- Install the SCCM agent on 1800 PCs and Servers throughout my "Enterprise"
- Perform software installations from SCCM
- Perform patching from SCCM (WSUS)
- Disable and remove the Altiris infrastructure
- Train the Help Desk and Desktop staff how to use SCCM for their needs
How are we performing against these objectives
- SCCM is installed for about 1100 PCs with about 200 more to finish installation on.
- This was done using a bunch of scripts to perform an uninstall of the "old" SMS 2003 environment from the machine (if it existed), perform an installation of SCCM 2007 and then check to see if it succeeded or failed because of WMI issues.
- Several hundred machines had WMI failures.
- We can push software from SCCM now that we have the Network Access account password set up.
- Patching is rolling out now, I should log in and verify how it is going ... but it's Thanksgiving weekend.
- Can't disable and remove Altiris yet as SCCM is not fully tested and training isn't finished.
- Can't train the help desk and desktop teams as they are "too busy" to receive new information.
I think tomorrow I'll post some of the code that I'm using to fix broken machines up here :)
