Unfortunately, ConfigMgr doesn’t have a default filter for monitoring what is happening during an OS Deployment
Fortunately, it is rather easy to create a filter yourself
Open the Console and head to the Monitoring section, expand System Status and then on “Status Message Queries”
Now, Click on the “Create Status Message Query” on the ribbon..
Enter a name for your query – (EG OSD Deployment Monitoring) then click on Edit Query Statement
Click “Show Query Language” and copy the following code into the box:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
select SMS_StatusMessage.*, SMS_StatMsgInsStrings.*, SMS_StatMsgAttributes.*, SMS_StatMsgAttributes.AttributeTime from SMS_StatusMessage left join SMS_StatMsgInsStrings on SMS_StatMsgInsStrings.RecordID = SMS_StatusMessage.RecordID left join SMS_StatMsgAttributes on SMS_StatMsgAttributes.RecordID = SMS_StatusMessage.RecordID where SMS_StatMsgAttributes.AttributeID = 401 and SMS_StatMsgAttributes.AttributeValue = ##PRM:SMS_StatMsgAttributes.AttributeValue## and SMS_StatMsgAttributes.AttributeTime >= ##PRM:SMS_StatMsgAttributes.AttributeTime## order by SMS_StatMsgAttributes.AttributeTime DESC |
the text that is preceded by ## will act as a prompt for you later.
The window should now look like this:
Click OK until all the dialogs are closed.
Your query is almost ready to run.. All we need now is the Deployment ID you want to monitor.
This is obtained by going to your Task Sequence, Clicking on the “Deployments” tab and adding the “Deployment ID” column
Make a note of the Deployment ID then go back to your query in Statue Message Queries and run your query by selecting it and clicking “Show Messages” (Don’t double click it or you will open the editor!)
Click the “Property Value” and either type in your Deployment ID, or click on “Load Existing” and find it in the dropdown box
Finally, click on Time and choose the appropriate time range.
Your query will now be running and you can refresh (or set an auto-refresh) to see where your deployment is up to!
