Does SCCM 2012 R2 Secondary and DP servers really need backup?

   Hello to all. I'm involved on a SCCM 2012 R2 project that will install aprox. 20 SCCM 2012 R2 servers: 1 CAS, 3 Primary, 8 Secondary and 8 DPs (just SCCM runs on all these servers). As backup is licensed by Tb and cost is a restriction, I think
that would be acceptable to backup just CAS and 3 Primary servers. If a failure happens in any Secondary or DP, they could be reinstalled and all necessary information would be replicated from the respective Primary or Secondary.
   Questions:
    1- Is it technically feasible?
    2- If I want to run specific configuration for a site that its Secondary failed, could I run it from the respective Primary?
    3- Does #2 applie to DP (if a DP fails, could I run the necessary configs./action from its respective Secondary or Primary)
    Please feel free to input pros and cons so I can take the best decision.
Regards, EEOC.

" 2- If I want to run specific configuration for a site that its Secondary failed, could I run it from the
respective Primary?"
Just a comment regarding this design decision. Based on this sentence, it almost sounds like someone thinks you
can manage FROM a secondary. That simply doesn't happen.
I wonder... Did the person who came up with your cm12 design ever actually work with cm12 in a hierarchy (for more than
a few weeks), because based on your statements, assumptions appear to be made that cm12 hierarchy works exactly like cm07 ( or SMS 2.0 for that matter, since you couldn't manage from a secondary in cm07 nor SMS 2003 either). Having a cas and multiple
primaries will not provide the redundancy of "if one primary goes down then..." As it sounds like is being assumed is true. I think its tons riskier to have multiple primaries and a cas.

Does SCCM 2012 R2 supports PXE boot from Unix servers.

Does SCCM 2012 R2 supports PXE boot from Unix DHCP servers.
The client has DHCP on Unix servers. There are no Windows DHCP servers in the environment. Do we need Windows DHCP server for PXE boot.

You can use any modern DHCP server in your environment. DHCP is just used to help point the BIOS/Network Card to the right server, which in this case is your ConfigMgr Distribution Point with PXE Enabled.
It is strongly recommended to use IP Helper Addresses instead of the DHCP options though.
I hope that helps,

Procedure performing a "Retry Secondary Site" Operation in SCCM 2012 R2 Secondary Server

Dear Brother,
My SCCM 2012 R2 Secondary Site Server, unfortunately crashed and required to be restored, doing this I end up performing a "Retry Secondary Site Operation.
One by one I am clearing out the errors but there are few remaining errors on the prerequisite checks:
1.[Failed]:The logon account for the SQL Server service cannot be a local user account, NT SERVICE\<sql service name> or LOCAL SERVICE. You must configure the SQL Server service to use a valid domain account, NETWORK SERVICE, or LOCAL SYSTEM.
Actions Done: SQL Related Services use Logon As Domain Account "Microsoft-Domain\BillAdmin" , but still the above message still appears in the logs.
Actions Done: None
2.[Failed]:The collation of the site database does not match the collation of the parent site's database. All sites in a hierarchy must use the same database collation.
3.[Failed]:The site server might be unable to publish to Active Directory. The computer account for the site server must have Full Control permissions to the System Management container in its Active Directory domain. You can ignore this warning if you have
manually verified these permissions. For more information about your options to configure required permissions, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=233190.
Actions Done: None, as this machine is previously a working Secondary site for 1 Year already. So I do not suspect anything from the current related configuration.
4.[Failed]: Either the user account running Configuration Manager Setup does not have sysadmin SQL Server role permissions on the SQL Server instance selected for site database installation, or the SQL Server instance could not be contacted to verify permissions.
Setup cannot continue.
Action Taken: Domain Account "Microsoft-Domain\BillAdmin" has a
Sysadmin roles and actually all the check boxes are chosen to acquire all SQL account roles"
5. [Failed]:Prerequisite checks complete with failure - check ConfigMgrPrereq.log
in the root of the primary site server system drive.
6[Failed]:Unable to complete secondary site server installation - check ConfigMgrSetup.log in the root of the secondary site server system drive.

SCCM 2012 R2 PS and SS HW requirements

   Hello to all, I'm involved in a SCCM 2007 --> 2012 R2 migration and managers are asking if some secondaries servers could work if they use 4 Gb RAM because they say that they do not have buget to buy/upgrade new HW. I know that
MS suggested min. recommendation
for secondary servers is 8 Gb of RAM.
   Secondary servers in project's environment would have between 500 and 1000 machines run local SQL . Target SCCM 2012 R2 features includes reporting, patch distribution and HW+SW inventory.
   Do you have any experience using SCCM 2012 R2 secondary server below min. HW requirementes that could be shared?
   Your inputs will be appreciated.
   Regards, EEOC.

