Control SMSPKG Folder creation in a Particular Partition - SCCM 2012

Hi Team,
In SCCM 2012 SP1 environment I have the following hierarchy :
1 CAS
2 Primary
5 Secondary under each Primary
Secondary Server has 3 partitions C ( 100 GB ), D ( 50 GB ) and E ( 500 GB ).
C has the OS
D has the SCCM installed + SQL Express
E has the Software Content Library, Patches, SCCM backup etc....
Now when the SCCM Secondary server was installed, During the DP role installation, I chose E drive for Software Lib and package share ( Primary option ) and Secondary as Automatic in both the cases. Based on this configuration, Software Lib and package share
 ( SMSPKGE$ ) got created in E Drive as expected. But SMSPKG folder got created in D Drive which we do not want.
Now whenever we distribute big package e.g 15GB OS image to Secondary server DPs, it uses D drive SMSPKG folder for the PCK file and fails due to insufficient space in D Drive. 
What we want is....... that SMSPKG folder should be created and used on E drive which has ample space and should not use SMSPKG folder on D Drive.
Please let me know if you need any further details in this regard.
Thanks in Advance for your help
Mike

Hi Jorgen,
Thanks for your reply. 
That stage has gone as the installation was done 1 month back without
NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS file at that time and now we are facing this space issue. Also, I have already tried below options with NO Success :
1.  Remove DP role from Secondary server, created NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS file and then again created the DP role back. When the package was pushed to Secondary server DP, it again created and  SMSPKG
folder in D drive, ignoring the .SMS file.
2. With DP role in-place,  created NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS file and again pushed the package. Same result as above..... used the SMSPKG folder on D
Drive, ignoring the .SMS file.
3. Under the Windows shares, removed SMS_CPSC$ share mapped to C:\SMSPKG and created SMS_CPSD$ share with same permission level and mapped that to newly created D:\SMSPKG, but no fun... when I pushed the package, it again created SMS_CPSC$ share mapped
to C:\SMSPKG and used it.
4. Used Contentlibrarytransfer.exe ( available in R2 toolkit ) to move the SMSPKG folder to E Drive.... it did but when I pushed a package again..... it created SMSPKG folder in D drive and started using it.
5. Under the Windows shares, used the same SMS_CPSC$ share and mapped that to D:\SMSPKG , but no fun... when I pushed the package, it replacedD:\SMSPKG to C:\SMSPKG and used it.
In SCCM 2007 we used to have a very simple option to specify the Drive letter where we want to keep the compressed files.... which I see missing in SCCM 2012....or I'm not able to find it.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Mike

  • Controlling iTunes folder creations

    I have recently installed iTunes onto my computer running Windows XP Home. I have a few .wma files that I have been converting to .mp3 files (successfully). I do not understand how to keep iTunes from creating folders for artists that did a song with another artist. Call me a control freak! I think that by switching off the option to have iTunes manage the folder where I have my music files stored should have taken care of this problem, but that is not so and it is taking me an extremely long time moving the files back to the correct folder. Upon doing this, I found out that iTunes does not recognize the files that I have moved (into the folder where they were stored before iTunes moved them) and is asking me to locate them. Upon showing iTunes where the file(s) is/are, my only option is to Open the file.
    My questions are:
    1) How do I keep iTunes from creating new folders?
    2) How do I show iTunes where the files are that I had to move back without running in circles?
    Thanks for any help.

    up2somethin -
    This is the "Feedback about New Discussions" forum. You should ask your question in iTunes for Windows. I think you'll find more people knowledgable about that version of iTunes there.

  • How to control change request creation for particular IBase Component?

    Dear Experts,
    Can anybody suggest , how to control change request creation for particular IBase Component?
    We have implemented ChaRM which is integrated with SAP ECC & SAP BI.
    ChaRM is not integrated with SAP Solution Manager.
    End Users are creating support notifications from -Help Menu- Create Support Notification.
    The IBase Component is not editable once notification is created. This Ibase is copied to change request when the action-create change document is saved.
    Requirement is that, during creation of change document, system should check the IBase component of support notification. If the IBase is related to solution manager system, system should restirct the change request creation.
    Kindly suggest how to achieve this.
    Regards
    Vivek

