Backup site server failure
I have been trying to get the Backup Site Server task to work in the Site Maintenance and consistanly get a failure. SQL writer not found. I have made sure the NT AUTHORITY had SA and that the sql writer was on. I have also tried using
the network path which would create the backup on the Site server with a failure. Although the errors are a little different. I have pasted my log file segment below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Richard I have already tried that and still failed, I did however get slightly further then before. We will be looking at using a direct database backup but this functionality is there and should work.

Our Sccm site server needs to be restored from backup, and the site server is a virtual machine. This server holds all site system roles, and connects to a remote sql server that houses the site database. I will like to restore the site server virtual
machine from our vm backup solution. Is this a viable solution for restoring a sccm site server?
Sovereign2Therefore, If I restore a site server from a backup created seven days ago to its original location, are you saying this will not work or it is not a supported recovery option? I don't have a native backup of my site database nor a backup of my site server
via Backup Site Server maintenance task. All virtual machines are backed up via our vm backup solution. What options do I have to recover my site server while the Sql server hosting my site database is completely functional, and none of the requirements for
restoring a site server are available? -

Primary site server a single point of failure?
I'm installing ConfigMgr 2012 R2, and employing a redundant design as much as possible. I have 2 servers, call them CM01,CM02, in a single primary site, and on each server I have installed the following roles: Management Point, Distribution Point, Software
Update Point, as well as the installing the SMS Provider on both servers. SQL is on a 3rd box.
I am now testing failover from a client perspective by powering down CM01 and querying the current management point on the client: (get-wmiobject -namespace root\ccm -class ccm_authority).CurrentManagementPoint . The management point assigned to
the client flips to the the 2nd server, CM02, as expected. However, when I try to open the CM management console, I cannot connect to the Site, and reading SMSAdminUI log reveals this error: "Provider machine not found".
Is the Primary site server a single point of failure?
Why can't I point the console to a secondary SMS provider?
If this just isn't possible, what is the course of action to restore console access once the Primary Site server is down?
Many ThanksYes, that is a completely false statement. Using a CAS and multiple primaries in fact will introduce multiple single points of failure. The only technical Eason for a CAD a multiple primary sites is for scale out; i.e., supporting 100,000+ managed systems.
HA is achieved from a client perspective by adding multiple site systems hosting the client facing roles: MP, DP, SUP, App Catalog.
Beyond that, all other roles are non-critical to client operations and thus have no built-in HA mechanism. This includes the site server itself also.
The real question is what service that ConfigMgr provides do you need HA for?

