MDT Packages & WSUS a very nice feature.

I long time ago I wrote a acticle mdt-automatisch-updates-via-wsus-laten-installeren-tijdens-het-deployen-van-het-os (Dutch) about using wsus with MDT.

After you deploy a Windows 7 SP1 machine updating takes a lot of time.

You can slipstream windows security updates when you deploy a machine… Windows 7 / Windows 8 / Windows 2008 R2 / Windows 2012.

How you do this: It’s quit simpley. Import de WSUS Content in to Packages.

The error is normal because not everything is imported.

Important:

Delete every time you do this. Update & Hotfix packages. If you don’t you will end in a error state when you deploy a machine.

Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack 1 Coming in Early 2014

Today on the Office blog Exchange Team announced that service pack 1 for the 2013 set of products including Office, SharePoint and Exchange will be released early next year. We know our Exchange customers have been looking for confirmation of the release but also have a desire for an early look at what’s coming with Exchange Server 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1). So let’s have a first look a few things you can expect to see in SP1. But wait… we haven’t released CU3 – well, news about CU3 is imminent – stay tuned for more information about CU3 coming very soon.

In this post we are highlighting a few of the notable improvements to be included in SP1. This isn’t an all-inclusive list, so stay tuned for additional details as we approach release.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 Support First answering one the most common questions since the release of Windows Server 2012 R2. Exchange 2013 SP1 will add Windows Server 2012 R2 as a supported operating system for Exchange Server 2013 with SP1. Let your planning begin.
  • S/MIME support for OWA Support for S/MIME in OWA will be brought back in SP1. With SP1 customers will have S/MIME support across Outlook, Exchange ActiveSync clients, and OWA.
  • Edge Transport Server Role The Edge Transport server role for Exchange Server 2013 will be available with SP1.
  • Fixes and Improvements Of course, SP1 will include fixes and improvements in areas you’ve helped us identity. SP1 is the first service pack issued in the new Exchange Server cumulative update release model – thus SP1 is essentially CU4. The installation of SP1 will follow the same process as the prior Exchange 2013 CU releases. SP1 will include all fixes included in previously released cumulative updates for Exchange 2013.

SP1 will require customers to update their Active Directory schema – customers should assume this requirement for all Exchange Server 2013 updates. Plan for this required update to quickly take advantage SP1 updates. Active Directory Schema updates for Exchange are additive and always backwards compatible with previous releases and versions.

Removing Windows 8.1 Built-in Applications

Last year Ben Hunter published a PowerShell script that is designed to remove the built-in Windows 8 applications when creating a Windows 8 image. Well now that Windows 8.1 has been released it must update the PowerShell script to work with Windows 8.1.

The script below takes a simple list of Apps and then removes the provisioned package and the package that is installed for the Administrator. To adjust the script for your requirements simply update the $AppList comma separated list to include the Apps you want to remove. The script is designed to work as part of an MDT or Configuration Manager task sequence. If it detects that you are running the script within a task sequence it will log the to the task sequence folder otherwise it will log to the Windows\temp folder.

I chanced the script a little bit. I don’t want to remove some programs dat Ben Hunter did…

The Script:

<#    
    ************************************************************************************************************
    Purpose:    Remove built in apps specified in list
    Pre-Reqs:    Windows 8.1
    ************************************************************************************************************

#—————————————————————————————————————
# Main Routine
#—————————————————————————————————————

# Get log path. Will log to Task Sequence log folder if the script is running in a Task Sequence
# Otherwise log to \windows\temp

try

{
$tsenv = New-Object -COMObject Microsoft.SMS.TSEnvironment
$logPath = $tsenv.Value(“LogPath”)
}
catch
{
Write-Host “This script is not running in a task sequence”
$logPath = $env:windir + “\temp”
}
$logFile = “$logPath\$($myInvocation.MyCommand).log”

# Start logging
Start-Transcript $logFile
Write-Host “Logging to $logFile”

# List of Applications that will be removed

$AppsList = “microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps”,”Microsoft.BingFinance”,”Microsoft.BingMaps”,`
“Microsoft.BingWeather”,”Microsoft.ZuneVideo”,”Microsoft.ZuneMusic”,”Microsoft.Media.PlayReadyClient.2″,`
“Microsoft.Media.PlayReadyClient.2″,”Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames”,”Microsoft.HelpAndTips”,”Microsoft.BingSports”,`
“Microsoft.BingNews”,”Microsoft.BingFoodAndDrink”,”Microsoft.BingTravel”,”Microsoft.WindowsReadingList”,`
“Microsoft.BingHealthAndFitness”,”Microsoft.WindowsAlarms”,”Microsoft.Reader”,”Microsoft.WindowsSoundRecorder”,”Microsoft.SkypeApp”

ForEach ($App in $AppsList)

{
$Packages = Get-AppxPackage | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $App}
if ($Packages -ne $null)
{
  Write-Host “Removing Appx Package: $App”
  foreach ($Package in $Packages)
      {
      Remove-AppxPackage -package $Package.PackageFullName
      }
}
else
{
      Write-Host “Unable to find package: $App”
}
$ProvisionedPackage = Get-AppxProvisionedPackage -online | Where-Object {$_.displayName -eq $App}
if ($ProvisionedPackage -ne $null)
{
      Write-Host “Removing Appx Provisioned Package: $App”
      remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online -packagename $ProvisionedPackage.PackageName
}
else
{
      Write-Host “Unable to find provisioned package: $App”
}