    Hello Vivek,
    The way to do what you want is to create a schedule condition for action Create Change Document. The action has to be displayed only when the IBase/Component value differs from SolMan. To add the IBase/Component value to the container so that it can be evaluated during runtime, you will have to create a subtype of BUS2000116 on which condition can be buit.
    See the following posts for more information :

  • Home Folder Creation w/Active Directory

    If this has been asked a million times, just point me to the url for the answer...
    I have done the leg work and have the "magic triangle" working - I can login and auth to AD and get my preferences from OD. I want our user's home folders to reside on our Windows server. I have shared out \\server\students on the Windows server and in AD I am pointing their home folder to our Windows server, but I can't get the permissions right. When I point a new user's home folder in AD to our Windows server, it creates the folder \\server\students\jtest.
    When the user logs in, none of the subfolders are created. Can someone give me some pointers on how permissions need to be set so the subfolders are created on first login?
    This is all pretty new and I'm happy that I got the triangle to work - if I can get this all important piece, I'll be set.
    Thx in advance!

    Hi
    A lot of this depends on how many OUs you have; how deep they go; and how many directories you have nested in each OU or the particular OU the directory for home folder creation is within. The accepted 'recommendation' is not more than 3 deep - generally. Having said that I have made it work with OUs 7-10 deep. Gets trickier after that.
    In my experience the non-creation of expected directories is generally down to permissions not being assigned properly - as you've guessed. Essentially users must be given read/write access all the way down the nested directories. I have seen permissions assigned correctly to a parent folder, with a set of different permissions applied to the next folder down and the next one along again with the correct permissions applied. Folder creation fails when permissions are set in this way.
    What is interesting is the log-in does not fail though you are greeted with the usual "the home folder exists on an SMB or AFP Server etc" dialog box when getting to the desktop. You sometimes get this at the log-in window as well. Although you can also see the message for other reasons - usually down to poor DNS configuration.
    You should be able to log in as the local admin and look at the system.log in Console. You should see an error starting with 'NSurl etc etc. . . ' listed. If you do that's an indication it's a permissions problem.
    Beyond this and without being there it's difficult to tell?
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • Define Control for Automatic Creation of Pick HUs

    We are using full blown HU management and in the customizing for the Control for Automatic Creation of Pick HU's you define the packaging materials to use.  The help in from of this customizing says that if this is blank the system attempts to find a common packaging material for all materials in the transfer order. 
    My issue is that when I leave this blank the packaging material that the system proposes is not the packaging material that is contained on the source HU nor is it the packaging material that is contained in the Packing Instructions.
    How does the system determine the packaging material on the destination HU?  Am I required to maintain a value in this customizing?
    Thanks

    I found my own answer so i will give myself many points.  See question to get answer.

  • Automating Folder Creation

    Here's what I want to do. I'm trying to automate client folder creation. I have a directory called clients. Every time I create a new folder in the clients folder, I'd like for it to automatically ask me what I'd like to name the folder, then I would like it to create 6 directories inside the created folder titled "legal" "spec files" "correspondence" "modules""graphic design" and "archived materials".
    How would I go about that with automator?

    A couple of options. The first uses automator and a shell script, but you would run the workflow which asks for a folder name instead of you creating it first, as you requested. The second uses Folder Actions so that when you create a new folder in your clients folder it will ask for a name and create the folders.
    Automator Method:
    1) From Files and Folders, drag over a "New Folder" action.
    2) Enter a default name for the folder in the Name: field (or leave blank)
    3) Select your Clients folder in the Where: field
    4) Click the "Options" button and tell it to "show this action when the workflow runs"
    5) From the Utilities, drag over a "Do shell script" action
    6) Select the /bin/bash shell
    7) in the Pass input field select "As arguments"
    8) Enter this code mkdir -p $1/legal/ $1/spec files/ $1/correspondence/ $1/modules/ $1/graphic design/ $1/archived materials/
    Save this workflow and run it when you want to create the new folder. If you have quick keys, launch bar, Quicksilver, or the like, you could set up a shortcut...or, you can use cmd-space to call up spotlight and search for you workflow name and launch it from spotlight.
    For the Applescript option:
    I had some glitches with it in that it seemed to re-run the script after I changed the name. I couldn't figure out if the name change drove the script to run again. Also, after creating the new folder, you have to wait a few seconds for it to trigger. Kind of annoying, I thought.
    First, copy this script to a new Script Editor script (Applescript folder).
    property dialog_timeout : 30 -- set the amount of time before dialogs auto-answer.
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
    try
    tell application "Finder"
    set theFolder to item 1 of added_items
    set response to display dialog "Please enter a folder name:" default answer "New Client"
    if button returned of response is not "Cancel" then
    set the name of folder theFolder to (text returned of response)
    make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"legal"}
    make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"spec files"}
    make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"correspondence"}
    make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"modules"}
    make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"graphic design"}
    make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"archived materials"}
    end if
    end tell
    on error theErr
    display dialog theErr
    end try
    end adding folder items to
    Save it as a script in your user/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/ folder. Run the Folder Actions Setup script in the Applescript folder and attach this script to your "Clients" folder:
    1) Click on the Enable Actions checkbox
    2) Click the "+" button in the left pane and find your clients folder
    3) Click the "+" button in the right pane and find your script you just saved.

