Bulk loader for SCCM 2012 collections

I am looking for a tool which will add users / computer names as direct membership to collections, Bulk loader was there in SCCM 2007 but it is not working in SCCM 2012. Please suggest..

Hi,
Here is a PowerShell script with GUI for your reference.

SCCM 2012: enable powershell execution policy for SCCM 2012 console

Hi,
I always get stuck settings up the remote sccm 2012 powershell (cd psdrive sitecode:). Maybe not a real sccm 2012 question but Powershell but wonder what steps you take to make it work (it works on our production environment, setting up in a lab always gives
me headaches, will defintely write the solution down this time :-)).
Please advise what the steps are in configuring remote powershell for SCCM 2012.
1.my personal account "Myuser" has admin-rights in sccm 2012
2.I can open Powershell logged on to the sccm 2012 server then opening sccm 2012 console, connect via powershell
3.however, when I connect remote to the sccm server, I get the error:
. : File C:\Users\Myuser\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 cannot be loaded. The file C:\Use
rs\MyUser\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 is not digitally signed. You cannot run this scr
ipt on the current system. For more information about running scripts and setting execution policy, see about_Execution
_Policies at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.
4.So I connect to the sccm-server and ask for the execution policy to unrestricted, I get this:
set-executionpolicy unrestricted
[Y] Yes [N] No [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"): y
Set-ExecutionPolicy : Windows PowerShell updated your execution policy successf
ully, but the setting is overridden by a policy defined at a more specific scope
There is no policy which sets any powershell configs.
Please advise.

Jan Hoedt

Those client settings are only for the actions performed by the ConfigMgr client. Normal PowerShell actions are restricted to the configured execution policy on the machine.
Have a look at this post:

Loading the SCCM 2012 R2 Cmdlets from within a module

Hi together,
In the following article was described how to load the Powershell Module for SCCM 2012:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/03/27/powershell-connecting-to-configuration-manager.aspx
I've taken the code to build a function to load the Powershell Module which works fine when i directly integrate it in my scripts.
Currently i build a Module called SCCM-HelperFunctions.psm1 and the above mentioned function is one which i want to integrate, i named it "Import-Cmdlets". The Import of my Module works fine, the function "Import-Cmdlets" is available
trough IntelliSense and the command ends with no errors in the context of the given Site (ex. "PS CM1:\") but when i try to use SCCM Cmdlets the Command is not found.
I've checked if the Module was loaded successfully but it isn't. Following is the function included in the Module:
Function Import-SCCMCmdlets {
<#
.SYNOPSIS

Set-Location "$($SiteCode):" | Out-Null
if (-not (Get-PSDrive -Name $SiteCode))
Throw "Beim Versuch das Powershell Modul zu laden und auf das PSDrive $Sitecode zu wechseln trat ein Fehler auf."
The exact same function works when i copy it to the ISE and run it.
Does anyone have any ideas and can point me into the right direction? (eventually different workspaces when the function runs from within the module or something like that?)

Configuring Reporting services for SCCM 2012

Hi,
I just finish create SQL reporting services ( configure Database, report manager URL) in SQL 2008 R2 for SCCM 2012. When I open the Report option in SCCM console (Monitoring --> Report), no report listed there and then I try to add in Reporting service
point for it, but get an error message
"There is a problem connecting to the specific reporting server. Please check the connection and make sure SQL reporting service is running on the specified server"
I manually browse to http://sqlserver/reportserver or
http://sqlserver/reports , that is no any folder exist there (I assume when I configure reporting service it will automatic create a folder for it with all report inside?). Anyone can guide me on how to solve this issue?
Regards,

What will be the IPV6 values to configure boundary?

Depending on how the clients connect use the IPv6 prefix of their 6to4, Teredo, and/ or IP-HTTPS tunnel. Just keep in mind that it could become a long list...

Problem to generat an report on an SSRS for SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. I got error has occurred during report processing.