Hi,
Found a document which seemed helpful for our question, please refer to the link below.
System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Hardware used for site roles in Microsoft IT

SCCM 2012 R2 Secondary site server will support the DMZ Zone?

We are planning for SCCM 2012 Migration, currently we have separate Primary server in DMZ.
Kindly suggest what is the best method to deploy in the DMZ (separate primary or secondary or DP) because we have only 500 Client in DMZ.

Hi,
There is a blog talking about this error. You could try the method in the blog.
To summarise, when installing SCCM 2012 SP1 secondary site on a pre-configured SQL 2012 instance regardless which SQL edition is being used, “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM” account needs to be given
securityadmin and sysadmin rights. If SQL Express is used, there are few additional steps need to be carried out to configure the SQL TCP connection as documented in my previous blog:

Does SCCM 2012 monitor SCCM 2007 as well?

I have a SCOM environment and I have two SCCM environments - one is 2007 and the other is 2012R2. We are migrating from 2007 to 2012R2. I have both SCCM 2007 and 2012 MPs imported.
One thing I've noticed is that all the objects from the 2007 MPs are labeled ConfigMgr 2007, while the objects from the 2012 MPs are just labeled ConfigMgr. And when I create a subscription to send all alerts on ConfigMgr (I filtered to only show objects
in Microsoft.SystemCenter2012.ConfigurationManager.Library MP) it will send out notifications for all SCCM alerts.
So does the 2012 MP monitor 2007 as well? And if so, how can I create a subscription to only notify for 2012? I currently set up the subscription directly against the 2012 servers, but I'd like to have it go against the application instead.
Thanks.
- Get on the floor, do that dinosaur

Yes, we have Exchange. But it doesn't make sense that a subscription criteria set to the ConfigMgr application would send alerts regrading Exchange. Maybe because the SCCM client is installed on those servers...?
False alerts as in SCOM thinks one thing but its not actually the case. For example, thinking that an Exchange server is a SCCM server. And Alerting on SCCM 2007 instead of 2012.

Can I have an SCCM 2012 R2 server and a SCCM 2012 SP1 server in the same site?

We are currently using SCCM 2012 SP1/MDT 2012 Update 1 to deploy Windows 7, and to migrate existing XP installs to Windows 7 (using the offline USMT functionality in MDT). We are moving forward with Windows 8.1, and understand that
we need to upgrade our SCCM infrastructure to SCCM 2012 R2/MDT 2013. We also understand that this will cause us to lose the ability to migrate XP machines, since MDT 2013 uses a newer version of USMT that doesn’t support XP.
What do we need to do to continue to support our XP migrations, and enable deployments of Windows 8.1?
Can we have two SCCM servers in the same Site running different versions of SCCM? Do we need a separate site?

You don't explicitly need ConfigMgr 2012 R2 to support Win 8.1. SP1 CU3 will suffice although managing a few things like boot images is a little more difficult: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/10/21/how-to-enable-windows-8.1-deployment-in-sc-2012-configmgr-sp1-cu3.aspx
You could create two separate site hierarchies, but that would be painful and involve tons of duplication. There would be other issues also if the systems are located on the same subnets and in the same AD forest.
The best option is to get rid of XP. EOL is in less than 30 days!
Next best is to stay on SP1 CU3 until you get rid of XP. I know that sucks, but keeping XP around is the root cause of this and many other coming issues in any organization wanting to keep it around.

Have Existing SCCM 2012 Config mgr and want to build new config mgr

Hello,
I inherited an environment that had an SCCM 2012 Configuration Manager server setup and migrated from 2007 I believe. It is very polluted and not setup correctly to utilize any of the new features. Everything I try to implement either does not
work or throws errors.
I would like to remove this server from the environment and stand up a new SCCM 2012 server. Is this possible to do easily?

Yes this is possible, but I wouldn't call it easy. You've got to rebuild your environment and if you're not migrating your old objects, like your packages, it can be a lot of work. Also, don't forget that you'll also have to bring all your clients to your
new environment.

