#1 For the Mac SCCM Agent, download the CM DMG from MS, and extract the contents to a folder on a Mac (we’ll be using the contents of that folder to create a single package for deployment). Maybe they will be helpful maybe you can even improve the process. I thought I would share my scripts and notes here. Microsoft has went out of its way to force you to manually enter a password for PKI enrollment (older installs, it wasn’t necessary) not great if you’re trying to automate the installation. There you go, add the mac addresses and click OK once you are done.Initiating and completing the SCCM Agent install and Mac PKI enrollment process is nowhere as easy as it should be. If you have multiple mac addresses to add, repeat the step. Here is where you add new hardware identifiers.Įnter the hardware ID and click OK. On the Client Approval and Conflicting Records tab, under Duplicate hardware identifiers section, click Add button. On the Home tab, select the site and choose Hierarchy Settings. In the Configuration Manager console, go to Administration > Overview > Site Configuration > Sites. We will now look at steps to manage SCCM duplicate hardware identifiers. How to Manage SCCM duplicate hardware identifiers With this you exclude duplicate identifier and rely on the unique MAC address of each device.
Before Configuration Manager current branch version 1610 you could manually add MAC addresses of devices to the registry. The simple solution here is to exclude its MAC address. While the SMBIOS attribute should be unique, some hardware devices have duplicate identifiers. Suppose you reinstall a computer, the hardware identifier would be the same but the GUID used by Configuration Manager might be changed. SCCM uses the hardware identifier to identify clients that might be duplicates and alert you about conflicting records. May be it’s fine if you have less devices but it becomes difficult when you have got lot of such devices. When you want to re-image the same device using SCCM, you have to remove the old devices to add new devices for deployment.
I mean the adapter that works all the time.ĭevices such as Surface pro 3, dell tablets come with a unique MAC address. Not only these adapters are expensive they are difficult to get one when you need. Because the devices do not include on-board Ethernet port, the technicians have to use adapters to get the OSD working. If you have imaged devices such as Surface pro 3, you know the pain of using USB to Ethernet adapters. So you provide these devices to employees, they are installed with company specific apps and OS. You as an SCCM admin would want to reimage such devices using SCCM. While these devices are imaged and sent out to customers, re-imaging them is another big task. A lot of organizations today are replacing the laptops with devices such as Microsoft Surfaces, DELL XPS devices and tablets. This post is all about how to manage SCCM duplicate hardware identifiers.
