Inventorying Environmental Variables with SCCM

I needed to get Configuration Manager to collect information about environmental variables on client PCs (as we add a unique system variable to identify the version of the image that has been applied).  Out of the box Configuration Manager doesn’t do this, but after posting the question on one of the Configuration Manager TechNet forums I was directed to this.  Everything I needed was there (so I won’t bother repeating it here, but it served as a reminder on something that I had simply forgotten!), so big thanks to Sherry Kissinger and myITforum.com.

He ain’t a ‘Heavy’…

Have been quiet on the blogging front of late for a number of reasons.  Work has been particularly manic, as being a HE institution students are now returning coupled with the fact that quite a chunk of my time has had to dedicated to preparing and conducting technical interviews as part of my departments restructuring exercise.  In some ways it has been useful, in others not so much as it has highlighted some ‘areas of concern’.  What’s that you say? Skills gap….?

The other distraction of late has been Team Fortress 2.  I used to play TF back in the day but then moved over to the dark (console) side.  Well now I’m back and as a result have many many hours unaccounted for.  Happy days….!
