Trying to read checkboxes in add roles and features
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 08 Aug '17

Hello, Has anyone found a nice way of reading the checkboxes in the add roles and features wizard in Windows 2012 and 2016? I'm kind of stuck at the moment. Yes, I can use powershell but it doesn't fit with what I'm trying to do at the moment.

SCCM - feedback - Accessibility topic.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Hello all, I need to draw your attention to the System Center Configuration Manager feedback site and specifically the topic of accessibility. This feedback item has been marked as complete but in my opinion, as there are outstanding accessibility issues in 1702 - untested but unconfirmed as fixed in 1706, the topic should remain a very active area of discussion within this team. As my SCCM implementation really starts to grow legs and we're trying to do a lot more with it, the reports are really letting me down. I have no real way of finding out how my application or update deployments are going. This kind of thing needs to be addressed. I have asked on this feedback item that it be kept open. I ask those of you who can to echo this request. Mark and his team have done an exdceptional job. I can't express enough how much I appreciate it but I think they may be closing this without getting everything finished and that would be a shame for those of us who are spending a lot of time in SCCM. The address to the feedback item is here: https://configurationmanager.uservoice.com/forums/300492-ideas/suggestions/… Regards Darragh

Is SCCM good for smaller environments?
by Katherine M. Moss 18 Jul '17

18 Jul '17

Hey all, Not dealing necessarily with accessibility at all, but speaking of SCCM, is it good for the smaller environment? I'm curious because right now, the best we've been able to come up with is a combination between WDS, Otter, and WSUS for deployment and orchestration; well, Otter would have been used for Orchestration regardless simply because it's easier than Scorch to set up. My question is, though, does SCCM offer anything in the way of advantages over the cobbled together solution we have? Any reason why I should push SCCM? Resources are lower than we'd like, so right now, we're stuck with what we've got until we can get more (though between the four of us, we do manage to have about seven physical servers between local and offsite resources (though some of them are older and are being phased out.) one of the things that drives me insane with Microsoft software is the amount of Ram one single product takes . That's so far what's keeping us away; others in my group say, why use SCCM when something cobbled together takes less resources and works just as well?

OpsView Atom VS. SCOM
by Katherine M. Moss 18 Jul '17

18 Jul '17

Hi all, I'm curious about this. All of our hardware is either Dell (for servers and storage) and Ubiquiti (for networking). Dell, being the awesome vender they are, have one of the most comprehensive management platforms I've ever seen in OpenManage. The point here is . seemingly, I've not been able to find an opsView plugin that connects with OME/OMSA/OMCI at all . SCOM has one, but is awfully resource intensive (I think?) for only about 20 or so VMs (more are stood up all the time considering experiments are occurring all the time around here.) Any advantages with OpsView over SCOM either for accessibility, resource usage, or others? Any reason we should ditch OpsView for SCOM? SCOM seems to have more integrations with other products than OpsView does.
