    Client Autoupgrade honors the maintenance windows. Maintenance windows are designed to give this kind of control for servers. Rather than create a 2nd way to do the same thing (because that's what makes products complex, is many ways to do similar things).... help me understand why you can't solve this with maintenance windows?

    Add workflow type experience in the DCM/Settings UI for dealing with more complex CIs... especially for handing things like If/Else/Or, etc.

    This is an issue with windows code that deals with time. 1/1/1970 will cause crashes when doing timezone adjustements (because it can become 12/31/1969) (even when simply converting to UTC)

    Best to never use 1/1/1970.

    Yes - database name needs to be "instance\database". Are you saying SCCM created this key wrong? or someone manually edited it to break it initially?

    This can be done today w/ #SCCM 1802 (and previous versions too). I will mark started… and watch comments for why this doesn’t just work… before I mark this straight up completed…

    Steps:
    1) On the CAS (or standalone primary), go to Administration → Hierarchy Configuration → Discovery methods
    2) right click on Active Directory System Discovery and bring up the Properties form. Active Directory Attributes tab, and then click on Custom. In the form that appears, type the name of the attribute. Click OK, and make sure you have added it as an attribute to discover. Run discovery after exiting properties form.
    3) Now when you go to the Devices view and right click on a device and go to its Properties form, you will see the new attribute showing up there.

    it is the GC.

    Admindjam (Product Director, or Executive, System Center Configuration Manager) commented  · 

    Do you just want this to see it in the UI? That's simpler that sync'ing it into the database. It's hard to copy into the database, because AD discovery is efficient when it syncs directly from the global catalog. I do not think desc is in the GC. If you just want it in the UI, perhaps the UI can sync realtime from AD when you view it.

  20. CMTrace needs multiple highlight rules, and highlighting shortcut.

    Request from @TheWMIGuy...

    The ability to run cmtrace from the command line, like this:

    Cmtrace /mergelogs: appdiscovery.log,appintenteval.log,smsts.log,appenforce.log

    Another request I saw on twitter... parameters for merging logs.
