Send a Weekly OS Deployment Summary Report with PowerShell

Here’s a script I wrote that sends a simple summary of ConfigMgr OS Deployments in the last week as an HTML-formatted email.

It gives you the start and finish date/time, duration and model for each computer deployed (where the information is available in SCCM), and a list of any steps in an error state for any of the deployments.

You can use a scheduled task to send this report to yourself each week for a nice deployment overview 🙂

OSDreport

Note: to generate ad-hoc reports for specific time-periods for any ConfigMgr Task Sequence you can use my tool ConfigMgr Task Sequence Monitor

Generate-OSDReport

At the top of the script, enter the following:

  • SQLServer name (and instance name where applicable)
  • ConfigMgr Database name
  • The time in hours past that the report will display data for
  • The name/s of your OSD tasks sequences
  • Email parameters

You need db_datareader permission to the ConfigMgr database with the account running the script.


#requires -Version 2

# Database info
$dataSource = 'mysqlserver\myinstance' # SQLServer\Instance
$database = 'CM_ABC' # Database name

Redistribute Failed Package Distributions in ConfigMgr with PowerShell

Here’s a little script I wrote based on one written by David O’Brien that allows you to redistribute failed package distributions in Configuration Manager by selecting which packages you want to redistribute.

First the script queries WMI to find packages that are not in the “installed” state, ie the distribution is not successfully completed.  It will then display these in PowerShell’s gridview so you can view details about the package and the distribution.

capture

Simply select which packages you wish to redistribute and click OK.

Using the “Distribution Point Job Queue Manager” available from the Configuration Manager toolkit is a great way to monitor the distributions:

capture

Invoke-PackageRedistribution

Enter your sitecode at the top of the script, and run in on your site server.


$SiteCode = "ABC"
$failures = Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\sms\site_$SiteCode -Query "SELECT * FROM SMS_PackageStatusDistPointsSummarizer WHERE State <> 0" |

        ForEach-Object {
