Adding to SCCM Collections? Nov 25, 2019 15:51:05 GMT

Hello,

I'm looking into re-doing our imaging process and incorporating UI++. Our needs are pretty simple, a small group of technicians does all our out of box imaging, and I'm trying to cut down on the number of manual steps for them.

UI++ looks like it will cover most all of our needs, but I was wondering if it's possible to present the technician with a list of SCCM collections they can select from, then add the new client to the selected collection(s) once imaging is complete?

What you can probably do is use the drop down so the technician can only select one collection, and each collection in the drop down sets a different Task Sequence variable. In a separate step you can look at using a powershell script with the powershell sccm cmdlets to call on these variables to make the changes you want. I haven't done this before but I think the logic is sound.

The task sequence won't have access to those PS cmdlets, you'll need to utilize another method.

We're leveraging the ConfigMgr Webservice built by Nikolaj Andersen, gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ConfigMgr-WebService-100-572825b2 but security is a concern - whatever account you have the service run as will be able to perform any action as that user that the web service offers as long as you know the API key.

The user we have it running as can only add devices to specific collections, remove devices from specific collections and modify computer accounts in specific OUs. If you go the web service route, locking down what that user can do is an absolute must.
