Script to delete any Drive:\smspkg\*.pck files of the specified file age

Posted on Updated on

There are many scripts and examples out there for cleaning up PCK files.  The below script is my rendition to cleanup PCK files that are older than the specified number of days.  This script can be executed via a package in ConfigMgr on systems that are a DP.  Oh and I added some basic logging to the script as well :-)


' Script to delete any Drive:\smspkg\*.pck files of the specified file age
sLogFile = "c:\windows\temp\dp_pck_cleanup.log"
iFileAge = 365

Set oFSO = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
Set oOutputFile = oFSO.OpenTextFile (sLogFile, 8, True) 
Set oWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.") 
Set colItems = oWMI.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_LogicalDisk") 

oOutputFile.WriteLine "******** PCK cleanup began ********  " & Date

For Each oDrive in colItems 
	sDrive=left(oDrive.caption,1) 
	'wscript.echo "sDrive: " & sDrive
	If (oFSO.FolderExists(sDrive & ":\smspkg\")) Then    
		oOutputFile.WriteLine "Smspkg exists on drive " & sDrive
		Set receive = oFSO.GetFolder(sDrive & ":\smspkg\") 
		Set colFiles = receive.Files 
		
		For Each oFile in colFiles 
			sFileName=(lcase(oFile))
			'wscript.echo sFileName
			If (right(sFileName, 4) = ".pck") then 
				'wscript.echo "This is a PCK file"
				If DateDiff("d", oFile.DateLastModified, Date) > iFileAge Then 
					oOutputFile.WriteLine oFile & " exists with modified date: " & oFile.DateLastModified & ", Size (MB):" & vbtab & int(oFile.Size/1048576) 
					oFSO.DeleteFile oFile,TRUE 
					oOutputFile.WriteLine "      Deleted successfully "
				End If 
			End If 
		Next 
	Else
		oOutputFile.WriteLine "No smspkg folder on " & sDrive

OSD Options Chooser v3

Posted on Updated on

The following custom HTA can be used during OSD when imaging computers with ConfigMgr.  It has been updated from my previous version and will do the following:

Remember to enable HTA support in your boot images – https://t3chn1ck.wordpress.com/2010/01/28/hta-support-in-sccm-boot-images/

OSDOptionsV3

<!--
Created by Nick Moseley https://t3chn1ck.wordpress.com
For this script to function, HTA support must have been added into the boot image
See for more information - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799244.aspx

This HTA/VBscript is used to present a GUI during imaging of a corporate PC. It prompts for:
	1) PC name (automatically populated if the PC already exists in SCCM)
	2) Time zone (currently just PST, AZT, and MST)
	3) If the PC will be used as a VM parent image or as a physical PC
	4) One-off software
	5) Additional browsers
	6) Department selection
	7) Management selection

Script to Rename Computer During OSD

Posted on Updated on

In assisting a recent customer implement an upgrade from WinXP to Win7, they requested that the names be changed to fit a new standard as part of the in-place imaging process.  In this particular case, all of the computers had a name that ended with a sequential number (1, 2, 3, …) plus an “A” tacked on at the end.  They wanted the “A” removed and for the PC name just to end with the sequential number.

This was a pretty easy fix to accomplish through a VBScript which

  1. Retrieves the active OSDComputerName task sequence variable
  2. Detects if the last letter is an “A”
  3. Truncates the name to remove the “A”
  4. Re-sets OSDComputerName to the new value

'==========================================================================
' NAME: PCNameStandardization.vbs
' AUTHOR: Nick Moseley, <a href="https://t3chn1ck.wordpress.com">https://t3chn1ck.wordpress.com</a>
' COMMENT: This script will detect if the current computer name ends with ' the letter 'A' so that it can be removed.
'==========================================================================
Option Explicit
Dim oTaskSequence, sComputerName, iNameLength
Set oTaskSequence = CreateObject ("Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment")

sComputerName = ucase(oTaskSequence("OSDComputerName")) iNameLength = Len(sComputerName)

If right(sComputerName,1) = "A" Then
oTaskSequence("OSDComputerName") = left(sComputerName, iNameLength-1)
  ' The echo statement is not displayed, but rather registered in SMSTS.log
wscript.echo ">>>> Set OSDComputerName from " & sComputerName & " to " & oTaskSequence("OSDComputerName")
End If

To add this into your task sequence:

  1. Put this script into a package for your general OSD Scripts
  2. Ensure you have the step to capture the computer name
    CaptureWinSettings
  3. Immediately after the capture windows settings, run the PC Standardization Script
    PCNameStandardization
  4. On whatever step you have that prompts for the PC Name, add a condition to not execute if variable OSDComputerName does not exist.  This is so that task sequence will not be held up on the other end waiting for someone to enter a PC name for one you’ve already set.
    PromptPCNameCondition
  5. Finally – ensure ConfigMgr environment is configured to automatically resolve conflicting records!  See this as to why https://t3chn1ck.wordpress.com/2013/02/14/error-initializing-client-registration-0x80040222/
