When installing ConfigMgr 2007 with all default roles on the local server, you must decide on which drive the Distribution point (share) will be placed.
With ConfigMgr advanced driver management is possible for all kind of devices. Best practice for this is creating driver packages for all different devices, and put them in the Task Sequence used for deployment. With WMI queries you can decide then which driver package will be used on different types of devices.
When installing ConfigMgr 2007, there are many default collections in the console. Most collections will be never used actually. Only the "All Systems" is handy for recognizing all devices. Best thing is to move the default collections to a new collection. How this works I will explain in this blog.

When I'm implementing ConfigMgr 2007 at customers, default collections are almost not used. Only the "All Systems" is handy for recognizing devices. Mostly I create collections for existing or new Active Directory OU's. (for example: Desktops, Laptops, VDI). When devices are placed in this OU's you can browse for this. Use "Active Directory System Group Discovery" for that, and the query can be created.
With ConfigMgr 2007 it is possible to publish MSI applications. But what to do when there is an update for a specific application? In this blog I will explain what to do for removing the existing application on devices, and publish a new version of it. Then ConfigMgr is not only the recommend solution for updating App-V packages, but also for MSI applications!

Wanneer ik een technisch ontwerp aan het schrijven ben voor een Exchange 2010 omgeving dan maak ik altijd gebruik van de Mailbox Role Calculator (welke hier gedownload kan worden). Door het invullen van een aantal waarden vertelt deze tool mij uiteindelijk precies hoe mijn server met de Mailbox rol gesized moet worden. Zo specificeert de calculatie ook wat de grootte van de benodigde LUN’s voor de database en log bestanden moet worden. Hier zit alleen een addertje onder het gras!
