Client "discoverying" SCCM Server?

Hi,
I got a strange problem, we are in the process of implementing the SCCM 2012 R2 into our company, and for testing purposes i designated only one OU to be discoverable by our new SCCM 2012 R2 server, but every now and then another computer is discovered randomly.
How can that be when those computers which are discovered are nowhere near the OU in which SCCM is setup to discover computer objects. Right now I only have one test computer object inside.
Only two discovery methods i have enabled in this moment are heartbeat discovery and AD system discovery.
Thanks,

Look at the client version. It's a down-level client left over from a previous 2007 installation.
It's not truly manageable from the 2012 site, but the client doesn't know that so its sending its info up and because the discovery format hasn't changed, the 2012 site is still creating a resource for it.

Trying to connect to DA Clients using SCCM Server through IPHTTPS DA Connections

Hello,
I have been working on this for some time now. I opened up a ticket with Microsoft to help us setup or DA Server, and they were able to get it setup. However, SCCM server tools (Remote Control) would not to the Client. We found a few articles
stating that this was a firewall issue on the clients and we needed to open a few ports with Edge Transversal. We did so. I am able to RDP in to clients, but only from DA server. My SCCM server still cannot connect.
I think the overall issue is not Firewall related, however. I think it has to do with ipv6. DA uses IPv6 for clients. My internal network is ipv4. Do I have to erect a IPv6 DHCP scope in my environment for my internal SCCM Server to see the DA Clients?

Hi,
If you want a host located on your internal network to communicate with A DirectAccess client IPv6 will be required from end to end. If your SCCM server is not ISATAP client you must setup a Jumpbox configured as an ISATAP client of the ISATAP server (your
DA Gateway internal network card). Have a look at these blog posts :

Client installation is not successful & not showing activity in SCCM Server 2012

Environment : SCCM Server 2012 Configured successfull and installed clients using client push method , successfully Completed . I have seen Active, And push software to corresponding clients . installed successfully
We have internal & external networks in our environment . Internal network in data center , the sccm server is also in data center . All client systems is getting software's from sccm in internal network ( done successful) .
i have opened the ports in firewall 135,139,80,443,445, etc (TCP,UDP)
When iam trying to push the client from SCCM server to external network client system. it is not installing the Ccm setup ,
not showing "Active" in SCCM server .
I have added a Account in Client push , Same account i added in Client system Administrator group .
Info : All systems in Device collection
please updated the suggestions, to solve this issue .
Thanks in advance

Client push requires more than just those handful of ports as it uses RPC and SMB to push the initial required files -- thus, you need to open the dynamic high ports required for RPC.
You can easily see this activity in the ccm.log.If you are unable/unwilling to open the RPC high ports, then you should choose an alertnate client install method.

SCCM 2012 R2: does the sccm server itself need a sccm 2012 client?

Hi,
The question is simple. Reason, I update my SCCM 2012 R2 forefront clients via automatic update rule. The server itself has also the forefront/SCEP client but no sccm client.
So I wonder if in general it 's a good idea to install the sccm 2012 client to the SCCM server itself.

Hi,
There is no document about installing the SCCM 2012 client to the SCCM server itself.
It's depends on whether you want to monitor the SCCM server.

How to force site code discovery on all the clients, Migration SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012

HI,
I migrated SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 SP1, but the clients does not update the New Site Code Automatically, if I click on Discovery option the client find the new site, but I need do this automatically because are too many clients.
This registry key does not exist on client computers.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\MobileClient\GPRequestedSiteAssignmentCode
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\MobileClient\GPSiteAssignmentRetryInterval(Min)
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\MobileClient\GPSiteAssignmentRetryDuration(Hour)
Any Help?
Thanks.

