If you work with SCCM and you use AD Forest Discovery to automatically create boundaries from AD Sites or Subnets, you know how important it is for AD to stay up to date with the current information. And when something is changed in Sites or Subnets, you need to be made aware of it so you can reflect the change in your SCCM boundaries and boundary groups. Unfortunately, communication between IT teams is not always what it should be, so I wrote this script to run as a scheduled task and keep an eye on any changes made in AD Sites and IP subnets.
The script works by retrieving the current site and subnet information and exporting it to cache files. The next time the script runs, it will compare the current information with the information in the cached files, and if anything has changed, a report will be sent by email detailing the changes.
It’s one way of ensuring you’re keeping SCCM in sync with your AD!
Do you know of any automated methods (ideally using Powershell) to run a forest discovery sync immediately? It would seem using a temp schedule is not feasible because the minimum poll is 1 day. The closest I got was a suggestion to restart the SMS Components service. However this doesn’t appear to kick-start a forest discovery. Any ideas or suggestions welcomed. Thanks.
