Setting SCCM drive in Universal Dashboard

Product: PowerShell Universal
Version: 3.7.6

New-UDDashboard -Title 'PowerShell Universal' -Content{
    Import-Module ActiveDirectory

    # Site configuration
    $SiteCode = "MySite"
    $ProviderMachineName = "Server"

    # Customizations

    # Set the current location to be the site code.
    Set-Location "$($SiteCode):\" @initParams

I’ve found a couple forum posts regarding SCCM integration but have found none with any solutions being posted; has anyone found a way to integrate SCCM into Universal Dashboard, and if so, could you provide an example?

I cannot get the location to set no matter where I place the code in the dashboard’s script, whether before New-UDDashboard or nested within the contents. I’ve tried running the script in the default environment, Windows PowerShell, and 5.1.19041.1023.

Have you tried this in an environment startup script?

Also, what’s the behavior? Does it throw errors or doesn’t set the location properly?

rick.michika · February 14, 2023, 5:18pm

Here’s the log output on the dashboard, it doesn’t change in either scenario:
Waiting for dashboard information…
Dashboard information received. Starting dashboard.
Creating services.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal\Modules\Universal\Universal.psd1
Starting scheduler.
Dashboard configuration complete.

I have not tried it in an environment startup script. As near as I can tell it doesn’t even run the lines of code in the script. I attempted to use wait-debugger, but the dashboard does not show in the debugging section even though the page appears to be waiting.

If I do a get-module in the console I can see that the module is imported, but it doesn’t appear to like to set the location, nor does it recognize any of the module’s commands.

Since it doesn’t seem to be throwing errors, can you try this?

    # Set the current location to be the site code.
    Set-Location "$($SiteCode):\" @initParams
    Show-UDToast (Get-Location).Path

So the toast shows our site, however when attempting to run a command from the module we get this error:

This command cannot be run from the current drive. To run this command you must first connect to a Configuration Manager drive.
An error occurred: This command cannot be run from the current drive. To run this command you must first connect to a Configuration Manager drive.
Endpoint: bd2d171f-11f8-4900-9f61-d844573b6d2b
Session: , User:

Which indicates that the location isn’t set properly.

@adam Did you have any other ideas, or have you heard of anyone else running SCCM integration into a dashboard?

rick.michika · February 20, 2023, 4:46pm

Going off your suggestion of using an environment/startup script for this, it appears that does not work.

Here’s my setup:

The Set_SCCM_Location.ps1 contains:

# Site configuration
$SiteCode = "MySite" # Site code 
$ProviderMachineName = "MyServer" # SMS Provider machine name

# Customizations
$initParams = @{}
#$initParams.Add("Verbose", $true) # Uncomment this line to enable verbose logging
#$initParams.Add("ErrorAction", "Stop") # Uncomment this line to stop the script on any errors

# Do not change anything below this line

# Import the ConfigurationManager.psd1 module 
if($null -eq (Get-Module ConfigurationManager)) {
    Import-Module "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Endpoint Manager\AdminConsole\bin\ConfigurationManager\ConfigurationManager.psd1" @initParams 
}

# Connect to the site's drive if it is not already present
if($null -eq (Get-PSDrive -Name $SiteCode -PSProvider CMSite -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
    New-PSDrive -Name $SiteCode -PSProvider CMSite -Root $ProviderMachineName @initParams
}

# Set the current location to be the site code.
Set-Location "$($SiteCode):\" @initParams

Dashboard loads fine, but the location is not set. (Get-Location).Path returns C:\ProgramData\UniversalAutomation\Repository.

I have a page that I’ve built to allow people to add MAC address exceptions using the ConfigMgr module. I have a script that I wrote to do the actual work and call it from the dashboard via Invoke-PSUScript.

Script:

param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
    [string]
    $SiteServer = 'SCCM.domain.com', ## Set default site server
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
    [string]
    $SiteCode = 'ABC', ## Set default site code
    [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
    [string]
    $MACAddress
)


$CMModulePath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Endpoint Manager\AdminConsole\bin\configurationmanager.psd1"

Unblock-File -Path $CMModulePath

Import-Module $CMModulePath



try {
    New-PSDrive -Name $SiteCode -PSProvider 'CMSite' -Root $SiteServer -Description 'ConfigMgr PSDrive'
    Set-Location 'EG1:'
    if ($MACAddress -match '^[0-9A-Fa-f]{2}([:-]?)(?:[0-9A-Fa-f]{2}\1){4}[0-9A-Fa-f]{2}$') {
        if ($MACAddress -match '^(?![A-Za-z]+$)[0-9A-Za-z]+$') {
            $NewMAC = ($MACAddress -split '([A-Z0-9]{2})' | Where-Object { $_ }) -join ':'
        }
        else {
            $NewMAC = $MACAddress -replace ('-', ':')
        }
    }
    else {
        $CharLength = $MACAddress.Length
        if ($MACAddress -match '^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$' -and $CharLength -ne '12') {
            [PSCustomObject]@{
                'Valid'   = 'Error'
                'Message' = "$MACAddress is $CharLength characters, it must be 12"
            }
        }
        else {

                'Message' = "$NewMAC added successfully"
            }
        }
        else {

Thanks!!!

I’ll give this a try and get back.
