Improved automation and extensibility by exposing Configuration Manager functionality through a REST web API
Exposing Configuration Manager functionality through RESTful web API's would open up a whole new world for interacting with ConfigMgr.
E.g. a web Admin console and easier integration with Service Management Automation (SMA).
It should also be easier for 3rd party vendors to create new web based solutions for say an self-service portal or a Windows App for tracking an OS or application deployment on a mobile device or phone.
Personally I would really like any easier way to interact with ConfigMgr. when running in Windows PE (OS Deployment) or a web portal for non-admins to provision new or existing machine…157 votesstarted ·

Allow copy to clipboard for any fields in Resource Explorer (Ctrl-C)
Please add functionality to use the clipboard in the Device -> Resource Explorer tool.
This would enable us to quickly grab some information for one of the systems, like copy a MAC-address or MSI install code.
At the moment, we either have to export the whole table to .txt and filter using a text-editor or manually write out the information which is error-prone.Functionality should look like:
- Double click in a field in the table.
- Press Ctrl-C to copy to clipboard.106 votesstarted ·

Create a PowerShell cmdlet too add/edit/remove duplicate hardware identifiers
New-CMDuplicateHardwareIdentifier
Set-CMDuplicateHardwareIdentifier
Remove-CMDuplicateHardwareIdentifierPlease create cmdlets to add/edit/remove duplicate hardware identifiers. We have a large organization and those pesky Lenovo Yoga's get a USB to Ethernet dongle with each one. We have over 500 dongles currently, and I don't see a way to automate importing those MAC addresses. Thanks!

One Trace - Highlight
Highlight should also high the line in the filters box for easy reference to what color is being used. i.e. Entry Text Contains 'Fail' if red is chosen than that line should be highlighted red.

Get-CMScript by ScriptGUID
Get-CMScript does not provide on option to get scripts by scriptGUID. CMScripts are allowed to have the same name so we need a variable that is unique, ScriptGUID will do that. Currently I am not able to pass that value through Get-CMScript.

CM Messaging SDK Documentation shouldn't be a .chm help file AND...
The docs that exist for the CM Messaging (note, the messaging SDK is not a part of the larger CM SDK docs here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh442686(v=cmsdk.16).aspx) is currently a .chm Help file, which is lovably nostalgic.
However it doesn't do justice to the power of the SDK. For instance, Discovery and hardware inventory are barely covered in the SDK docs. I'm troubleshooting an issue now with the Messaging SDK in which a fake CM Client appears with Windows 6.2 NT Workstation, even though it is a fully patched Win10 machine. Weird stuff.
Anyway, it would be great if the docs were…

The latest iteration of the docs for the messaging SDK are here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt744369.aspx
Migrating to docs.microsoft.com and further fleshing out the documentation here is something that’s on our radar for the future.
