PEBuilder 5.0.1.2 Update

By -
A few weeks ago we release PEBuilder 5.0.0.1 this was to fix an issue that stopped applications from being added to the WinPE image. It appears that while compiling PEBuilder we made a typo that recreated the issue instead of fixing the issue we have corrected that in PEBuilder 5.0.1.2 and brought you a few other features. One big change you will see right away is that we have changed the WinPE architecture area to WinPE builds. We have added some preset configurations to choose from to help make the build process smother but don't worry you can still choose to create your own custom image. The other feature we added is the ability to export and import your settings so that you can now save all the configuration changes you have made to be used later.

SCCM Applications vs. SCCM Packages: Understanding the Key Differences

By -
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) is a versatile and powerful tool for managing devices, applications, and updates in an organization's IT environment. Among its many features, SCCM allows you to deploy software to your end-users in two primary ways: Applications and Packages. Although both methods have a similar goal, they have some key differences that IT administrators should understand when choosing the appropriate deployment method. In this blog post, we will explore these differences and help you decide which option is best for your organization.

Applications are suita...

Faster PXE boot times in SCCM 1606 and later

A new feature introduced with SCCM 1606 was being able to modify the boot times for PXE. This is done by modifying the TFTP block and window size of the boot image RamDisk. This was originally implemented to help a admin over come network requirement. This allows us to make the PXE boot times much faster for my self this meant taking a 10 minute boot time all the way down to 30 second boot time. In order to make this change you need to create 2 registry keys on your PXE enabled DP. Location : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP Name: RamDiskTFTPWindowSize Type : REG_DWORD Value : <customized window size> The default value is 1 (1 data block fills the window)  Location : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP Name: RamDiskTFTPBlockSize Type : REG_DWORD Value : <customized block size> The default value is 4096 (4k).  once you have added the registry keys you will need to restart  the Windows Deployment Service for the ch...
