The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

SCCM 2007 - Deploy software to single machine

Asked by PDiBartolo in MS System Center

I have recently begun testing SCCM 2007 in a test environment.  Right now I have a SCCM server configured, extended the AD schema and added 4 client machines (segregated in a seperate OU).  I have everything working as expected.  Being new to the software I am finding it hard to mimic our current deployment setup.  Basically, we use Group Policy to deploy software.  I create a startup script and with the use of filtered security I place a machine account in a security group ask the client to reboot and voila it works.  We have deployed quite a bit of software this way.  So in SCCM I was successful at using the AD group in as a collection and then deploying the software out using that same collection.  But with active directory system discovery takes quite a bit of time before the computer shows up in the collection.  

My question is; how frequent should active directory system discovery run and is there an easier way to deploy a software package out to one computer without having to create a separate collection for the computer record?  In our organization, someone asks for software (Acrobat pro) we place them in a group ask them to reboot and they get the software relatively quick with the help of a startup script.  I would like to do the same with SCCM.  Right now I have active directory system discovery running every hour.  Can I lower that to 15 minutes which would solve my problem?  

Our local environment will consist of:
2 DC's 2003 AD level
40 servers 2003+
400 client machines XP SP3
All systems running within the same local office on 6 or so different subnets.  All gigabit.

Thanks
Phil
