OK, so now you know the GUID for the right-click tool… but what about passing parameters?

There are a few standard SUB’s (parameters) that you can use, some are listed in this post: https://snowland.se/2008/05/28/sccm-console-extensions/

But if you take the example of GUID 5fb29b42-5d11-4642-a6c9-24881a7d317e that you can find under Software Distribution Packages / Packages / Some package / Package Status / Site Server / Right click on a distribution point

Say that you want to pass the server-name or the path to the package…

First off, open the E:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminUI\XmlStorage\ConsoleRoot\AdminConsole.xml in some editor.

Then search for the GUID and you will find something like this.

  
    
      
        
          
            SMS_PackageStatusDetailSummarizer
          
          SELECT * FROM SMS_PackageStatusDistPointsSummarizer WHERE PackageID='##SUB:PackageID##' AND SiteCode='##SUB:SiteCode##'
          SMS_PackageStatusDistPointsSummarizer
        
      
    
  

A few lines below the GUID you find SELECT * FROM SMS_PackageStatusDistPointsSummarizer WHERE Packa… Copy that line and replace/clean it up so that it is a valid WMI-query.
Will look something like:

SELECT * FROM SMS_PackageStatusDistPointsSummarizer WHERE PackageID='XYZ00123' AND SiteCode='XYZ'

Next step is to start some WMI-browser and connect to root\SMS\site_XYZ and run the query and take a look at the columns.
(I like to use WMI Explorer)

In the query above you will have columns like ServerNALPath, SourceNALPath, SourceVersion this is what you are looking for.

Use them in your extensions like this:

        myScript.vbs
        ##SUB:ServerNALPath## ##SUB:SourceNALPath## ##SUB:SourceVersion##

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”)

        
                C:\sccmExtenstions.vbs
                ##SUB:__Server## ##SUB:__Namespace## ##SUB:Name## ##SUB:PackageID## ##SUB:ProgramName## ##SUB:SiteCode## ##SUB:SiteName## ##SUB:NetworkOSPath## ##SUB:AddressType## ##SUB:Order## ##SUB:value## ##SUB:ItemName##
        

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”…
