I just signed up with GitHub today and setup my repository. I will be placing all new stuff within GitHub for download as well as slowly transitioning code and such from existing posts to GitHub. There is a link at the top right of the blog, but the url is https://github.com/NecroMonkey

I am including the template and the code to add to VSCode to make it a snippet. I also have the code and snippets for adding the logging within the script.

ConfigMgr Technical Previews 1805 and 1806
Technical Previews 1805 and 1806 have been released and each introduced some cool features I cannot wait to test out.
Technical Preview 1805
- CMPivot – This has to be the coolest feature add in a long time and will be a game changer. Gone should be the days of the Slow Moving System (SMS). It is a query tool that lets admins get real-time data on clients. You are able to query against connected devices and no longer have to wait for inventory.
- Current logged in user – Get information on the current logged in user of a system in the console.
- CMTrace – This lovely log viewing tool in now installed by default with the client install

Technical Preview 1806
- 3rd Party Updates – You can now subscribe to 3rd party update catalogs from within the console and publish to your software update points. ConfigMan will also sync with the catalog periodically to keep them up to date. I haven’t had a chance to test and see if this requires SCUP to still be installed somewhere.
- Package conversion manager – This tool in now part of ConfigMgr and can be used to convert classic packages to modern applications.
