Using REST API to get / set device variables
Hi, I'm trying to set a couple of variables against a machine name, through using the REST API. These are the variables that are set that you can see in the console if you right click properties on a device and go to the 'Variables' tab. These are handy because they can later be referenced during Task Sequences / OSD. I just can't figure out how to do it with the REST API. I have no issues doing it with the powershell module using the 'New-CMDeviceVariable' command, but my solution i'm building at the moment requires the solution to be done with rest api, not with ps modules... I can connect to REST API using powershell using commands such as the below. This all works fine. $ConfigMgrServerURL = "https://SCCMserver.domain.local" $MachineName = "MachineName1" # Following command is a sample GET request, which works. (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "$ConfigMgrServerURL/AdminService/wmi/SMS_R_System?`$filter=Name eq '$MachineName'" -Credential $Credential) #I can also fetch "Custom Properties" via this command (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "$ConfigMgrServerURL/AdminService/v1.0/Device($ResourceID)/AdminService.GetExtensionData" -Credential $Credential) Now i just can't see where i can go to set a variable on the machine. Does anyone have any ideas ? Thanks!
0 storage consumed on protected devices
Hello! My System Center 2022 DPM console shows that some protected devices take up 0kb of storage. I know its inaccurate because I can recover data from those devices. Any idea as to how to get the accurate storage consumed number to show? I tried running the "Update-DPMProductionServer" command via the DPM management shell and it tells me that it cant convert the value.VMM Module in PowerShell 7
With the latest news in the tech industry, when can we expect to see the System Center PowerShell modules to be supported in PowerShell 7.0? I believe MECM/MEM works in pwsh7 already but VMM doesn't at this point. Requiring a Windows machine to use the VMM module doesn't make a ton of sense.
