Some small notes and short (but powerful) example about SCCM Console Extensions…

Some good-to-have GUIDs
You find them all in adminconsole.xml

• fa922e1a-6add-477f-b70e-9a164f3b11a2 – First-level collections
• dbb315c3-1d8b-4e6a-a7b1-db8246890f59 – Subcollections
• 7ba8bf44-2344-4035-bdb4-16630291dcf6 – Resource in collection
• de41d5d8-3845-4e67-9657-0121f06f5e27 – Programs
• a1ad0705-ce2d-4981-96f5-8f0faad47396 – Advertisments
• 49696c48-9c3a-4d4a-bb38-473394700d43 – Site Systems

Some of the SUBs
You find them all in adminconsole.xml

• ##SUB:__Server##
• ##SUB:__Namespace##
• ##SUB:Name##
• ##SUB:PackageID##
• ##SUB:ProgramName##
• ##SUB:SiteCode##
• ##SUB:SiteName##
• ##SUB:NetworkOSPath##
• ##SUB:AddressType##
• ##SUB:Order##
• ##SUB:value##
• ##SUB:ItemName##

Example XML-file:
(Put it to “SCCM\AdminUI\XmlStorage\Extensions\Actions\fa922e1a-6add-477f-b70e-9a164f3b11a2\sccmExtensions.xml”)

<ActionDescription Class="Executable" DisplayName="Show Params" MnemonicDisplayName="Show Params" Description = "Show Params">
	<Executable>
		<FilePath>C:\sccmExtenstions.vbs</FilePath>
		<Parameters>##SUB:__Server## ##SUB:__Namespace## ##SUB:Name## ##SUB:PackageID## ##SUB:ProgramName## ##SUB:SiteCode## ##SUB:SiteName## ##SUB:NetworkOSPath## ##SUB:AddressType## ##SUB:Order## ##SUB:value## ##SUB:ItemName##</Parameters>
	</Executable>
</ActionDescription>

And the script to use
(Put this into C:\sccmExtensions.vbs)

sOut = ""
For i = 0 to WScript.Arguments.Count-1
	sOut = sOut & "Arg " & i+1 & " : " & Wscript.Arguments(i) & vbCrLf
Next
MsgBox sOut

Then, try to right-click a first level collection and select “Show Params”…