Coexistence of the SCCM 2012 R2 client and the App-V Full Infrastructure Model

Our environment currently has the App-V Full Infrastructure Model deployed with Windows 7 clients using hundreds of App-V apps. We plan to deploy SCCM 2012 R2 to the environment.
What is the affect on our Windows 7 users when the SCCM 2012 R2 client is deployed - will their existing App-V apps (utilizing the App-V Full Infrastructure Model) continue to function? Or will SCCM 'take over' all App-V functionality?
The only documentation I can find on this is one paragraph in the App-V and ConfigMgr 2012 White Paper (http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/5/A/15AD0DD6-40A8-49E3-86D6-C21E5D0BC7F8/App-V%20and%20ConfigMgr%202012%20White%20Paper.pdf) which
states:
Q: Is it possible to perform a phased migration from an App-V standalone or App-V Full Infrastructure
to Configuration Manager virtual application management?
A: Yes, migration to Configuration Manager virtual application management begins with deployment of
an App-V application from Configuration Manager 2012. Upon the first deployment in Configuration
Manager 2012, no new applications can be deployed via other methods, but all previously deployed
packages will be retained.
A blog post here (http://www.applepie.se/config-mgr-2012-and-app-v) seems to indicate this is expected behavior.
But then, this contradicts what Microsoft says on the TechNet website (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj822982.aspx):
Configuration Manager begins to manage virtual applications on a client after the first deployment of a virtual application. After this, all App-V applications on the computer must be managed by Configuration Manager.
Does anyone have any opinions or experience on this? Or further information?
My Microsoft Core Infrastructure & Systems Management blog -
blog.danovich.com.au

As soon as an App-V package is deployed to a user/device via SCCM then it takes over the management of the client on that device, therefore App-V packages coming from the App-V publishing server will no longer be deployed to that device.
I would assume that full cached apps would continue to be run on the local device but new content would no longer be deployed from it.

SCCM 2012 SP1 Secondary Site installation Fails

Hi.
I have multiple secondary sites when i am trying to install new SCCM 2012 Secondary site server remotely but installation status shows a pending from last few days.
1) SEC server have privilages on System managent container
2) Primary site Server account and computer have local admin right on SEC server
hman logs says the following error message
Cannot get SQL Certificate from site xxx
CheckParentSQLServerCertificate: Failed to get SQL certificate for site XXX
1) Deleted the secondary site and reinstalled the site with different Site code but no luck
2) Able to telnet 1433 and 4022 from both primary to secondary and vice versa
3) SQL server Configuration Manager , TCP IP port was set to 1433.
please let me know if any thing i am missing
Thanks

Hi Guys
Exact same problem as described above:
Been told to install SQL Express manually first, but even after that, we continued to get the same problem.
The SQL Communication between the 2 sites doesn't seem to work.
I noticed that the Primary's SQL Security Account doesn't get created on Primary DB, in the Database replication the link has not yet been created either.
The "Exec spDrsSendSubscriptionInvalid 'Secondary 3 digit site code','Primary 3 digit site code','configuration data'" worked on 1 Secondary, but fails on all the rest.
Uninstalling/Installing the Secondary doesn't work either.
HMAN.LOG:

Any ideas would be appreciated.

WSUS with SCCM 2012 - Products Missing, and Best Practices

Good morning all
I am integrating SCCM with WSUS, and I have a few questions regarding products. I've noticed when running through the "Add site system roles wizard" in SCCM 2012 console that when I go to "Products" it does NOT list a few major
products, such as office 2013, sql server 2013, exchange 2013, etc.
Am I missing something? I'm sure I am...what do I need to do?
Also, if there are any other gotchas or best practices you all can point me in the right direction as far as managing SCCM / WSUS together i'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Do not use WSUS Console to manage the updates. All you things you can finish is in the SCCM Console. Refer to the link posted by Jason.

SCCM 2012 R2: Build and Capture - Windows 8.1 prompting for network

I have upgraded my SCCM 2012 SP1 (CU2) to SCCM 2012 R2 and I am attempting to Build and Capture Windows 8.1 Enterprise. Everything is perfect except for the OS prompting for a network selection during the process, if I click "next" on that screen
the Capture finishes without incident. The same is true of the Deploy as well...
Is this a bug from my upgrade?

Hi LillonelC
Can you point out how and where to do this?
When capturing with MDT 2013 on VMware I do not see this, naturaly, since the "machine" only has one network adapter.
But when deploying to a Laptop I get the wireless Setup screen...
On beforehand Thank You!
With kind regards
We aren't using MDT but what we did was create a package called Windows 8.1 - Compnents. In it placed a file named "32Bit-Unattend.xml" and 1 named "64Bit-Unattend.xml".
During the capture in the "Apply Operating System Image" I put a check in the box "Use an unattended or Sysprep answer file for a custom installation". The package was Windows 8.1 - Compnents the File name was "32Bit-Unattend.xml".
I did the same for 64-bit and used the 64-bit version.
Here is content of the 32-bit file:

Here is the content of the 64-bit file:

</unattend>
If that doesn't help I can try to clarify it a bit further.
PS You won't need to do this for the deploy, only the capture.

Does SCCM 2012 R2 Secondary and DP servers really need backup?