Hello ICH-CR,
Thanks for writing to the SysCtr ConfigMgr forums.
I think there are multiple solutions to this issue and you can choose whatever fits best to your scenario.
1. While upgrading the clients from SCCM 2007 to 2012 you can assign the clients to your ConfigMgr 2012 site.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682060.aspx#BKMK_AutomaticAssignment
You just need to ensure that you have a boundary group and boundaries. More details on
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/13694ac5-8f3b-42a9-8040-b23f21c79637#BMBK_CreateBoundaryGrp
I would suggest the first method because if you create another child site, you shouldn't have to reassign the clients back again. If that is unlikely then use the following script which is method no 2
2.
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Change-sccm-configmgr-cf6e0327
This is a VBSCRIPT and can be ran from a network location using the PSEXC
3. Here is a smaller script
'Replace with your Site Code sSiteCode = "EnterNewSiteCode"
sMachine
= "."
set oCCMNamespace
= GetObject("winmgmts://"
& sMachine & "/root/ccm")
Set oInstance
= oCCMNamespace.Get("SMS_Client")
set oParams
= oInstance.Methods_("SetAssignedSite").inParameters.SpawnInstance_()
oParams.sSiteCode
= sSiteCode
oCCMNamespace.ExecMethod
"SMS_Client",
"SetAssignedSite",
oParams
You can use this script as a logon script .

SCCM server shows no client installed

I have a image which i deploy across all computers. one of the models i have installs the end point but it shows on the sccm server that there is no client installed. do you know
what could be the reason for this? the same image can be deployed to all the other computers without any issue. its one of the newest hp computers which we got. Model: 800 G1 i build the driver package off of the hp website.

Because it's not communicating properly with the site most likely. You'll have to examine the log files on the client itself and verify that it even has connectivity. The issue could be about a million different things so roll up your sleeves and start
troubleshooting.

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server

How to reduce configuration cache file Quota size located in ( C:\Windows\ccmcache ) for all client from SCCM 2012 server
Thanks in Advance
NTRao

Hi,
There are numerous ways to change the cache size.
You could deploy a vbscript to a collection of the devices.
On Error Resume Next
Dim UIResManager
Dim Cache
Dim CacheSize
CacheSize=20000
Set UIResManager = createobject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
Set Cache=UIResManager.GetCacheInfo()
Cache.TotalSize=CacheSize
Or you could use a configuration item.
http://blog.coretech.dk/heh/configuration-items-and-baselines-using-scripts-powershell-example/
You can also use the right click tools by Now Micro on a collection, if all the servers are on this would be the easiest / quickest way.

FEP clients update defintitions from SCCM server, but not timely

Our FEP clients are configured to download definition updates from WSUS. They seem to be doing this, but not as frequently as they should; the policy is set to check for updates every 7 hours, but they do not usually download updates until definitions
are a week or more out of date.
This seems to be true even if we try to force an update by clicking the
Update button on the FEP client. For example, my client right now shows "Definitions created on" 2/13/2012, but "Definitions last checked:" shows a 2/15/2012 timestamp (I clicked the button a few minutes ago).
While the definitions on my workstation are two days out of date, other computers on the network have today's definitions, so it looks like the definitions on the SCCM server are up to date.
What's going on here?

hi
im also having the same issues please find the WindowsUpdate.log and give me a fix

SCCM Server 2007 Client=No

I have a question SCCM Server 2007.
Displayed on the screen "Client=No"
I think so deployment security patch status.
Please tech me for confirmation.
I want confirmation from SCCM Server 2007.
I am sorry for the inconvenience but I would appreciate your cooperation.
Can you send me a reply,please.

Need to check whether the client is successfully installed or not. This can be confirmed from client machine (ccmsetup.log) and other client logs (CCM folder).
Once the client is installed successfully but it's not reporting back the installation status then please refer to the following article http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2009/08/10/troubleshooting-issues-where-clients-are-not-reporting.aspx

How to configure SNMP on all managed client using SCCM 2012 SP1

hi ,
do you know How to configure SNMP on all managed client using SCCM 2012 SP1?

As a side note, I made an interesting discovery last week: the SNMP Service is deprecated in Windows Server 2012. Why would you want to use SNMP on an actual Windows OS though? There are far better ways available to monitor Windows. I'm sure that lines
up with why they deprecated it.