Backup / File Serving Plan - Your comments?
A local business would like to have a daily off-site backup, with incremental backups, and do file sharing from a single server across several users. Web based backup is probably not realistic as some files are 250 megs a pop. We have ordered an XSserve with three 750gig drives which we will use as a file server. My plan is to use Drive 1 for system files, with Drive 2 and 3 setup in Raid 1 for data files that will be mirrored. This will allow the owner to simply pull a drive out, put it in a case, and take it home with him each evening, while providing redundancy and up-time if a drive goes down.
It doesn't, however, ensure that if somebody deletes 200 pages from a document and mistakenly saves it, there will be any archived copy, so we will continue to use our current Retrospect backup plan, with some changes to frequency.
My current thinking with regard to the System files is to connect an external Hard Drive after the intitial setup has been finalized with the users added and use SuperDuper to clone the System hard drive and then disconnect it (after a verfifying boot from it). Backing up of that drive would be done manually when needed after adding users or doing updates that are verified to be "good" while not automatically backing up corrupted prefs or other problems that can tend to creep into a system.
Any thoughts or comments ?My plan is to use Drive 1 for system files, with Drive 2
and 3 setup in Raid 1 for data files that will be mirrored.
This will allow the owner to simply pull a drive out, put it
in a case, and take it home with him each evening, while
providing redundancy and up-time if a drive goes down.
I'll be the contrarian on this one. Yes, it will work. Just fine (but see below). That's standard practice for many servers if you need them to be kept up 24/7, and a RAID 1 mirror split is the ONLY way to do an instantaneous clone of a drive. Other solutions (SuperDuper!, CCC, etc.) scan the disk, build a list, and copy files, such that any files that change/disappear/appear during or after the scan and before the copy will be missed. We do exactly that (well, not quite) with our Xserve G5 before doing any software update.
However, the approach we use is to add a spare drive to the mirror, allow the mirror to rebuild, then split the spare drive from the mirror. We use SoftRAID, and it has worked flawlessly for this (again, see below), and there is even a write-up on the SoftRAID web site (http://www.softraid.com) about this approach.
Realize, though, that such a mirror split has two issues. First, it is not a backup and it should not be confused with such. No archiving is done for old files, and it's not possible to go back weeks/months to get an inadvertently deleted file. A proper backup strategy (we use Retrospect to tape in an autoloader) is necessary for that.
Second, even though the mirror split is instantaneous, it still might not give a proper bootable image. Some programs, such as database programs (e.g., cyrus for email) maintain sets of files on disk that need to be consistent, and there needs to be (and is not) coordination between the instant of mirror split and all running services. For this reason, we shut down essential services (this can be scripted) such as email service, prior to the instant of mirror split, do the mirror split, then restart the services. Doing that avoids, for example, cyrus database corruption.
As mentioned above, we only do this for our OS volume, which is RAID 1 (SoftRAID) with mirror secondary being a RAID 5 LUN on an Apple Hardware RAID card and with mirror primary being a Seagate Cheetah attached to an ATTO UL4D. We add another mirror secondary (a Firewire drive) to the RAID 1 mirror, allow the mirror to rebuild, shut services by scripting, split the Firewire drive from the SoftRAID mirror, restart the services. Takes only an instant, gives a good bootable OS copy. Note that we only use this approach prior to any software change on the Xserve, allows us to roll back if the software change/update goes badly, as happened once. But that's all we use it for. We count on the RAID 5 LUN for our user data, plus our daily tape backups, to handle failures and accidental deletions, and we count on the RAID 1 mirror of the OS volume to handle failure of the Apple Hardware RAID card (which MUST have the write cache turned off - there is a bug in the card - fails to fully flush write cache on graceful power down - doubt Apple will ever fix this bug) and also to improve performance of the OS volume.
SoftRAID 3.5 is not scriptable, so this has to be done manually. I understand that scriptability is in the works, which would allow us to automate the process. SoftRAID 3.5.1 also has some issues with intel processors, the SoftRAID 3.6 beta just released resolves those issues (general release of SoftRAID 3.6 is expected shortly before MacWorld).
One thing for you to think about is all the handling/removal/insertion of the drive, and transporting the drive home each night. That will reduce the life of the drive and of the ADM connector into which the drive plugs.
I note upon re-reading your post that you use Retrospect, as do we. Be sure, before doing the mirror split (if you use this technique for your OS volume) that you disable Retrospect's schedule prior to the mirror split and then re-enable the schedule after the split. Otherwise, if you later try to boot from the earlier mirror split drive, all scripts with intervening scheduled times will be runnable and, just at the instant you are in a moment of crisis, trying to boot your precious backup copy, Retrospect will be firing off backups, etc. Been there, done that.
Good luck.

Site Server - Client comminucations with selective authentication
My environment has multiple domains, but I've been trying to avoid standing up an MP in each. Currently the only MP is the site server in domain1. A two-way selective authentication trust exists between the domains, users and computers from domain2
have 'allowed to authenticate' permissions on the site server and, for the most part, everything is peachy. However, this has been showing up in the CcmMessaging.log:

I'm not exactly sure what these errors are telling me. First, "Determining provisioning mode state failed"? I'm actually seeing that on clients in the same domain as the site server, as well. What is the client attempting to do here, and
in what security context, that it would be getting an access denied error?
Second, the other 5 lines? I'm assuming that's coming from IIS? What permissions need to exist that would not be implicit for the second domain?Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

