Use SCCM CMTrace like a Pro (Part 2)

What are you doing when you want to troubleshoot SCCM client locally on a computer? Connect your USB card with the cmtrace.exe on it? Copy the executable file from a network directory? Do you want to be smarter? Create an application with a file detection method that will copy the executable file automatically on any SCCM clients.

Download the file from Configuration Manager Toolkit.

Step 1: Create a script to copy the executable file into the Windows directory

Use this command ‘Xcopy /y cmtrace.exe %windir%’ in a cmd file. Enter the cmd file into the application program.

Step 2: Add a detection method in the application properties

Click on ‘Detection Method’ tab and ‘Add Clause’ to your application.

The idea is to detect if the file is already copied. %Windir% will go automatically in the windows folder depending on the operating version.

Step 3: Deploy the application to all desktop and server clients

Technical supports, administrators and users will benefit from it. You make sure that all clients from anywhere will be able to use CMTrace and see SCCM logs without effort and Notepad.
