Automated SCCM Bare-Metal Provisioning

Posted by Dan Brunton on Jun 25, 2009 9:10:04 AM

In order for Microsoft Systems Center Configuration Manager to provision a vPro system, via bare-metal provisioning, it needs to know its UUID (Also referred to as a GUID), MAC address, short name and FQDN.  This information can be collected into a CSV file and imported into SCCM manually, or automatically by leveraging a script and WMI.  This package will outline the security configuration and point you to resources you can use to create a script to automate this process.  You can get a copy here:

 

Update 6/25/2009:  An updated version of the script is available at the link below.

Dan,

 

Have you seen my article on this topic? I have a slightly different approach to it, which involves "watching" the amtopmgr.log file on an out-of-band service point to parse UUIDs from AMT hello messages, and then populate them into a collection.

I haven't proven the theory, but it should be easily doable.
