SCCM Application Catalog

Leave a comment

The SCCM application catalog should be working again for self-service installs on Windows clients. Please update your SCCM client machine policy and try it out (see below for instructions). As always, let me know if you run into issues.

Note: The Application Catalog has not been made available to customers yet. You can test then while logged in with your regular or User+ account. On a customers workstation you can use “Run as different user” and point your browser to https://osu-cm-iis01.oregonstate.edu/cmApplicationCatalog.

How to update your SCCM client machine policy:

  • Go to Control Panel and click on Configuration Manager.
  • Click on the Actions tab and select “Machine Policy Retrieval & Evaluation Cycle.”
  • Click on Run Now.

Expectations (how things should be working):

  • Internet Explorer 10/11 (preferred) – Automatically passes your Windows credentials through and takes you to the Application Catalog website.
  • Firefox ESR latest version – Rawr, this connection is untrusted! Blahbity blah blah. Trust the connection, authenticate, activate Silverlight, and proceed as usual.
  • Chrome latest version – Authenticate, activate Silverlight, and proceed as usual.

VPN on Windows Image

1 Comment
I need to provide everyone with a little heads up regarding the VPN on our Windows image.
First and furmost, the switch over to the new MDT service and our processes, some computers may have made it through check-off without the OSU VPN being properly installed. We are working to address this issue.
Also, we will be changing our standard VPN from old Cisco client to AnyConnect (sds.oregonstate.edu).
Please let me know if you have any questions.

New MDT Service for the Bench

Leave a comment

The Bench will be moving over to our new MDT server this Monday, April 12, 2015. While we at the Bench are very excited, there might be short periods where we will be unable to perform builds as we work out the kinks. Jim Galloway will be camping down here to help us with getting the bugs worked out.

Since we may experience outages and delays, please do not take on any RUSH jobs. If a job is a rush, please be very clear that we will do our best, but cannot make any guarantees as to the turn-around time.

This Friday we will be building many loaners to have on hand if the need arises and we are down.

P&M Nypro Printer List

Leave a comment

via Ben Shields

At this point for the P&M Nypro move, everything seems to be in place. There are a couple outstanding things that contractors still have to do (wireless and some furniture), but otherwise things seem to be up and running. While things should be repointed to the new network locations (to the best of our knowledge), there are the following printers out in Nypro if someone needs them set up:

Device Location IP
Ricoh Aficio MP C3000 Nypro Reception Desk 10.130.92.128
Ricoh Aficio MP 3351 Nypro Customer Service Area 10.130.92.104
S1 10.130.92.127 (Queue name of S1)
S2 10.130.92.127 (Queue name of S2)
Xerox 1000 128.193.127.21
C901 (Fiery) 128.193.127.38
Ricoh Aficio MP 3351 Nypro Mailing Area 10.130.92.126
Ricoh Aficio MP 3351 Nypro Bindery Area 10.130.92.129
Ricoh Aficio MP 3351 Nypro Digital Area 10.130.92.130

 

The location on the Ricoh Aficio devices should always be included in the printer name so that customers know which device they’re printing to. For the S1/S2/Xerox/C901, those are their larger production printers – everyone knows where they are.
