Maintenance Windows and Installation Deadline

I know this has been discussed many times in the past, but I wanted to clarify in my mind what I think happens.
 I have a maintenance window on a collection that is daily between 3:30am and 5:30am.  I create a deployment for software updates with an available time at 2:00am.  I specify the installation deadline in the deployment for 3:00am.
In the Deadline behavior (user experience) I do not have either option checked (Software updates installation and System restart). So, my MW will not be ignored.
With these settings, the needed updates will be downloaded, but not installed until the start of the maintenance window at 3:30am. (in essence, the deadline should be "before" the MW if I want them to install at the next MW).
Thanks!

  • About maintenance windows and client restart settings

    Scenario:
    I have an application which is configured so that ConfigMgr Client will force a restart after the installation. This application is going to be deployed to a collection of computers which are also members of another collection that has maintenance window
    of 3 hours configured. The default client settings for all the computers have been configured so that users are notified about possible restart for 1440 minutes (24h).
    When the deployment is made:
    If there are logged on users (on the desktop or locked screen), will the software just install in the 3 hour maintenance window and notify the user about the reboot for 24h after the installation?
    If there are not logged on users will it install and reboot the computer?
    How this kind of thing should be configured so that the computers will reboot in the maintenance window if they automatically do not with these settings (if or if not there are logged on users on the computers) ?

    So I tested this:
    User logged on during the MW -> Software installation starts at the maintenance window but asks for the reboot from the user so no go here
    User not logged on during the MW -> Software installs and reboots straight away
    Solution I'm thinking:
    Client Settings Collection that includes all the Maintenance Window Collections and I shall deploy different Client settings (where the reboot time is less than the actual MW) to that collection. This could be also handled with "Install only when user is
    not logged on" for the application's deployment type but then again I don't think you can do that kind of setting for software updates or do you?

  • SCCM 2012 R2 - Maintenance Windows + Installation deadline ASAP + Deadline Randomization

    There are a ton of questions out there regarding MWs and deadlines etc, but I haven't found any yet with my specific question:
    If I:
    Use an ADR that sets the software available time and installation
    deadline both to ASAP 
    AND
    put my machines into maintenance windows
    AND
    enabled deadline randomization (disabled by default in SP1 and R2)
    Will the deadline randomization take place during the maintenance window?
    I know the default setting for the randomization is 0-120 minutes so if I match that and make my MW 2 hours, can I expect all the machines in that MW to patch ONLY during the MW but at a random time during those 2 hrs?

    I tried for a couple days and could not get any of my 3 test machines to patch during the maintenance window with deadline randomization enabled.
    Yesterday I disabled it and over the night, 2 of my 3 machines patched during the MW.
    It doesn't appear to like the proposed setup - I would have anticipated them patching during the MW but during a random time between 0-120 min from when the MW started

  • Commit changes at deadline or during a maintenance window (requires restarts)?

    What happens in an application deployment if I uncheck "Commit changes at deadline or during a maintenance window (requires restarts)"?  If I have an application deployed to a collection with a maintenance window with a scheduled to be available
    now with an installation deadline of one week, what would happed?  What about if the application was deployed to a collection that did not have a maintenance window and there were no maintenance windows defined in any other collection the member clients
    were in?

    This is for Embdedded devices, like ThinClients.
    That means write filter commits either at deadline or during a maintenance window.
    Your application still installs as you schedule it, available now and install week from now. If you have maintenance window and selected to not install or reboot outside of maintenance window, then everything happens within maintenance window. If you don't
    check that box for write filter, then your app or setting you have just pushed does not get saved when device is rebooted.
    Same scenario with no maintenance windows. If you don't have maintenance window then your app downloads and installs as you schedule the dates. Write filter would not commit these changes and everything would go away after reboot.