Redundent mail server setup (backup mail server)
i have been reading all the post of setting up a mackup postfix server. i have looked at the configuration files and have a second machine ready to be implemented but have some questions on how exactly the backup works. my current setup is:
- xserve1 with 10.4.3 OD master running mail, web, dns, ichat, ftp, host name is mail.mydomain.com
- xserve2 with 10.4.3 (i will make this replica) running web and backup dns
- G4 466MHz with 10.4.3 Server running mail and web, host name is mail2.mydomain.com (this is to bemy postfix backup server)
all 3 are behind a firewall with NAT. they have local LAN IPs with NAT to 3 separate WAN IPs and open ports for the needed services.
my first question is: do i need to run dns as well on mail2.mydomain.com?
while i understand that mail stays in the queue on the postfix backup, does that mean that while mail.mydomain.com (primary mail server) is down users will not be getting any mail? can the users actually login to the mail2.mydomain.com and if yes how do they authorize?
should i keep mail2.mydomain.com as a standalone or make it part of the directory?
any info is appreciated.
thanks
martin
xserve G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)don't mail servers hold mail for days anyway and keep
retrying and when our mail comes back up will get all
the mail?
Yes, they typically do (unless some braindead administrator has configured his server to try only for a few hours or so).
i assume there is no difference if my
backup mail server runs on 10.3.9 then?
None whatsoever.
- is there a practical way to set up a mail that
clinets can login to and check mail while the primary
server is down?
Practical? No.
can the backup server forward as well
while it holds to the queue?
Why would you want that? Where should it forward to if the primary is down? As soon as the primary is up, the secondary will forward to i.
the last time i had some
coruption and problems with reconstruct (which you
helped me with), we were down for 24 hours. i am
trying to avoid this. i have an image and i run
mailbfr to backup i assume i can use that in case of
harware failure or massive os corruption that may
take hours to fix.
If push comes to shove this may help. Although images are never too brilliant for mail services recovery.
my problem is that if this happens
during the week, during daytime we cannot really
afford to be down at that time.
This is really your call. Only you can decide how much money you want/need to throw at resilience. But if you decide you cannot afford more than an hour of downtime, you will need far more than an onsite secondary mx

Is there a way to change an existing SCCM 2012 site server intranet FQDN name to lowercase?
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the intranet (not internet) FQDN name of an existing SCCM 2012 site server to all lowercase letters? You used to be able to do this in SCCM 2007.
I had a problem with WSUS updates not working via SCCM 2012 R2 during an operating system deployment. When examining the c:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log I found the following errors:
WARNING: SendRequest failed with hr = 80072ee2. Proxy List used: <****:8080;****:8080> Bypass List used : <(null)> Auth Schemes used : <>
+ Last proxy send request failed with hr = 0x80072EE2, HTTP status code = 0
WARNING: GetConfig failure, error = 0x80072EE2, soap client error = 5, soap error code = 0, HTTP status code = 200
After a LONG time researching this error I found it was related to the fact we were using a WPAD proxy implementation and apparently this doesnt cope well with uppercase characters for the WSUS server URL. I changed our GPO to be using lowercase lettering
but when examining the WindowsUpdate log again it still showed as being in uppercase. In the end I found that despite what your GPO setting says, this can get over written by the SCCM site server's own published WSUS location. You can check this by entering
the following command:
wmic /namespace:"\\root\CCM\SoftwareUpdates\WUAHandler" PATH CCM_UpdateSource
Unfortunatelty in SCCM 2012 there is no GUI way to amend the intranet FQDN used for the WSUS location so I then turned to directly editing the database (which anyone will tell you is not recommended, but by this point i was DESPERATE!).
In the end it solved all my troubles so if anyone finds themselves in this situation, you can fix it by going to the SCCM database and within the table 'WSUSServerLocations', change the WSUSServerName to be in lowercase letters. -
SCCM Console Won't Connect to Site Server WMI Connection Issues
Ok, I've been scratching my head with this one for a while. We're running SCCM 2007 R3 in native mode, site server is Win 2008 Std R2, Config Mgr database sits on a seperate SQL box. When I launch the console (user account I use when logged into server
which is a member of SMS Admins group) on my Win 7 machine I receive the error..
The ConfigMgr console could not connect to the Config Mgr site database. Verify that this computer has network connectivity to the SMS Provider computer and that your user account has Remote Activation permissions on both the Config Mgr site server and SMS
Provider computers
I've read numerous articles around DCOM permissions, I can confirm have all been set on the site server and SMS Admins group has the Remote Activation permission checked. Also I can open WMI, select properties to view the WMI namespace structure, permissions
on the SMS folder and subfolders are set as per microsoft articles.
So then I launched wbemtest from my Win 7 machine, when I try and connect to
\\[SiteServer]\root\sms\Site_SiteCode. I receive WMI error below. I can however connect successfully to WMI on any other server
Number: 0x80070005
Facility: Win32
Description: Access is denied
When logged into SCCM Site server and open wbemtest I can't remotely connect using WMI to any server in our domain, each time receiving the error below.

