Modified: 2007/02/27 23:42 by 12.28.69.149 - Uncategorized


Next we need to go update cutomsettings.ini so ZTI will go look at our new DB values. Then we will update our deployment point then update our OSD Packackage files so the new customsettings.ini makes it into our package You would be suprised how many people forget this small step :-)


Open the Deployment Workbench and navigate to Deploy > Deployment Points and Right Click on your OSD Deployment point and select Configure DB.

Edit

The steps below will need to be repeated EVERY time the customsettings.ini is altered

  • Update Deployment Point Files
  • Update the OS Package Files
  • Update the DP's with the new Package
Edit

If those steps are not done every time customsettings.ini is updated you will not see the changes in behavior you expect


Update Deployment Point Files


Now right click on the OSD Deployment Point and select Update (files only).

Image

Update the OS Package Files


Open the SMS Administrator console and right click on your OSD package and select All Tasks > Update Operating System Package Files.

Image


Next you can (do not have to) go to your OSD Package Source and verify the new customsettings.ini file is now in the package source.

Here is a screenshot of my completed and functioning customsettings.ini file.

And here is the contents of the customsettings.ini file


[Settings]
Priority=MMPackages, Default

[Default] OSInstall=Y ScanStateArgs=/v:5 /o /c LoadStateArgs=/v:5 /c /lac UserDataLocation=AUTO
[SMS] SQLServer=HOST Database=SMS_XXX Table=v_Program Parameters=PackageID, Programname SQLSHARE=SMSClient
[MMPackages] SQLServer=HOST.SCCMADMIN.COM Database=BDD07AdminDB Netlib=DBNMPNTW SQLShare=\\host\SMSClient Table=MakeModelPackages Parameters=Make, Model Order=Sequence

Update the DP's with the new Package


then go right click on the OSD package and select Update Distribution Points os the new customsettings.ini file gets copied to your DP's.

Now go and deploy to the model you configured. It should install the package you specified in the Packages page.
