The SCCM Out-of-Band (OOB) Management Console is a stand-alone executable that is typically launched from within the SCCM console application itself. There may be cases where different groups in an IT department will want to make use of the OOB access to clients, but should not have access to the other features of SCCM in order to maintain proper separation of duties and best known security practices. It is possible to use existing technologies to launch the OOB Management Console outside of the SCCM console application itself. This package contains documentation that explains the required SCCM security configuration and includes and example VBScript. You can download the package here:

I am oh so close to getting this working.
I edited the script constants as shown
Const SMSSITECODE = "VPD" 'Update this with your SCCM site code
Const SMSSERVER = "sccmsp1.vprodemo.com" 'Update this with your SCCM server name
Const COLID = "SMS00001"
then corrected the path on the executable on line 60
c:\program files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminUI\bin\oobconsole.exe
I took out the word Console in the program name part
I validated that the script is returning the correct resourceID and that i can open the oobm for this resource.
but when I try executing this from the command line:
c:\Docu...\Desktop>oobcon1 LENVT400
it responds with the error: Resource doesn't exist or is not an AMT capable machines.
Which is both frustrating and grammatically odd.
I am suspicious that my script command is not pointed correctly at the database. It is
sCMD = """c:\program files\Microsoft Configuration Manager Console\AdminUI\bin\oobconsole.exe""" & " -s dbsccm.vprodemo.com -t " & sResourceID
I know sResourceID is correct. I checked.
My hunch is that dbsccm.vprodemo.com is not the correct path to the data base.
Any insights? Has anyone used this script in production?