Number: 0x800706ba
Facility: Win32
Description: The RPC server is unavailable
Whilst logged onto the site server I can use wbemtest to connect to itself using the SMS Provider namespace(\\[SiteServer]\root\sms\Site_SiteCode) which would suggest the WMI isn't corrupt.
It appears that I can't connect remotely to or from this machine using WMI, that something is blocking or not allowing the connection maybe? Please note the Windows Firewall is disabled, we don't use any third party firewall software on our servers and
WMI service is started.
Any ideas or suggestions on this one would be most welcome.
CheersHi Eswar, thanks for the reply. This is the extract from the adminUI.log when I try and launch the console

Hi,
Can we assign 2 IPs for a SCCM 2012 primary site server and use 1 Ip for communicating with its 2 DPs and 2nd one for communicating with its upper hierarchy CAS . ?
Scenario: We are building 1 SCCM 2012 primary site and 2 DPs in one domain . In future this will attach to a CAS server which is in different domain. Can we assign 2 IPs in Primary site server , one IP will use to communicate with its 2 DPs and second
IP for communicating with the CAS server which is in a different domain.?
Details:
1)Server : Windows 2012 R2 Std , VM environment .2) SCCM : SCCM 2012 R2 .3)SQL: SQL 2012 Std
Thanks
Rajesh VasudevanFirst, it's not possible. You cannot attach a primary site to an existing CAS.
Primary sites in 2012 are *not* the same as primary sites in 2007 and a CAS is 2012 is completely different from a central primary site in 2007.
CASes cannot manage clients. Also, primary sites are *not* used for delegation in 2012. As Torsten points out, multiple primary sites are used for scale-out (in terms of client count) only. Placing primary sites for different organizational units provides
no functional differences but does add complexity, latency, and additional failure points.
Thus, as the others have pointed out, your premise for doing this is completely incorrect. What are your actual business goals?
As for the IP Addressing, that depends upon your networking infrastructure. There is no way to configure ConfigMgr to use different interfaces for different types of traffic. You could potentially manipulate the routing tables in Windows but that's asking
for trouble IMO.

