Block Browser Choice

So whats this thing about Broswer Choice to start with ? Well you can read more about it here.

So if you would like to block this behaviour like most enterprise organisations want to do. There is a way to block that this updates comes into play. You simply just need to add a registry value to your machines. If the registry key is present the users will not experience the Browser Choice experience on that machine.

Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareBrowserChoice
Value Name: Enabled
Value Type: DWORD
Possible Values: 1 Display browser choice update
                                0 Do not display browser choice update

There are different ways of adding it , choose the method that suites your environment best.If you just want to test it on your own machine simply run this command , and verify that the reg value is there.

Download Config Mgr prereqs !

Is it possible to just download the prerequsites on forehand if you dont have Internet access on the server where you intend to install Configuration Manager.

Yes you can , you need to use the command  without the quotes “MEDIAPATH:SMSSETUPBINI386setup.exe /download drive:path”

Make sure the folder you download to is created before you execute the command otherwise it will not launch.

Creating a domain-join account

I just got the question on what rights the domain join account needs. So here it is.

First of all you need to create an account for it in this example I named min svc-sccm-domainjoin and then locate the OU where your computer accounts will reside in. And then right click on it and set the security rights.

First you need to set the following rights on the OU and with the setting Apply to: This object and all descendant objects.

• Create Computer Object
• Delete Computer Object

After that you need to add the following rights with the setting apply to: Descendant Computer objects.

• Read All Properties
• Write All Properties
• Read Permissions
• Modify Permissions

• Change Password
• Reset Password
• Validated write to DNS host name
• Validated write to service princ