  • Robocopy not copying the folder creation date

    We migrate the data between 2  Windowsfile servers using robocopy and it works finew ith issues. Only issue is it doesnt copy the folder creatiopn date from source to destination server, it does copy the file creation date without any issues. Command
    we use is as below.
    robocopy.exe %1 %2 /COPYALL /MIR /ZB /R:10 /W:2 /TEE /DCOPY /LOG+:robocopy_%3.log
    This command is called using a batch file where we specify the source and destination using the below syntax.
    call Robocopy_Module.bat "C:\Backup" "C:\Restore"
    Kindly advise if this is normal behaviour , if not what is the correct command used to copy the Folder creation dates.

    I was using like this
    Go to CMD prompt,
    RUN as Administrator
    Type  
    robocopy "source path" "destination Path" / MIR
    It will copy including time stamps.
    or create seprate folder in a destination place and copy everything into that folder.
    It will work.

  • Custom property not displaying at folder creation or Details screen

    Hello everyone
    I have created a custom boolean property that I need to have displayed both at folder creation and in the Details screen of a folder after it's created.  The property is in the default namespace, and is in the Custom group.  I have created a properties file for the label and created the necessary meta data extension.  The folder validity pattern is " / " and the Resource Type listed is "normalct" so that it's active for folders only.
    Then I went to Property Groups and listed my new property in the Group Items field of the Custom group.  The Custom group is a part of "all_groups" so that group is displayed both when a new folder is created in KM and when the Details screen of a folder is displayed.
    <i>However,</i> my custom property isn't displaying under the Custom tab when I go to create a new KM folder, nor when I view the Details screen of an existing folder.  What configuration am I missing?  Do I have to develop a custom property renderer for each new property I need to create?  I was hoping I could achieve this result with configuration changes only, but I must be missing something.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated and rewarded. 
    Thanks in advance,
    Fallon

    Hi Fallon,
    actualy, if you want this property to be displayed only for folders and not for documents, you don't need to specify the resource type for folders. Setting "/" or "/**" for "Folder Validity Patterns" and "" (empty) for "Document Validity Patterns" should be enough.
    If you sill experience problems, you have to check all settings, for example with the settings suggested in this <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/2654">weblog</a>. If you use the "default" Property Group in the property settings, you don't have to enter the <b>Property ID</b> in a special Property Structure Group that in turn is integrated in the all_groups Property Structure Group.
    Hope this helps,
    Robert

  • Need New for Read Access except Folder Creation

    Hi,
       I have some problem which is as follows:
    I have created the folder <b>ABC</b> in KM Content -> documents -> ABC and given the Read Rights to the user <b>user1</b>, then created the KM Navigation iView.
    Now user1 can see the ABC folder and the documents under it. The problem is that now I want to have New in the context menu and in New except folder creation, all are needed.
    How I can achieve it, please help me on this.
    Regards,
    Deep

    Hi,
    From previlages perspective If user1 should create folders under ABC, then he need more than just READ rights!!
    If you need a context menu New Folder, then you should set <b>new_folder</b>
    UICommand to your KM Navigation iView's Layoutset's Collection Renderer. The Collection Renderer property is <b>Collection  Command Group  </b>
    So have a new UI Command group and add the <b>new_folder</b> UICommand to it.

