Administrator Account Configuration in SCCM

Overview

This script automates the process of setting up an administrator account with secure settings in SCCM. It includes steps to create, manage, and distribute a package using the SCCM PowerShell module.

Instructions

1. Set Up Variables:
   • Define the necessary variables for your SCCM server, site code, script name, and other details.

   # Define Variables
   $SCCMServer = "\\YourSCCMServer"
   $SiteCode = "YourSiteCode"
   $ScriptName = "Administrator-Account-Configuration"
   $ScriptDescription = "Sets up the administrator account with secure settings."
   $PackageSourcePath = "C:\Scripts\$ScriptName"
               

2. Load the SCCM PowerShell Module and Connect to the SCCM Site:
   • Load the SCCM module and connect to your SCCM site using the defined site code.

   # Load SCCM PowerShell Module
   Import-Module "$($Env:SMS_ADMIN_UI_PATH)\..\ConfigurationManager.psd1" -Force
   
   # Connect to the SCCM Site
   cd "$SiteCode`:"
               

3. Check for Existing Packages and Remove if Necessary:
   • Ensure there are no conflicting packages by removing any existing packages with the same name.

   # Check if a package with the same name exists and delete it
   $ExistingPackages = Get-CMPackage -Name $ScriptName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
   
   if ($ExistingPackages) {
       foreach ($Package in $ExistingPackages) {
           Remove-CMPackage -Id $Package.PackageID -Force
       }
   }
               

4. Create the Package Source Directory and Script:
   • Create the directory for the package if it doesn’t exist and generate the PowerShell script content.

   # Create the Package Source Directory if it does not exist
   if (!(Test-Path -Path $PackageSourcePath)) {
       New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $PackageSourcePath -Force
   }
   
   # Create the PowerShell script
   $ScriptContent = @'
   # Sets up the administrator account with secure settings
   net user Administrator  /add y
   '@
   
   $ScriptPath = "$PackageSourcePath\Administrator-Account-Configuration.ps1"
   Set-Content -Path $ScriptPath -Value $ScriptContent
               

5. Create and Distribute the SCCM Package:
   • Create the SCCM package and program, and distribute the package to the specified distribution point.

   # Create the SCCM Package
   $Package = New-CMPackage `
       -Name $ScriptName `
       -Description $ScriptDescription `
       -Path $PackageSourcePath
   
   # Create a Program for the Package
   $Program = New-CMProgram `
       -PackageName $ScriptName `
       -StandardProgramName $ScriptName `
       -CommandLine "powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File Administrator-Account-Configuration.ps1" `
       -ProgramRunType "WhetherOrNotUserIsLoggedOn"
   
   # Distribute the Package to the Distribution Point but do not deploy
   Start-CMContentDistribution `
       -PackageName $ScriptName `
       -DistributionPointName "YourDistributionPointName"
