SCCM 2007 Technical Preview.
Tenant attach: View hardware inventory in Microsoft Endpoint Manager admin center
Hardware inventory can now be viewed for a tenant attached Configuration Manager device in the admin center.
Improvements to client data sources dashboard
The client data sources dashboard now offers an expanded selection of filters to view information about where clients get content. These new filters include:
- Single boundary group
- All boundary groups
- Internet clients
- Clients not associated with a boundary group
In the Configuration Manager console, go to the Monitoring workspace, expand Distribution Status, and select the Client Data Sources node. By default, the dashboard displays information for a single boundary group. Select another option to update the dashboard. If there’s no data available for the selected client group, the chart displays “This data is not yet available.”
The dashboard also includes a new tile for Content downloads using fallback source. This information helps you understand how often clients download content from an alternate source.
Fixed-width font now used in some console areas
Various areas in the Configuration Manager console now use the fixed-width font Consolas. This font provides consistent spacing and makes it easier to read. In this release, you’ll see the Consolas font in the following places:
- Application scripts
- Configuration item scripts
- WMI-based collection membership queries
- CMPivot queries
- Scripts
- Run PowerShell Script
- Run Command Line
Manage task sequence policy size
Configuration Manager technical preview version 2004 included new management insight rules for OS deployment. These insights help you manage the policy size of task sequences. Large task sequences cause problems with client processing.
To further help manage the size of task sequences, starting in this release Configuration Manager restricts the following actions for a task sequence that’s greater than 2 MB in size:
- Save changes in the task sequence editor
- Save changes with PowerShell cmdlets
- Import a new task sequence
- Any other change using supported SDK methods
Improvements to device timeline in the admin center
We’ve added additional events to the device timeline in the admin center. You can now see the following events:
- Event ID 20227 for VPN failure from the RAS client
- Event ID 20009 for MP communication roundtrip from Microsoft-ConfigMgr
