Custom Properties for SCCM Blueprints
vRealize Automation includes custom properties that you can use to provide additional controls for SCCM
blueprints.
Certain custom properties are required to use with SCCM blueprints.
Table 4‑13. Required Custom Properties for SCCM Blueprints
Custom Property Description
Image.ISO.Location
Values for this property are case sensitive. Specifies the location
of the ISO image from which to boot, for example
http://192.168.2.100/site2/winpe.iso. The format of this value
depends on your platform. For details, see documentation
provided for your platform. This property is required for WIM-
based provisioning, Linux Kickstart and autoYaST provisioning,
and SCCM-based provisioning.
Image.ISO.Name
Values for this property are case sensitive. Specifies the name
of the ISO image from which to boot, for
example /ISO/Microsoft/WinPE.iso. The format of this value
depends on your platform. For details, see documentation
provided for your platform. This property is required for WIM-
based provisioning, Linux Kickstart and autoYaST provisioning,
and SCCM-based provisioning.
Image.ISO.UserName
Specifies the user name to access the CIFS share in the format
username@domain. For Dell iDRAC integrations where the
image is located on a CIFS share that requires authentication to
access.
Image.ISO.Password
Specifies the password associated with the
Image.ISO.UserName property. For Dell iDRAC integrations
where the image is located on a CIFS share that requires
authentication to access.
SCCM.Collection.Name
Specifies the name of the SCCM collection that contains the
operating system deployment task sequence.
SCCM.Server.Name
Specifies the fully qualified domain name of the SCCM server on
which the collection resides, for example lab-sccm.lab.local.
SCCM.Server.SiteCode
Specifies the site code of the SCCM server.
