Omar's Blog on Systems Management

I work as a Technical Consultant, specializing on Software Delivery (Deployment) with Getronics PinkRoccade in the Netherlands.

SMS is my main topic of interest (I do earn my living with it) but I am engaged to focus on organizational dynamics of Deployment as a whole.

SCCM Certificate Infrastructure example and checklist

Microsoft has published a few technet articles about the Certificates that are neccesary to have SCCM run in Native mode. They provide guidelines and a example setup of the certificate infrastructure. You can find it at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680312(TechNet.10).aspx

A Blog @ MyITForum.com!

At the MMS 2008 I've got an invitation from Rod Trent to start a blog at MyITForum.com. Ain't that cool? As soon as I have a little more time I'll be posting my first entry over there.

Ruff month...

It was a ruff month: the day I came home from MMS, my father passed away. After a week of arrangements and the funeral, I took some time off to spend two weeks in Spain with my family. I'm back now and I'll be taking up the postings and blogs soon again

SCCM R2 and SoftGrid Highlight review

The full integration of MAV 4.5 (SoftGrid) and SCCM and how well it is done really makes me happy. I have made a short high light report on the most important points they have presented during MMS 2008.

Infrastructure integration

the current SVAS infrastructure has been integrated into SCCM 2007 R2. By using HTTP and Virtual directories, it is now possible to stream any application from a IIS based Distribution Point.
HTTP streaming: SVAS used RTSP RTP protocols to manage streaming. The session I attended wasn't suitable to ask the presenter to elaborate on how streaming was controlled via HTTP. I'll add some info at this point when I know more!

Console integration

All deployment activities are integrated into the SCCM console. MSFT took care to have all former SG UI actions to deploy applications to look like the regular work you do in SCCM when you deploy a classic application. Changes have been made to the Advertisements interface to allow streaming from an available distribution point. The DP properties window now contains a 'Streaming' tab to enable / disable streaming.

Managed installation / deinstallation will only be available for virtualized applications, so if you are a package specialist and you do understand which way the word is coming to: You know which training / specialization you should choose.
