Overview of this book

This practical cookbook is based on the 1602 current branch of System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). It shows you how to administer SCCM, giving you an essential toolbox of techniques to solve real-world scenarios. Packed with over 60 task-based and instantly usable recipes, you’ll discover how design a SCCM Infrastructure, and dive into topics such as the recommended SQL configuration for SCCM and how to deploy Windows 10 with Operating System Deployment (OSD). You will learn to easily manage Windows 10 devices by deploying applications, software updates, and feature upgrades, andl be able to leverage Mobile Device Management (MDM) using SCCM and Microsoft Intune. Finally, you see how to gather the inventory of all your PC park and create reports based on it. By the end of the book, you will have learned the best practices when working with SCCM and have a handy reference guide for troubleshooting.

Reducing collection dependencies with conditional rules and global conditions


The new application model in CM12, or later, introduces the strategy of allowing clients to determine if they should run an application instead of carving out a specific collection for the distribution. Instead of waiting for inventory and collection of refresh cycles on the server, deployments of smart applications are evaluated in real time by each client.

Getting ready

We will create an application that will run cmd.exe /C if a machine has at least 4 GB of RAM on board. cmd.exe /C is a simple command used for testing software deployments. The command launched a command prompt window for an instant, and then exits. We will make use of global conditions and rules to make an application that is far smarter than the old style packages.

How to do it...

  1. Navigate to Software Library | Applications. Click on Create Application in the ribbon to start the wizard.

  2. Under General, choose Manually specify the application information...
