Congratulations to our first category winner, for the SCCM Configuration Pack category, is Jason Scheffelmaer, who submitted an SCCM Roles Wizard. While not technically a Configuration Pack, his solutions goes far beyond being a simple script, and as such, Jason was declared the winner for this category.

Announcements for additional categories coming shortly, so stay tuned!
Solution Description
The SCCM Roles Wizard is a Bare Metal solution to the SCCM Image
Deployment Process. It is used in conjunction with SCCM and Microsoft
Deployment Toolkit (MDT) to deliver a front-end solution to
non-managed Bare Metal systems. By querying the MDT database for
Roles and delivering them to the front-end wizard the technician
deploying the image has the ability to choose predefined Roles
directly from the database that can change or apply how the build is
applied. This includes things such as which domain or OU structure to
join, what post applications to install, or even homepage or Product
keys to use.
Why did you create the SCCM Roles Wizard?
The reason I created this was that even though MDT supported a roles
based build delivery it had no way of you choosing which role you
wanted to apply during the deployment. Any roles and settings that
you wanted to apply to the build had to be done up front before the
Bare Metal system actually was deployed. This was not feasible in our
and many other companies processes to be able to choose and apply
these roles and settings on a per machine basis up front. Therefore I
created this front-end to do just that, it also has a wizard for
naming the computer, and can be expanded on to really any other
wizards one could think of adding but the real drive was to deliver
the roles defined in the MDT database directly to the user during
their SCCM/MDT Bare-Metal Deployment and apply them on the fly.
