Anything else
Completely unrelated to this blog really, but I thought I’d lend a hand. A friend ha started a cleaning company in Southampton called “Maid2Clean Southampton” that provides general domestic cleaning and ironing duties to people in the Southampton area and Winchester and Romsey areas. These duties include things such as dusting, mopping and hoovering.
Their website is located at www.maid2clean.co.uk/southampton if you are in need of any cleaning 🙂
Here’s my collection to deploy the “power management” pack to clients. This is the MSP file that you get with R3 that clients need to have in order to manage power settings correctly. This collection selection should work, at least it seems to do so anyway!
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID, SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType, SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name, SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier, SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup, SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SMS_ADVANCED_CLIENT_STATE on SMS_G_System_SMS_ADVANCED_CLIENT_STATE.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_R_System.ClientType = 1 and SMS_G_System_SMS_ADVANCED_CLIENT_STATE.Name = “SmsPowerManagement” and SMS_G_System_SMS_ADVANCED_CLIENT_STATE.Version < “4.0.6487.2157”
Looking for a way of deploying and updating the SCCM SP2 client to old clients? Well, here is the collection I’ve been using. This will list all the clients that are not running Service Pack 2.
select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID, SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType, SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name, SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier, SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup, SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SMS_ADVANCED_CLIENT_STATE on SMS_G_System_SMS_ADVANCED_CLIENT_STATE.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_R_System.ClientType = 1 and SMS_G_System_SMS_ADVANCED_CLIENT_STATE.Name = “CcmFramework” and SMS_G_System_SMS_ADVANCED_CLIENT_STATE.Version < “4.0.6487.2000”
I’m still waiting for fibrecity to install their nice 100mb fibre to my house, so until they do I’m stuck with plain old copper. Living in a flat means that the connection speed is quite poor. Should be synced at about 16mb but alas I only get 10. Hopefully the fibre wil be good when it arrives.
In the mean time, to keep an eye on my connection I found this.
It’s been quite a while since I blogged about house prices, or anything to do with the economy at all really. Mostly because not much seems to be happening. Government prints some money, nothing much moves anywhere, least of all house prices which hae remained pretty much stable the alst few months. An odd rise here, and odd drop there but not a lot. Until that is, the Halifx’s latest report indicated a 3.6% drop in asking prices for September. Now, I know these are asking prices and I know it’s a monthly change but this is a pretty awful statistic. The quaterly change incidentally is 0.9%, which is not as awful. I suppose the next few months will be telling. The annual change is now +2.6%, which isn’t great considering inflation is something higher than that!