PXE boot issue with DHCP and SCCM server on different subnets

I'm working with a client on the operating system deployment module of SCCM.
Their network configuration currently has a single large subnet for client
computers with a DHCP server on the same subnet. The SCCM subnet is
configured on a seperate subnet with no DHCP server on the subnet. We want to
configure client computers to be able to boot using the PXE client to deploy
OS images to the machines but can not get PXE-boot to work correctly.
Also, the client does not want to make changes to their network
infrastructure routers or switches to remedy this problem. Are there settings
on the DHCP or SCCM servers we can implement to make this work? If so, what
needs to be installed or configured on each server. We currently already have
WDS installed on the SCCM server and the SCCM server is configured as a PXE
Service Point within SCCM. Both WDS and the PXE Service Point seem to be working fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary

SCCM 2012 What Ports Do I need to open so DMZ servers can communicate with my SCCM Server?

Hi,
What ports do I need to open in the firewall so my DMZ servers can talk to my SCCM server on the network?
Here are my steps before to make my DMZ servers talk to my SCCM server:
1. On my SCCM 2012 SP1 CU2 I have bounderies installed --> I install SCCM Client on my DMZ server with the appropriate switches --> I go back to my SCCM server to approve the server --> Works
But now my DMZ servers stops getting definition updates from my SCCM server and I was suggested that it is much easier to open ports in DMZ.
Now, could you please tell me what ports should we open to ensure two way communication among servers?
Thanks!

Yes and no. It's a bit muddy at times.
For Internet based clients, putting an Internet-enabled MP in the DMZ is perfectly acceptable because Internet clients will only choose MPs enabled for Internet communication.
For systems in the DMZ, that's where it really gets muddy. There's no perfect way to accomplish this. IMO, DMZ clients should be allowed to go back to the MP/DP in the Intranet with a targeted opening in the DMZ firewall rules that allows them to only go
to the internal MP. That's a security policy question though for your organization.
Another option is to treat the clients in the DMZ as Internet only clients. This way, they will only go to the Internet MP in the DMZ. You do lose some functionality though like Remote Control.
A final way is to actually put an MP/DP in the DMZ and deal with the timeout's that happen when clients try to talk to the MP in the Intranet. Clients will try 5 times to contact that MP before giving up. They try to find a new MP at the following times
(which are not configurable):
- Every 25 hours
- WHen the client detects a network change
- When the client agent starts

Deploying Lync 2010 client via SCCM

I am trying to distribute the new Lync client via SCCM (SCCM is not the problem here, this related to any software distribution product).
I am getting frustrated at the way the new client has been packaged - LyncSetupEval.exe in particular. Why can't Microsoft provide a simple MSI file?
I can run the LyncSetupEval.exe file with /Install /Silent, but this managed to crash OUTLOOK.exe when it runs. Also when it completes, it automatically starts communicator.exe in the SYSTEM context, meaning that unless you restart your machine, you
cannot run the Lync client in the user context.
Is anyone else having the same frustrations? I've played around with the files in the OCSetup directory, but there are of no use.

Hi Ryan,
Happy to share. I do a simple messy batch file / VB Script combination like this:
@echo off
ECHO Set wshShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" ) >> usermessages.vbs
echo wshShell.Popup "The Microsoft Lync 2010 client is about to be installed. Please close Microsoft Outlook and Internet Explorer before clicking OK to continue.", 300, "Microsoft Lync 2010 installation" >> usermessages.vbs
ECHO WScript.Sleep(5000) >> usermessages.vbs
WSCRIPT.EXE usermessages.vbs
DEL usermessages.vbs /q
ECHO Installing Microsoft Lync 2010...
taskkill /F /IM communicator.exe
taskkill /F /IM outlook.exe
taskkill /F /IM iexplore.exe
LyncSetup.exe /Install /Silent
taskkill /F /IM communicator.exe
msiexec.exe /p OUTLOOK.msp /qb-!
office2007-kb936864-fullfile-x86-en-us.exe /passive /norestart
msiexec.exe /update Lync.msp /qb-!
ECHO Set wshShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" ) >> usermessages.vbs
echo wshShell.Popup "The Microsoft Lync 2010 client installation was successful and can now be run from the Start Menu.", 300, "Microsoft Lync 2010 installation" >> usermessages.vbs
WSCRIPT.EXE usermessages.vbs
DEL usermessages.vbs /q
I'm sure it could be a lot nicer, there is no error passing or anything but it has served me well.