Using a custom certificate store for SCCM 2012 clients and primary site server
I have read what seems to be all the pki related documentation out there for SCCM 2012. I have a PKI infrastructure up and running issueing certificates with an offline root through group policy autoenrollment. The problem that i'm faced with is we are migrating
from SCCM 2007 that was in native mode and we chose not to use the CA that we used for the old SCCM environment. When the clients attempt to communicate with the M.P. it runs through all of the different certificates and adds a tremendous amount of overhead
to the M.P. We will have ten's of thousands of clients by migration end. Could someone please point me to a document that goes over how to leverage a custom certificate store that I could then tell the new 2012 environment to use? I know that it's in there,
I've seen it in the console. The setup is one primary site server with SQL on box and the pki I just mentioned as well as the old 2007 environment that is still live.
I read that you can try and use SAN as a method of identifying the new certs but I haven't found a good document covering exactly how that works. Any info you could provide I would be very grateful for. Thanks.Jason, thank you for your reply. I'm getting the impression that you have never been in the situation where you had to deal with 2 different PKI environments. Let me state that I understand what your saying about trust. We have to configure the trusted root
CA via GPO. That simply isn't enough, and I have a valid example to backup this claim. When the new clients got the advertisement and began the ccmsetup process I used the /pki switch among others. What the client end up doing was selecting a certificate that
had the longest validity period which was issued by our old CA. It checked the authentication chain, found it to be valid and selected it for communication. At that point the installation failed, period, no caveats as you say. The reason the install failed
because the new PKI infrastructure is integrated into the new environment, and the old is not. So when you said " that
are trusted and they can use *any* cert that is trusted because at the end of the day, there is no
difference between two valid certs that have the same purpose as long as they are trusted. "
that is not correct. Both certs are trusted, and use the same certificate template, but only one certificate would allow the install to complete successfully.
Once I started using the CCMCERTISSUERS
switch the client install went swimmingly. The only reason I'm still debating this point is because someone might read this thread see your comments and assume "well I've got my new PKI configured as a trusted root CA, I should be all set" and their
deployment will fail, just as my pilot did.
About Intune I'm looking forward to doing a POC in the lab i built with my Note 3. I'm hoping it goes well as I really want to have our MDM migrated into ConfigMgr... I think the
biggest obstacle outside of selling it to management will be the actual device migration from the current MDM solution. From what I understand of the enrollment process manual install and config is the only path forward.
Thanks Jason for your post and discussion. -
Replacing the primary site server, SCCM 2012 R2
Hi,
Setup is currently SCCM 2012 R2 with the primary site server on Windows 2008 R2 on a Hyper-V VM with a separate physical SQL server on 2008 R2 (Windows and SQL). I'm not making any changes to the SQL server at this stage.
I want to completely replace the primary site server VM completely with a brand new VM using Windows 2012 R2.
I was looking to run the SCCM setup and using the Expand an existing stand-alone primary into a hierarchy option but it wont let me do that due to "The site code you specified should not be the same as the primary site's site code".
So seems this Expand an existing option isn't the right option for me?
Do I just add the new server in the SCCM console and add all roles and test and then delete the roles from the old server?
Thanks
EDIT: I have 7 Secondary sites, so I dont want to just start over by doing some sort of backup and restore to the new server unless someone can tell me that wont break my hierarchy.a backup and recovery is the correct way to do this, but there are a few things you should keep in mind.
Do a backup of your current environment and shut everything down.
install new vm, ensure the configuration is identical, (dns, hostname, etc...); install the same software and pre-requisites,
do a recovery
check the following links on how to do a backup and restore:

Hello Everyone,
Here is my query " In a single Mirage server environment consider server failure occurs and mirage admins doesn't knows the cause for the server failure and he cannot estimate the time that will take to fix the server.
We know that the network operations between client and server will be paused.
Can anybody suggest me what is the best practice to maintain a backup server here in this case? and also suggest if customer is not ready to have one more server as a backup server"?
Regards,
Bathesha cOur best practice is always to have one extra Mirage server ("N+1").
The cluster of Mirage servers should be connected to endpoints by a Loadbalancer.
If one server stops running, clients will be rerouted to another server. As the servers are stateless, any operation will continue seamlessly. -

We are sure that we could connect to the LDAP server since we have a JSP
page connecting to the LDAP using the SUN's jndi-ldap driver. Would that be
a LDAP version problem, if that is so, how could we set the
"java.naming.ldap.version=2" environment variable as I have said in my JSP
page.
Thanks for answering.Yes, sorry by the mistake.

if you change to sp6 you could use this