  • CM12 SP1 CU1 - CM12 R2 - Maintenance Windows

    Hi guys, I'm getting slowly ready to upgrade production to R2 and I just want to double check that I understand this right since I missed to observe this during my lab tests.
    I currently have a lot of MWs set in 2012 SP1. All of them are now set with past dates.
    If I was to upgrade today, they will convert to All Deployments maintenance windows, is that correct?
    As a result of that, systems that are pending reboot because of software update installation
    (software updates are allowed to install but not reboot outside of MW as per deployment settings) will not reboot.
    Also, I found this in documentation but it is not clear to me.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712696.aspx#BKMK_MaintenanceWindow
    It talks about software updates installation when general and software update maintenance windows are configured.
    What about reboots?
    If I have general and software updates maintenance windows configured: General for 24 hours and Software Updates for 4 hours on the same date what happens to:
    a) Software Updates deployment with settings to install outside MW but reboot within MW?
    I guess that it will install on the deadline I've scheduled outside of Software Updates MW but will reboot when Software Updates MW starts, is that correct?
    Plan for a Software Updates Maintenance Window
    Starting in System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, you can add a maintenance window dedicated for software updates installation. This lets you configure a general maintenance window and a
    different maintenance window for software updates. When a general maintenance window and software updates maintenance window are both configured, clients install software updates only during the software updates maintenance window. For more information about
    maintenance windows, see How to Use Maintenance Windows in Configuration Manager.

    Your current maintenance windows will convert to all deployment maintenance windows.  You must configure your software update ones separately.  Your systems will not reboot until the maintenance window opens up, that is if you did not configure
    reboots outside of maintenance windows.
    Your software updates will install at any time because you allowed it outside of maintenance windows.  Your software updates that are pending reboots will stay pending until the maintenance window opens and allows the reboot. 
    It looks like you are spot on. 
    Best, Jacob I'm a PC.

  • Maintenance Windows - When a client belongs to more than one collection

    Hi,
    I am a little confused with maintenance windows as I have never had to use them before. I have client that belongs to Collection A with no maintenance window, and Collection B with a maintenance window.   I typically push out apps during
    the day (after they have been tested) so I never use maintenance windows.  I am deploying an application to Collection A (no MW), but it shows in the status that it is waiting for a maintenance window. I assumes it's in this state due to me creating Collection
    B with a maintenance window because I need to push something out this weekend and can only perform this from 10pm to 2am.  If you are deploying an app to a collection, shouldn't look at the maintenance window for THAT collection, instead of
    looking at all the NW for collections a client is added to?  Is there anyway around this?
    Thanks!

    Maintenance Windows are applied to and enforced by the client agent itself. The client enforces the MWs on any and all activity it performs regardless of collection targeting. In fact, clients don't know anything about collections at all.

  • Maintenance Windows - Scheduled Reboot Sleep/Hibernate

    Given an appropriately scheduled maintenance window and a properly configured set of client settings (computer restart), what is the expected behavior for a client computer that enters standby/hibernate during the countdown and doesn't resume until after
    it has ended?
    I have been running a few tests in my environment and I'm finding that clients resuming from standby/hibernate are being forced to reboot immediately. Sometimes before I am able to hit ctrl+alt+delete and login.
    Is this expected?

    Is this expected?
    I think this is expected. More details from Rebootcoordinator.log would be helpful.

  • Maintenance Windows Set to Use UTC Time Actually Using Local Time on Client

    Hey All - 
    When patching servers last month, we ran into an issue on a couple of collections.  This month, it's occurring on all of them so far.
    The Issue
    We have about 40 collections for various server groups.  Each has a single maintenance window set for roughly a 4 hour window using UTC time.  
    When advertising a task sequence (or something else) to run only inside of the window, it fails.  Examining the execmgr.log shows the error: "CExecutionRequest::The program may never run because of Service Window restrictions."
    If I open SCCM Client Center, connect to one of the systems, and view Service Windows, I see that they are set, but were set using the hours I set but as if I did not choose UTC when I did.  We are in CST which is a 5-06 hour difference therefore it
    fails to deploy.
    Only Fix So Far
    The only fix found so far is to delete the maintenance window and re-create it using the exact same settings.  After this is done and policy refreshes, Client Center shows the windows correctly.
    The problem with the above fix is that at some point, they seemingly are being corrupted again as some which were fixed last month seem to must be re-created again this month.
    Screenshots / Logs
    Maintenance Window
    8:00PM in our timezone should make it start at 2:00PM CST

    Any ideas or suggestions?  Thanks!

