Office 2010 and the like, but that's not really what I'm searching for. I'm also pretty sure that I had found some "script install" option within SCCM, but I can't figure out where I did. (Perhaps anyone knows what I mean?)

 

So, yeah. Hope you guys bear with me and have some tips, because right now, I'd be happy for absolutly anything. Even for a "Forget it, it's impossible."

 

With best regards,