Support for Internet based client Management - SCCM 2012

Hi There,
My Company wants to go for Internet based client Management in SCCM 2012 SP1 R2 and here is the design I'm proposing. I'm getting a bit confused at one point and need suggestion....
Everything would work on HTTPS ( PKI Certificate based )... LAN and Internet.
1 Primary ( with non-client facing roles installed ) on LAN with two site systems.
- One Site System configured for INTRANET support only with MP, DP and SUP -> To support LAN users ( Allow
Intranet-only connections )
- One Site System configured for INTERNET support only with MP, DP and SUP -> To support Internet users ( Allow
Internet-only connections )
The INTERNET facing site system is in DMZ network connected to parent Primary via Firewall.
We want internet clients to talk to ONLY DMZ SCCM Site System and no connection to corporate LAN. We cannot open any ports for internet based clients to LAN.
If this is the supported scenario, then why we need to put the Internet FQDN in the Primary server Site System property. This server would not be available to internet. It should only be my DMZ SCCM server client should connect for MP, DP and SUP and only
this DMZ server should be accessible to client over internet.
Also, what least ports should be opened between :
- Parent Primary and its internet facing site system kept in DMZ
- DMZ Site system and internet clients.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Sam

The FQDN has only to be specified on the Internet facing site system. You can leave this field blank on the primary site Server.
Ports to Open:
Internet --> DMZ Site Server:
TCP Port 443
TCP Port 80, if Fallback Status Point is installed
DMZ Site Server --> Primary Site:
TCP 135, 49152-65535
TCP 445
TCP 135, 24158 (fixed with
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb219447(v=vs.85).aspx )
TCP 80, 443
If you have some other roles installed, please consult this page:

SCCM Task Sequence Fail to Connect Share Folder on SCCM server

those days we have an task sequence issue- can't connect to share folder on the SCCM server
Enviroment
in our network, we have DHCP server, DC server, DNS server. we are trying to bring up an new server to boot from the SCCM server. we have two VLAN in our environment. VLAN 54 and VLAN 200.
the DHCP/DC/SCCM/DNS are all running on VLAN200
Issue
we have those steps in this task sequence
Installing OS
setup windows and configuration manager
connect to an share folder to SCCM(run some sicrpts)
run the scripts
install the sqlserver
1. when the VM running on VLAN 200, no issue on all the task list, we can access the share folder on SCCM server.
and task sequence run ran success.
2. but when VM running on VLAN 54, issue came. when the task sequence run into the [Setup Operation System]/[Connect to network folder]. this step can't get the share folder to sccm server.
then the task sequcne was quit, so we logined to vm have a look. run the ipconfig/all. no IP address get from DHCP server.
but when we run the command ipconfig/renew on this VM, then we can get the IP address from DHCP server.
we have tried an alternative solution like below.
add an step ipconfig/renew before connect to share folder, then the task sequence can connect to share folder, but when the task run into last step- install the SQL from package.
unfortunately, we came cross another issue.
Failed to invoke Execution Manager to Install Software for PackageID='GDL00008' ProgramID='Install SQL 2005 Standard SP4' AdvertID='GDL2001F' hr=0x800706ba InstallSoftware 12/10/2013 11:48:17 PM 1012 (0x03F4)
InstallSoftware failed, hr=0x800706ba InstallSoftware 12/10/2013 11:48:17 PM 1012 (0x03F4)
Quetions
so we suspect there may something to do with network, but the network team said there is no issue on their side. so what i can go to research, how can i fiind the root cause or how to confirm it is an network issue. do you guys have any idea on this issue?

The error means RPC server unavailable. TS needs to invoke Execution Manager by RPC. This may be caused by the issue of RPC starting. I suggest you check the RPC service availability first. Another try is to add a restart computer step before installing
SQL. If still no avail, add a Delay "cmd.exe /c timeout /t 900".
Regarding the connecting network share issue, seems the network services has not been initializing or ready. Another possibility is the DHCP time out. Check the Event log and this may give you some clues of why the network is not ready or DHCP cannot get
IP address. Network Monitor can also be used to monitor the IP helper when the Client try to send DHCP request after reboot.