  • Software Updates, Tray Pop-ups and Maintenance Windows

    I will try to keep it to the point.
    End Users in Europe power down their machines every night. Patch Tuesday rolls around, we set the deadline to patch for one week
    later (the following Tuesday) @ 10pm. 
    So they come in that following Wednesday morning, power on their system and bam, software updates are installed and reboots are forced right
    there in their earlier AM which is upsetting them.
    Our settings? Deployment is required, detail level is “only success and error messages”, “Display in Software Center and show all notifications”, and when the installation
    deadline is reached allow the following activities to be performed outside the maintenance window: “Software Update Installation” and “System Restart”.
    So before I get a whole bunch of, “disable reboots” or “notify your users” or “use WOL”. I want to discuss this on another angle.
    We are getting reports that users are not seeing the notifications. As you can see it is set to all notifications. Likely they are happening and they are not seeing
    them.
    Main Question: Is there a way via a registry tweak or client setting that will do one of the following:
    Make the tray popups more frequent
    Make the tray popups last longer
    Bring the main “hey things to patch screen” come up without clicking the tray popup
    Anything we can do to make the notification BEFORE the deadline more in their faces would be ideal. Anyone?

    This happened because patch updates reached deadline and installed forcefully and restart the machines. from
    the software center and system tray. Just configure that in the deployment
    Unless the site wide hide deployments option is selected,
    you will get icons in the system tray. When that is selected, you do NOT get icons at all. If this is enabled, but you suppress the deployment itself, then you get the icons but not balloons.

  • Application Scheduling and Maintenance Windows

    Hi There.  I have a scenario that I want to get some clarification.  I think I know how it will work but wonder if I'm understanding it correctly.
    I have clients across a WAN that I want to deploy an application to but the bandwidth is limited and I can't put local DPs there.  I want to prestage the content and then enforce its installation after the server side of the app has been upgraded
    on Saturday.
    The collection that the clients are a member has a maintenance window defined daily from 2am to 5am.  I was going to deploy the app and make it available for tonight at 8pm thinking that the client would see the deployment and begin to download
    it.  The application deadline is set for 2 days from now on Saturday at 8pm.  Am I correct in thinking that the client will install the application tonight at 2am during it's first available maintenance windows??
    If so, my plan is to temporarily replace the daily 2am to 5am maintenance window with a maintenance window that starts at the deployment deadline on Saturday at 8pm.  It seems to me that then the client would see the application, download it and wait
    to install until 8pm on Saturday when it would be enforced.  I also plan to hide the deployment so that it does not show up in software center.
    Is my thinking correct?

    If your objective is to prestage the content on the client cache, the only way I know that it works, is when the "available" schedule is reached, SCCM will evaluate the deployment and if applicable (meets requirement, detection rules, etc), it will automatically
    download the content to the cache folder...
    So, if you make it "available" today at 8pm and "required/deadline" for this Saturday 8pm, the clients will download the content after 8pm today (regardless of maintenance windows). The issue, as stated previously, is that if a user decides to go in the
    software center app, they can manually trigger the install as soon as the deployment "available" date is reached (~today 8pm). You can configure the notifications...
    The actual automatic install (triggered by the client agent software) will only happen on/after Saturday at 8pm; assuming that the maintenance window permits it. Be VERY careful with maintenance windows. If you have it set for 2am-5am daily, the deployment
    will install on Sunday 2am-5am, as the window is closed on Saturday at 8pm (deadline)... Also the PC has to be powered on for the install to happen.
    As with many things in SCCM, there is always other settings that can affect the result. E.g., you can set the deployment to install/reboot outside maintenance windows...
    You may want to test this to confirm...

  • Deadline VS Maintenance Window

    I have configured the device collection for maintenance at 12am-6am everyday.I recently deployed windows update as required and deadline at 5pm. My understanding is that after 5pm, the update will wait till the next maintenance windows before it's installed.
    However, the updates keeps installing at 5pm or whatever deadline i configure.
    Am i having a wrong assumption or is my SCCM not configured correctly?

    That is proper assumption only if under User Experience tab on software deployment you have
    not selected any check boxes under Deadline behavior.

  • Deadline, Business Hours vs. Maintenance Windows

    I read the blog about Business Hours vs. Maintenance Windows, but I still have two questions
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2012/03/28/business-hours-vs-maintenance-windows-with-system-center-2012-configuration-manager.aspx
    Event 1: Application A
    No Maintenance Windows &  No Wake on LAN;
    Business hours is 5am to 10pm;
    User start laptop at 8AM and close at 5PM every day;
    Deadline is 11PM, Thursday;
    Available is 9Am, Monday, User clicks "Install Later".
    So when A will be installed?
    Event 2: Application B
    Maintenance Windows is 1AM to 4AM , NO Wake on LAN, B has not been configured that install when out of Maintenance Windows;
    Business hours is 5am to 10pm;
    User start laptop at 8AM and close at 5PM every day;
    Deadline is 11PM, Thursday;
    Available is 9Am, Monday, User clicks "Install Later".
    User never start laptop in Maintenance Windows time, so if it mean that B will never be installed?

    To add a couple of clarifying points to the article linked:
    - Business hours are meaningless after a deployment's deadline and are only used before the deadline.
    - Business hours are only relevant if a user has explicitly stated for a deployment to be enforced outside of their business hours.
    - The intent of business hours is to allow users to schedule enforcement of a required deployment before a deadline but outside of their work hours so it never interrupts them.
    The article does say all of this, just not as directly.
    For Event 2 (application b), this is why using maintenance windows usually doesn't work well for workstations. Why would the business hours be set for 5AM to 10PM though? That really makes no sense based on my third point above. Of course in this case, if
    the system is totally off, it doesn't really matter anyway.

  • Lenovo U310: Clean Windows 7 Installation Guide (including Rapid Start and Caching)

    Hi there,
    this is the first time that I am writing such a guide/tutorial/whatever you may call it – there are probably better ones, but though not being a total computer noob, it took me almost one week to get this pretty (now again) little beast running again. So hopefully this helps some others to avoid such stupid downtimes.
    A brief overview on what has happened to my original win 7 Home Premium:
    As some may know, this laptop is very well usable as a “Hackintosh” called Macbook clone. So that’s what I did. It turned out to be nice, but I wanted to go back to Windows after a while, using a clean W7 Pro installation to start over. Actually an easy task, format all drives, install Windows, be happy. Just as I had been doing this for years. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a real challenge. First, I couldn’t “see” my drives during installation (and thus not install), then I got random errors during installation aborting it at different points and finally rapid start and caching didn’t work. Every time I tried to activate them (after Win installation), it crashed my PC. I even found an (official Lenovo!) guide stating to install W7 on the SSD, which worked, but sucks due to space limitations. Oh and another very nice thing: The SSD showed up during WIN installation (but not the classical hard drive) stating it was about 60 GB. So as you can see, I have had a lot of different tries and errors. Why I didn’t use Lenovo Easy Recover? As said before, I erased all partitions…
    Before we start: If you have a good Windows running on the Laptop, do yourself a favor and disconnect the RAID 0 disks using the Intel Rapid Storage Application before(!!!) proceeding. It will make things much easier. And don’t forget to get all you data on an external drive or something.
    Ok, now let’s start.
    1.)    Prepare a USB Stick with the following driver
             http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=21730 (choose f6flpy-x64.zip If you’re running a   
             64-bit system (standard nowadays), take f6flpy-x86.zip if it is a 32-bit Windows, just download and copy them
             into the stick’s root directory) and plug this stick in one of the left side USB ports.
    2.)    You’ll need Win 7 on either a DVD (plus external drive, for sure) or (bootable) USB stick
    3.)    Connect your drive/stick (with W7) to the right side USB port.
    4.)    Switch the computer on, immediately hit FN and F2. That will open the BIOS.
    5.)    In the BIOS, navigate to the very right section (“save and exit”) and navigate the cursor to “load setup defaults”.
             Hit enter to approve.
    6.)    After that, go to the “boot” tab and disable UEFI-boot.
    7.)    Next, go one more tab to the left and set the controller setting to RAID (NOT AHCI or Compatible!!!).
    8.)    Navigate the cursor down to “Intel Rapid Start” and hit enter. A submenu will pop up-
    9.)    Disable the first entry in that window, that will make the rest be disabled as well.
    10.) Navigate to the very right tab, this time hit save and exit.
    11.) The PC restarts.
    12.) Immediately hit FN and F12 to open the boot selection menu. Select to boot from your W7 DVD drive or USB
            stick.
    13.) Click yourself through the whole process of installing Windows 7 until the page comes up where you will have
            to select where to install it.
    14.) Click on “load drivers” and after a few seconds your downloaded driver should be there. Click ok to use them.
            Please do this step even if you can see your drives (SSD Disk 0, 32 GB and HDD Disk 1, 465(<-?) GB) as you
            would expect them – otherwise you’re very likely to get an error during the install process.
    15.) Now erase all partitions on both drives and select the HDD as the drive to install W7 to – NOT THE SSD!!!!!
            Seriously, don’t choose the SSD.
    16.) Windows will probably say that some extra partitions are necessary and so on, click ok and install Windows.
    17.) After the installation has finished and you see your Desktop, I suggest you to proceed with the next steps in the
            following order to see as early as possible if you are on the right way.
    18.) Install the Chipset driver, restart.
    19.) Install the Intel Rapid Storage “driver” and check the box where it asks to additionally install the control center.
            Reboot.
    20.) Go into BIOS (FN and F2) and enable Intel Rapid Start (the one you disabled in Step 8 and 9)
    21.) Boot into Windows.
    22.) Click on the Windows button, type cmd and right klick on the cmd.exe, select to run it as Admin.
    23.) Now you’ll create a hibernation partition on the SSD. (which by now should be completely empty as we’ve
            deleted all partitions in step 15)
    24.) In the command prompt that we have just opened, type: (without quotas, for sure)
    “diskpart” and hit the enter button
    “list disk” and hit the enter button
    Now you should see your ssd as disk 0 and your hdd as disk 1
    If your ssd is disk 0 (that would be standard), write “select disk 0”, otherwise write: “select disk 1”, and hit the enter button.
    Now write “create partition primary size=4096” and hit enter again. [if you have 4GB of ram, type 4096, if you have 8 GB of ram, use 8192]
    Now write “detail disk” and hit enter to see the volume number behind the volume that we have just created (it is 4 GB or 8 respectively, should be easy to find), in my case that was “2”
    Now type “select volume 2” if your 4 or 8 GB volume has number 2 as well, otherwise use the number you found out in step f. Hit enter.
    Finally, type: “set id=84 override” and hit enter for one last time.
    It should now say back that the id has been set successfully.
    Exit the command prompt. (close)
    25.) Reboot
    26.) Install the Rapid Start driver. Reboot.
    27.) Open the Intel Rapid Storage Application.
    28.) Click on accelerate and approve the settings. Two RAID’s will be created. Reboot.
    29.) Install the remaining drivers, have fun with Windows Update and that’s it!
    Good luck to all of you… And hey Lenovo - wouldn't that have been your job after all these posts showing your costumers in trouble? Just my two cents...
    If you want, you can now turn on UEFI-boot in BIOS.
    PS: If, after installing all drivers, you happen to see one unknown device in your device manager – this one belongs to Lenovo Connect Software that came with your Laptop. (Updates FB, Email etc when PC is in sleep mode) If you install Lenovo Connect it’s going to be fine, however, I would not recommend it as it is said to use a lot of energy and cause some other problems. So just live with it, your PC is totally fine without it.

    Seriously guys, I can't use my 3 days old laptop. Some help would be mostly appreciated. At this point, the network connection issue doesn't show up anymore, it's just a blank screen after reboot. I reinstall windows and do it all over again just to achieve the same result.
    Now couple of things caught my attention: as I load the "6flpy-x64.zip" driver from step 14, I get a message saying I need to install signed drivers, because unsigned ones are likely to mess up the system.
    Secondly, I could not find any Rapid Storage Technology drivers for Windows 7 (particularly for U310 model), so I use the Windows 8 ones (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS031455), which seems a silly thing, yet I know of no alternatives.
    Could it be any of these issues to cause my problem? Or smth else? Please help!

  • Installing old software from previous Windows 8 installation? And installing new software.

    Hello.
    Two questions.
    Can I re-install software from my previous Windows 8 installation onto Windows 10 Preview? All the files needed are in Windows.old. I have some software that was registered to me, and getting another copy will be kinda hard.
    Also, when the final edition (i.e: not a technical preview) comes out, will any new software that I have installed onto the Technical Preview still be there?
    Thanks.

    It depends on how you installing Windows 10, if you do custom install or clean install which means either format partition of your current Windows or install Windows and removing previous version of Windows which would create Windows.old, you have to reinstall
    your applications and restore your data and you need product keys and installation files. However , if you do upgrade which is possible from Windows 8 to Windows 10, then you will have your programs and files in place and you don't need to reinstall them.
    But note like previous upgrades (e.g. Windows 7 to Windows 8), you might have some compatibility problems and you might need to uninstall some programs and install newer version which you will know during upgrade process.
    When final version of Windows been released, you might need to update or install latest version of some software or programs which are compatible with Windows 10 and latest software products should work on Windows 10.
