Automatic Deployment Rules SCCM 2012 R2

Hello,
i have the following Situation.
I created a ADR for my Key Users. This ADR dowloads the needed updates add them to a a existing Deployment Group and add them to a Deployment Package.
When the ADR is starting, the Deployment package is updated and the Deployment Package is distributing to my DPs.
I have a second ADR, which does the same but a bit later (one week) and for my "Production Clients".
If the second ADR is starting, and MS offers new updates they will be downloaded and pushed on my Production Clients without beeing tested by the key users.
Another effect is that the Deployment Package is redistributed to my DPs and the packe has a size of 15 GB.
Any ideas how i can deal this?

Hello Thorsten,
thanks for replying.
Perhaps you have Suggestion for me:
I have two collections "Test Clients" and "Productiv Clients"
I have two ADRs
"ADR Test Clients":
Target Collection "Test Clients"
SUG: "ADR Test Clients"
Deployment Package: "Monthly Updates"
After 7 days the second ADR should run:
"ADR Productiv Clients":
Target Collection "Productiv Clients"
SUG: "ADR Productiv Clients"
Deployment Package: "Monthly Updates"
If i use the same settings for "Software Updates" in the second ADR, it might be possible, that new updates will be added, without being tested by the "Test Clients"
I think i found a solution:
I will start "ADR Productiv Clients" before the
"ADR Test Clients":
Settings I will do for the ADRs
"ADR Productiv Clients":
Evaluation Shedule: Monthly / every third Tuesday / Starting: 01:00 AM
Deployment Shedule: Software available after 7 days
Installation Deadline: 1 Hour
"ADR Test Clients":
Evaluation Shedule: Monthly / every third Tuesday / Starting: 10:00 AM
Deployment Shedule: Software available after 7 hours
Installation Deadline: 26 Hours
Result:
in any case the Test Clients will have the newer Version as the Productive Clients.

  • SCCM 202 R2 - Automatic Deployment Rules

    Hi all,
    just got a question about the way in which the Automatic Deployment Rules work in SCCM 2012 R2. I've got a number of patching collections configured with different types of machines in (Pilot Group, Desktops, Test Servers, Prod Servers etc...) and was
    hoping to set up a corresponding ADR for each of these collections.
    Having had a quick test of the ADR, it seems to work well. When the Evaluation Schedule deadline hits, I see the updates are downloaded (watching RuleEngine.log) and then a new Software Update Group is created and is deployed to the machines
    in the collection.
    My question is, what's the best way to set up the ADRs to patch these collections? Does each patching collection need it's own ADR? If so, does this mean I will end up downloading the same updates multiple times since most of the ADRs will have the
    same Products/Classifications selected?
    Realise this is probably a fairly simple question but can't quite get my head round it so any help/info would be much appreciated!
    Cheers

    There really are three possible strategies here:
    - Use an ADR for each collection. This will of course cause duplicate update groups but will be fully automated.
    - Use a single ADR for each OS type; e.g., one for workstations and one for servers. Then manually add deployments to the appropriate ADR for each collection. This requires a bit of manual intervention but its not much and offers a QA checkpoint.
    - Use a single ADR targeting a master collection and then use maintenance windows to control deployment times to "sub-collections". This is fully automated as well but does require some manipulation of the maintenance windows on a month to month
    basis.
    I often do a combination of the above depending upon the exact needs of the environment.

  • SCCM Automatic Deployment Rule Schedule

    Dear All,
    I have SCCM 2012 R2 running on Win2008 R2 Sp1. When I create an automatic rule, and later on I decide to change the Deployment Schedule, it wont save the changes.
    I wonder if this is some sort of bug.
    Thank yoiu

    Hi,
    Could you reproduce this situation on the same site?(create a new Automatic deployment rule, then edit it)
    How about on the another site with the same infrastructures?

  • System Center 2012 Error on Automatic Deployment Rule

    Good day,
    I have created and Automatic Deployment Rule to deploy my EndPoint Protection updates. So far, I have been able to deploy the agents, and the Antivirus to all my network computers. The problem I have is when the update rule runs. I have checked the SMSProv.log

