Hi Stuart,
I have added an 'OSD' button to the webtools which allows to enter a machine
name, mac address and the desired OS to deploy.
Before adding to the collection I do some short check:
macAddress = Trim(txtMACAddress.value)
If Len(macAddress) = 0 Then
MsgBox "This is a new Machine, please enter
MAC Address", vbExclamation, "OSD"
Exit Sub
End If
If Len(macAddress) <> 17 Then
MsgBox "Please enter valid MAC Address
(aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff)", vbExclamation, "OSD"
Exit Sub
End If
macAddress = Replace(macAddress,"-",":")
maybe that gives you an idea for improvements
Regards,
Reto

Hi,
We use a customised variant of the Ron's webtools.
One of the tasks it presents to our Tech's is to add a machine to the
collection that can then F12 rebuild.
Despite trying a status filter rule to trigger the clear pxe method, it never
worked and I ended up with a Task Schedule running every 5 minutes that does
work.
This all works well, until we import a record that is incomplete, i.e. missing
the mac address. So in this case the box has been pulled from a cupboard and
the only details sccm has are from the ad discovery.
In this case the record is added to the collection but as there is no mac, the
f12 fails.
What I'd like to happen is this:
a) at the time of running the script to add to the collection, we query the
record for the mac and tell the operator whether there is one or not.
That alone would be useful, of course if we could then enter the details to
import it that would be better.
I haven't looked at doing this at all, I thought I'd ask first before
re-inventing the wheel, in case somebody has anything already.
