During Operating system deployment using SCCM task sequence, one of the most important log file is smsts.log whose location used to get changed during multiple phases of deployment.
During SCCM OSD, we can press F8 to open Command prompt and can navigate to any folder to look out for the logs.
(more…)In this blog, I will be showing you how to track and check SCCM package deployment through SCCM client log flow. Once you understand the complete log flow and including all the log files installed during this process, it will become very easy to track package installation in case it fails. You will be able to understand what information is present in which log file.
(more…)There are certain times when we need information about what SCCM Admin / user has made changes in last couple of hours / days. Today I am going to show you how easily you can fetch this information within SCCM console.

It could be anything, hence this is very handy in case we need to find out what specific user did and on which date.
In this blog we will cover few ways to verify the health of SCCM’s Management Point.

I have used Microsoft Word as an example. You need to make sure the winword.exe is enabled as Software meter rule in your SCCM environment. You may modify based upon your requirement and better to use it with parameter so that you can have a more powerful way to select from list of application:
