Notify.vbs + SCCM + Remote Database doesn't work

[idata]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the new host based configuration to work with SCCM, but the provided notify.vbs script doesn't seem to work when the site database is not hosted on the configuration manager server. As far as I can see, Notify.vbs blindly adds the sccmSiteServer address as the SQL server:

'Invoke string with arugments for SiteCode,SQLServer Name,

'Resource Name (FQDN of AMT machine), 'ResourceID returned from ImportComputers 'This code uses the translator to work around and SCCM AMT import bug

strInput="

" &_

"

" & "SMS_" & sitecode & "

" &_ "

" & sccmSiteServer & "

" &_ "

" & fqdn & "

" &_ "

" & ResourceID & "

" &_ ""

But changing it to my real database server does not seem to work, because wsman translator tries to connect using named pipes (should try TCP for remote database). I had a look at the wstrans source but didn't find any reference to SQL.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.

Below is how the translator establishes a database connection.

It basically builds a SQL connection string based on the information passed in by the notify.vbs and builds a connection string based on that information. The currently logged on credentials are use (Translator by default runs as the local system account just like SMS exec).

Hope this helps identify how to connect to your database.

using System.Data.SqlClient;

SqlConnectionStringBuilder builder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder();

CimItem inputItem = context.GetItem();

string fqdName = (string)inputItem.GetProperty("Name");

string siteCode = (string)inputItem.GetProperty("Site");

string serverName = (string)inputItem.GetProperty("Server");

string resId = (string)inputItem.GetProperty("ResourceId");

　

builder.UserID="default";

builder.Password"default";

builder.ConnectTimeout = 30;

builder.Add"server", serverName);

builder.Add("database", siteCode);

builder.Add("Trusted_Connection", "yes");

CimContext.TraceInformati("Conneting to " + serverName);

SqlConnect...