Hi,
Problem to generat an report on an SSRS for SCCM 2012 R2 SP1. I got error has occurred during report processing.
In general it is no problem to generat SSRS reports, but an custom one i get issue with.
The Error:
An
error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query
execution failed for dataset 'DataSet1'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
ExecuteReader:
CommandText property has not been initialized

Hi SaiTech,
According to your description, when you render report on SCCM 2012 R2, you got the error message.
According to my knowledge, the issue can be caused by following reasons:
Select permission not granted to ConfigMgr reporting account. We need to open the SQL management console and open the properties dialog box of configmgr db, grant select and execute permission to ConfigMgr reporting account.
Reporting Services Web Service URL or Report Manager is false. Make sure Web Service URL and Report Manager URL are correct. Restart SMS_Executive service and reinstall Reporting Service Point, then please render the report again.
Report timeout. Increase query and report timeout.
If the problem remain unresolved, please provide detailed information of SRSRP.log (default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft and Configuration Manager\Logs) and reporting services error log(default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL
Server Instance>\Reporting Services\LogFiles), it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

OSD: SCCM 2012 collection which should exclude Windows 7 clients (query not working fine)

Hi,
We have an SCCM 2012 collection to which we deploy Windows 7.
Vista clients get a SCCM 2012 client in SCCM 2007 and once they have it, they get a Windows 7 deployment.
The group is populated by an AD query and that works fine. However, when we try to exclude Windows 7 machines (query = not Windows NT ... 6.1) the query does not return any result.
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

Please check your query. It should be like the following.
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_OPERATING_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_OPERATING_SYSTEM.Version != "6.1.7601"

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.

Any major changes to the database for SCCM 2012 and Reporting?

I'm in the process of migrating my custom reports from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012. I wonder if all the tables / views in SCCM 2007 are the same in SCCM 2012 for my reporting purposes? So far everything I've migrated over appears to work without a problem.

SQL 2012 Enterprise SP1 installation for SCCM 2012 R2

I am just starting to install SQL 2012 with SP1 Enterprise for SCCM 2012 R2.
Does anyone have a step by step guide for this install please
I am planning to install SQL 2012 with SP1 Enterprise as a physical install which I intend to geo cluster later on
Also I am thinking of installing WSUS on a separate server and get my SCCM 2012 servers (1 primary and 3 secondary) to use this server - would appreciate some help on how this can be setup as well

That doesn't make sense to me. Both versions are fully supported on virtual and physical platforms.
Also, I'm with Garth - local SQL all the way.
Here are my thoughts on the subject
http://www.gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.ie/2013/10/configmgr-sql-some-tips.html
ConfigMgr is not a real-time product like Exchange, for example. A certain amount of downtime can be tolerated. I would spend more time implementing a robust backup solution, rather than trying to implement high availability.
You should be able to recover a ConfigMgr site from SQL backup in a couple of hours.

Required access for SCCM 2012 R2 Client End

Hi all,
What is minimum level of access required for SCCM 2012 client machines management ( Deploy , Discovery , agent install …etc) , we have an account called clientdeploy , is that account is mandatory
to have local administrators privilege on all client machine to manage everything , is that Microsoft recommended one ?
Sengo

No, Not required this account to be local admin in all client.
If you want access required for sccm 2012, for deploying app., O.s and managing client, this account must be member of sms group such as configmgr remote control users for remote tool
For more details, you can refer below link

Pre-requisites for SCCM 2012 R2

Hi Experts,
I want to know is it mandatory to install and configure WDS, WSUS and MDT before deploying SCCM 2012 R2
Are the Above roles prerequisites....????
What would be the possible pre-requisites for SCCM 2012 R2..???

For the pre-requisites, you can refer to the article that Torsten already shared.
As Torsten already mentioned, the installation of WDS, WSUS and MDT is optional. However, if you are planning to do OS Deployment (OSD) then consider installing WDS and MDT (Of course, you can install MDT if you would like to take advantage of its use).
As for WSUS, you can consider installing it if you would like to ensure a central management of Software Updates. So, depending on your requirements, you can decide what to do.

I need your help to do Hardware Sizing for SCCM 2012 R2 environment (SCCM and SQL on same server) with 1000 clients. I have identified the Vm for this installation,
Kindly share the RAM, HDD (Partitions for OS, Data, Log etc..) and No.of CPU
Additionally kindly confirm SQL server 2012 SP1 requires any CU for SCCM 2012 R2 environment.

Just an example...
At least 16GB RAM, 2 or more CPUs.
Basically your HDD configuration depends do you have fast disk or slow disk. HDD has to be fast, Johan has very good examples here:
http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/115/Sizing-your-ConfigMgr-2012-R2-Primary-Site-Server.aspx
SQL Server 2012 SP1 doesn't require any CU for ConfigMgr 2012 R2.
