General - Basic configuration

After a fresh installation, all plugins are configured to work by default. However, some adjustments should be made. The administration mode is launched via the ‘SCCM Manager Admin’ shortcut in the Start menu. This mode only starts if the user running the application is a member of the configured admin group (specified during the installation process; can be changed in the AppConfig.xml file). Further information on configuring the plugins can be found in the user manual under the Administration chapter or in the relevant plugin documentation.

Software Allocation Plugin

By default, all collections are available here. To ensure that only specific collections are displayed, the SQL statement must be modified in the relevant plugin configuration.

The statement automatically refers to the SCCM Manager database’s own views and tables.

Example of InstallCollectionQuery:

SELECT * FROM v_Collection WHERE Name LIKE '% - {INSTALL_POSTFIX}%'

In this example, in accordance with the naming convention, only those installation collections with the status APPROVED (as defined in the replacement strings configuration) are returned.

Client Creator and Reset Computer Plugin

These plugins include freely configurable graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for setting computer variables. A template is installed by default, which should be adapted to suit your own requirements. The included Dynamic GUI Editor tool is used to configure these plugins.

General

In addition, the ‘CollectionQuery’ value should be adjusted in some plugins. This value is used to filter the collections that can be selected for software installation in the following plugins: CollectionEditor, CollectionMembershipViewer, SoftwareAllocation, SoftwareAssignment
