How to Pin Configuration Manager Software Center to Taskbar

How to Pin 구성 관리자 소프트웨어 센터 to Taskbar with GPO on 윈도우 10 그리고 윈도우 서버.

Pin Software Center with GPO

1. Copy 소프트웨어 센터 link from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft System Center\Configuration Manager to Desktop and rename to SoftwareCenter;

2. Copy it to \\<your 도메인 name>\SYSVOL\<your 도메인 name>\스크립트;

3. Create a *.xml file (in my case pinup.xml) and paste the next script:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LayoutModificationTemplate
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification"
    xmlns:defaultlayout="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout"
    xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout"
    xmlns:taskbar="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/TaskbarLayout"
    Version="1">
  <CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>
    <defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
      <taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
        <taskbar:DesktopApp DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Internet Explorer.lnk"/>
        <taskbar:DesktopApp DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools\File Explorer.lnk"/>
        <taskbar:DesktopApp DesktopApplicationLinkPath="\\enterinit.com\sysvol\enterinit.com\scripts\SoftwareCenter.lnk"/>
      </taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
    </defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
  </CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>
</LayoutModificationTemplate>

4. In this script we pin to the taskbar: Internet Explorer, File Explorer, 그리고 SCCM 소프트웨어 센터. (do not pin File Explorer from %windir%, it’s work with bugs).

5. To remove the default pinned items, you must replace

FAQ

What happens if a user deletes an item we pinned to the Taskbar using the .xml file and Group Policy?

Users can delete an item we pinned to the Taskbar. 하지만, the icon will be added back the next time that we modify the .xml file. If you don’t modify the .xml file, the user’s configuration won’t change.

What if I add a shortcut that the user has already pinned to the Taskbar?

Nothing happens. 윈도우 won’t add a second icon.

What if we pin an item the end-user has already pinned to the Taskbar, and then we remove the icon through our .xml file?

The icon won’t be removed.

What if we remove a pinned app in the.xml file that we deployed with Group Policy?

The pinned item will be removed from the Taskbar as soon the Group Policy is applied when the user logs on again.

What if a user changes the order of the pinned items in the Taskbar?

The user’s order configuration will be maintained when we add or remove items.

What happens to the Taskbar if the computer is no longer targeted by a Group Policy?

The Taskbar will keep the configuration that we previously deployed via Group Policy.

What happens if I add Taskbar shortcuts to a .xml that is applied to 윈도우 10 1511 machines?

The older version of 윈도우 10 can’t read this .xml file and will ignore it altogether.