    The wiki page says I also have to add the nametrans rule to my local repository:
    you may need a nametrans rule for your local repository too that reverses the effects of this nametrans rule
    To do so I just copied the one from my remote repository to my local repository, no changes:
    [general]
    accounts = [email protected]
    maxsyncaccounts = 1
    [Account [email protected]]
    localrepository = [email protected]
    remoterepository = [email protected]
    status_backend = sqlite
    autorefresh = 5
    quick = 10
    [Repository [email protected]]
    type = Maildir
    localfolders = ~/mail/[email protected]
    nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub ('^\[gmail\]', 'bak',
    re.sub ('sent_mail', 'sent',
    re.sub ('starred', 'flagged',
    re.sub (' ', '_', foldername.lower()))))
    [Repository [email protected]]
    type = Gmail
    remoteuser = [email protected]
    remotepass = qwerty
    nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub ('^\[gmail\]', 'bak',
    re.sub ('sent_mail', 'sent',
    re.sub ('starred', 'flagged',
    re.sub (' ', '_', foldername.lower()))))
    folderfilter = lambda foldername: foldername not in '[Gmail]/All Mail'
    sslcacertfile = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
    keepalive = 60
    holdconnectionopen = yes
    [mbnames]
    enabled = yes
    filename = ~/.mutt/mailboxes
    header = "mailboxes "
    peritem = "+%(accountname)s/%(foldername)s"
    sep = " "
    footer = "\n"
    However, the wiki page says I need one that counteracts the other nametrans rule, and I don't know if this does it.
    Now when I start OfflineIMAP I get:
    OfflineIMAP 6.5.5
    Licensed under the GNU GPL v2+ (v2 or any later version)
    Account sync [email protected]:
    *** Processing account [email protected]
    Establishing connection to imap.gmail.com:993
    ERROR: INFINITE FOLDER CREATION DETECTED! Folder '[Gmail].All Mail' (repository '[email protected]') would be created as folder 'bak/all_mail' (repository '[email protected]'). The latter becomes 'bak.all_mail' in return, leading to infinite folder creation cycles.
    SOLUTION: 1) Do set your nametrans rules on both repositories so they lead to identical names if applied back and forth. 2) Use folderfilter settings on a repository to prevent some folders from being created on the other side.
    *** Finished account '[email protected]' in 0:07
    Next refresh in 5.0 minutes
    Is there anything esle I should do to the local nametrans rule?

    I changed my local repository:
    nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub ('bak', '^\[gmail\]',
    re.sub ('sent', 'sent_mail',
    re.sub ('flagged', 'starred',
    re.sub ('_', ' ', foldername.lower()))))
    Still, getting the same error
    I also tried using your nametrans rules, which led me to:
    OfflineIMAP 6.5.5
    Licensed under the GNU GPL v2+ (v2 or any later version)
    Account sync [email protected]:
    *** Processing account [email protected]

    ERROR: INFINITE FOLDER CREATION DETECTED! Folder 'bak.spam' (repository '[email protected]') would be created as folder 'bak/[Gmail]/Spam' (repository '[email protected]'). The latter becomes 'spam' in return, leading to infinite folder creation cycles.
    SOLUTION: 1) Do set your nametrans rules on both repositories so they lead to identical names if applied back and forth. 2) Use folderfilter settings on a repository to prevent some folders from being created on the other side.

  • [SOLVED] OfflineIMAP Infinite folder creation detected

    I've upgraded offlineIMAP and got the following error message:

    yep, weird one. nuking my Mail dir would be a problem i believe for me due to archives (not all imap) and the huge think and not so huge brain.
    I'm gonna try some of this.

    http://francoismichonneau.net/2011/06/e … flineimap/
    UPDATE: ahhh! i think i only need to delete the empty not needed folders in my Mail dir.
    thank you!!!

  • Remote control and remote desktop client in sccm 2012 ?

    What is the difference between remote control and remote desktop client in sccm 2012 ?

    Remote Control is a built-in feature for SCCM 2012 and uses the RPC protocol. When you use this, the user can still be logged on while helping.
    Remote Desktop is a buit-in feature for Windows and uses the RDP protcol. When you use it, the user will be logged off.
    Why you would use one over the other depends on your requirements.