  • Lync 2013 x64 silent client deployment via SCCM 2012 SP1

    Greetings everyone!
    I ran into a problem with Lync 2013 x64 silent deployment.
    I need to provide every workstation with Lync 2013 client, so i decided to use deployment via SCCM 2012 sp1.
    I created 2 msp files with OCT, one based on x86 Office 2013 Proplus, and other based on x64 Office 2013 Proplus.
    Added them as applications to sccm software library.
    Deployment of Lync 2013 x86 application was a success with over than 80% compliance. 
    But all Lync 2013 x64 automatic installations finish with different errors.
    I created special device collection for workstations with office 2010 x64 and 2013 x64, because i can't install other architecture products once it has x64 product installed.
    My membership query-rules for this collection:
    Office 2013 x64
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
    = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90150000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
    Office 2010 x64
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE on SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.ResourceId
    = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where UPPER(SMS_G_System_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE.SoftwareCode) = "{90140000-0011-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}"
    My application deployment type points to setup.exe in office 2013 x64 installation folder, where i created msp file in updates folder via OCT and edited config.xml file in proplus.ww folder.
    So my installation program looks like this setup.exe /adminfile updates\1lync.msp /config proplus.ww\config.xml
    The same configuration works with Lync 2013 x86 deployment, except other setup folders.
    When i try running installation program setup.exe with /adminfile and /config parameters locally, it installs successfully without errors or warnings.
    I'm trying to find out problem source, does anyone have ideas what I am doing wrong?
    Also i'm trying to reduce office 2013 installation folder size, what subfolders are necessary for Office 2013 proplus installation (still installing only lync with common files and tools)? Because now 3.5 GB package is quite hard to distribute to sccm secondary
    sites with deployment point.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Trying to comprehend the use of Automatic Deployment Rules

    I am having a hard time trying to conceptualize ADRs. I would appreciate it if someone can let me know if I am on the right track here. 
    The way I see it is I can set up an ADR for every 2nd Tuesday of every month (Patch Tuesday) to run to build my initial deployment to a pilot test group. Then I have to build subsequent deployments after that since ADRs can only build one deployment (the
    one for my pilot test group). 
    My question is, should an ADR be used only for a pilot test deployment and not a production deployment?
    Thank you very much everyone, I appreciate your help

    I thought during the wizard it allows you to specify which type of patches you want to deploy such as Security, etc? 
    You select the update filter and criteria in the ADR wizard:

  • SCEP definition update through Automate Deployment Rule

    Hi all.  Got a question on deploying SCEP 2012 definition updates to client PC through SCCM2012 R2 by using Automate Deployment Rule.  It looks like the client PC is not receiving the definition updates immediately.  The ADR seems working
    fine, it completed the synchronization successfully, no error on "PatchDownloader.log" and "ruleengine.log"; deployment folder got filled up with new definition updates.  However, the client is not receiving the new SCEP definition
    updates immediately, although I've configured ADR to install the update as soon as possible, yet nothing happens for the past 2 hours.  I ended up launch the SCEP console on the client PC and then click the "update" button manually, and this
    launch the update process.  I just wondering how much time we need to wait for the SCEP definition update to apply onto the client PC.  Microsoft seems release 3 - 4 definition update per day, I am afraid we might not using the latest definition
    update due to the time waiting issue.  Thank you.

    I've configured the polling interval to take place every 3 hours.  I guess this contribute to the waiting time.  I will keep an eye on it to see if the definition in deed installs automatically. 
    Yes that's one of the delay which is the major Contribution also there would be some delay for the updates when they are downloading and getting updated to the distribution points. You can check the 'Content Status' for that package to verify if it got updated.

  • Automatic Deployment Rule - Error 5

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing an odd issue with setting up an automatic deployment rules. Everything looks like it's fine, but it's running into a permissions error on the location of the package. I enabled auditing and gave EVERYONE full access to the share and everything
    runs fine and verify that my admin account is the one writing. When I remove EVERYONE and designate the admin account with full share and full security permissions it gives back error 5 for permissions. Any ideas?

    An ADR runs with SYSTEM credentials and not with your admin credentials.

  • Is MDT must have for OS deployment in SCCM 2012

    I know that existing MDT could be integrated to a new SCCM.
    Is MDT must have for OS deployment in SCCM 2012 or SCCM has its own engine for OS deployment?
    --- When you hit a wrong note its the next note that makes it good or bad. --- Miles Davis

    Thanks for the answers.
    one more question...
    I am going to start SCCM deployment in test environment.
    For OS deployment part:
    if MDT is planned for integration with SCCM should I configure OS deployment in SCCM before adding MDT.
    Or in this scenario OS deployment in SCCM could not be touched.
    After all previous answers I understand that OS deployment module is part of SCCM installation and is independent from MDT.

  • CRM2013 Silent deployment through SCCM 2012 R2

    Hello.
    First of all im sorry, if im posting in the wrong Forum - but this seemed as the correct one.
    I want to deploy CRM 2013 Outlook Client, through Software center - but i cant seem to get it working.
    I cant seem to find a way, to disable / accept the License Agreement automatically, so that our Domain Users can enjoy a completely silent CRM deployment.
    I have tried several guides, and i have also tried with SetupClient.exe /A - and the "guide" completes, but theCrmClient_32.msi dosent work.
    I would really appreciate, if some of you guys would help me out :)
    We are using SCCM 2012 R2

    Looks like you need the /Q switch for this
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh699665.aspx
    /Q              
    Quiet mode installation. This parameter requires a configuration file in XML format. The /i parameter contains the name of the XML configuration file. No dialog boxes or error messages will appear on the display screen. To capture error message information,
    include the log file parameter (/L or /LV).

