about_cofl.osdmanagement_configuration SHORT DESCRIPTION Explains how to configure the Cofl.OSDManagement module to manage computers in an MDT/AD WDS deployment system. LONG DESCRIPTION The Cofl.OSDManagement module for Windows Powershell is configured using the Configuration module, or with the Update-OSDConfiguration cmdlet. Configuration changes require re-connecting the module. There are a number of options that may be configured, which are listed here. AutoConnectOnImport The AutoConnectOnImport option governs if Connect-OSD will be automatically called during module import using the configuration options described here and loaded from the default Configuration scope. The default value is 'false': Connect-OSD will not be automatically called, and must be called manually for other cmdlets to function. ComputerNameTemplate The ComputerNameTemplate option is a C# format string accepting one value, the asset tag number of the computer. It is used to generate default names for computers in the MDT database created with New-OSDComputer if a name is not provided. If the string does not contain the substring "{0}", the asset tag will be appended to the end of the template. If the template is empty or null, the value "MDT-Computer-{0}" will be used. The default value is 'MDT-Computer-{0}'. DefaultOU The DefaultOU option governs two things: the OrganizationalUnit new computers will be created in in ActiveDirectory, and the OrganizationalUnit computers will be moved to in ActiveDirectory if the -MoveADComputer parameter is supplied to New-OSDComputer or Set-OSDComputerState. This option must be configured for the module to do anything useful without breaking horribly. The default value is 'OU=Setup,OU=Computers,DC=corp,DC=contoso,DC=com'. MDTSharePath The MDTSharePath option is an absolute local or UNC path to the root directory of an MDT Deployment Share. Vital information, such as SQL Server connection data, is pulled directly from the MDT share's configuration. The default value is '\\img-svr-01.corp.contoso.com\MDT_Share$'. EXAMPLES Example 1: Using Update-OSDConfiguration to set up configuration and auto-connect. PS C:\> Update-OSDConfiguration -MDTSharePath '\\img-svr-01.corp.contoso.com\MDT_Share$' -DefaultOU 'OU=Setup,OU=Computers,DC=corp,DC=contoso,DC=com' -ComputerNamTemplate 'Computer{0}' -AutoConnectOnImport $true Example 2: Updating configuration for an already-connected session. PS C:\> Update-OSDConfiguration @Options PS C:\> Disconnect-OSD PS C:\> Connect-OSD -UseConfiguredPath |