  • Application deployment in SCCM 2012

    We have a central site and 2 primary sites. I recently notice that deployment policy setup in my Americas site also gets applied to my Europe site. I know in SCCM 2012 a lot of things get replicated across sites but just want to confirm that SCCM deployment
    policy also replicates? We usually limit our deployment to workstations within our site but i created a collection with all the workstations globally and was going to create 2 deployments one in each site to target machines within the collection but it looks
    like the deployment that i create  within the Americas site also applied to Europe workstations.
    Is this native behavior? thanks. 

    However, if each site uses unique queries that you target, instead of a common query between each site, then the deployment would not be implemented at the other site as the collection would contain no members. Collections (rules) and deployments do replicate,
    but only affect local clients in the targeted collection.
    And you can use role-based administration so that admins at one site don't see objects created at other sites.

  • Pre deploy applications sccm 2012

    Hey Everyone,
       I have a question regarding deployment of software. Current layout is as follows : 2200 machines ranging from always on desktops to about 400 only laptop users. We use SCCM 2012 to deploy applications etc. I am currently updating java and Imprivata
    Single Sign On. Regardless the process is to remove the old versions of JAVA , install a newer one , once that is complete lay down a newer version of Single Sign-On which requires a reboot. Since one depends on a another we decided that this is the best opportunity
    to update both. Anyway I push the software out to to machine collections as all machines need this regardless of users.
      I cant get the laptops that go home for the day , since I can't deploy during the day the machines are not getting this update. There is a setting within SCCM that allows a deployment to be " predeployed" to the users machine. Is there anyway
    I can utilize that to apply to the machines so that even when a laptop is offline the content is already pre-deployed to the machine so all that needs to happen is  ; a deadline to be set
    and the clients to be configured to automatically install required software after business hours ? I can push a script that would copy the installation files to the machines and kick of a script or a scheduled task to install the updates ,
    or many other ways. But I really wanted to use SCCM and since I noticed that check box for pre deplyment of content to the users machine seems like what I want. But since it targets users primary device and I am deploying to a device collection targeting machines
    not users  it doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas ? Is this possible ? 

    I have looked at Powershell deployment toolkit as it offers users the ability to snooze installs etc. But I don't have the time to adjust my deployment to this format as my deadline is coming up. But going back to your comment about packages having the ability
    to pre download content , wow that is awesome - huge limitation on application types in my opinion. Let me walk you through my mind set to see if I got the logic down please.
    1) I set the Scheduling on a deployment to a set deadline of 11/5/2014.
    2) On the User Experience tab I set the following 2 check boxes : When the installation deadline is reached , allow the following activities to be performed :
         a) Install Software
         b) System restart if required to complete the installation -  ( Do I need to set this if my deployment type : User Experience tab has the setting set of " Configuration manager client will force a mandatory device restart "
    3) With regards to Maintenance Window and Work Hours do I need to worry about anything here ? I know that if the deadline is set to a time where the maintenance window doesn't match it will be applied at the next maintenance window. But do I need to set
    anything else here to have this automatically get apply ?
    4 And last on the client side within the software center - options tab - computer maintenance " automatically install or uninstall required software and restart the computer only outside of the specified business hours " do I need to set this check
    box ? And do I need to specify logon hours to match up with the maintenance windows to have the software try and deploy prior to deadline but still offline ? 
    What I am trying to achieve is to get the software pre downloaded to the machines and then automatically get deployed during off hours but hopefully prior to the deadline. Meaning is there anyway using any of the mentioned steps above to have the system
    try and install the packages everyday between certain hours and once the deadline is reached to just install ?

  • Office 2013 Professional Plus - 32 bit Deployment takes an unacceptable time to deploy in SCCM 2012 - SP1 CU3

    We recently migrated over to SCCM 2012 SP1 - CU3 the first of the year from SCCM 2007 SP2.  We have used SCCM in the past to deploy Office 2010 and had deployed Office 2013 to our IT Dept. before moving over to SCCM 2012.  The deployment went as
    expected.  Now that we are ready to start deploying Office 2013 to our corporate workstations, the deployment time is running 4.5 hours to 5.5 hours from the local site server DP.  I am afraid to find out what time we are looking at for remote DP's. 
    The three factors that are different is that our SCCM site server is virtual, it is running 2012 for the OS, and obviously SCCM 2012-SP1 - CU3.   We are using the same package source files.   Previous to a successful deployment we were
    seeing hash mismatch errors which MS support pointed us to the nic driver on the VM was using E1000E and to change it to a VMX something driver.
    So I guess my question is anyone else out there deploying Office 2013 ProPlus - 32 bit from this type of environment?  Our previous deployment time for office was a little over an hour (not five hours).  Any suggestions where to look to improve
    the deployment time? 
    I am expected to deploy this in one week and have been working on these issues for weeks.

    I see now that you are using a combination of scripts and ConfigMgr package/program.
    The AppEnforce.log file is for use with the new ConfigMgr Application model.
    Is there any reason that you don't use the new model for deploying Office 2013? It's a single step process and perfect for it. If you use the Office Customisation Tool you can customise what you like. The process will then uninstall Office 2010 and install
    Office 2013.
    This is how you do it
