Driver issues with HP Z440 and SCCM 2012 R2?

Greetings, we received our first charges of Z440 workstations last week. We immediately downloaded the HP Z440 driverpack from http://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HP_Driverpack_Matrix_x64.html and imported those into our System Center Configuration Manager 2012 R2. Of course we did use the Win 8.1 drivers to inject into our boot image and wie normally imported the Windows 7 drivers for the Windows 7 deployment.Well, unfortunately SCCM WinPE5 does not show any drives installed, even with the correct drivers installed. We even tried to import the WinPE 5 driver pack and the drivers from SoftPaq download manager, but none of those seemed to work. Is there any known issues with Z440s drivers and SCCM? Please help me out on this, it's pretty urgent. Thank you & kind regards

The problem cannot be replicated. My Z440 has an 1TB WD SATA drive attached to port 0 of sSATA 6 Gb/s. Download and install the ´Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) for Windows 8.1 Update´: https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=39982 Download and extract the ´Intel Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise Utility and Driver for Microsoft Windows (64-bit Editions)´, 4.1.0.1046 B(12 Nov 2014), sp69762.exe:http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6978829&swItemId=wk_139802_1&swEnvOid=4059 Copy the IRST driver “64bit_RSTe_4.1.0.1046_F6_Drivers” abd sub folders into “C:\z440_x64\64bit_RSTe_4.1.0.1046_F6_Drivers” Open the ´Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment´ command window as administrator and create bootable USB media:copype amd64 c:\winpe_x64 Dism /Mount-image /ImageFile:c:\winpe_x64\media\sources\boot.wim /index:1 /MountDir:c:\winpe_x64\mountDism /Add-Driver /image:C:\winpe_x64\mount /driver:C:\z440_x64 /recurseDism /Get-Drivers /image:C:\winpe_x64\mountdism /unmount-wim /Mountdir:c:\winpe_x64\mount /commitMakeWinPEMedia /UFD c:\winpe_x64 d: Boot Z440 to F10 Setup.Set Factory Defaults and exit.Boot to WinPE media created above.I also tested the wim file as the boot image in SCCM 2012. The hard drive is detected correctly.

Hi Santosh,
I think the Reporting Services integration works with SQL Server 2008/2008 R2. When the SQL Server 2012 is installed, there is an option to install Reporting Services - SharePoint bits. Details can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/jj219068(v=sql.110).aspx
Once the Reporting Services components have been installed you should be able to configure the SQL Server Reporting Service Application and use the Reporting Services content types in your SharePoint libraries
Hope this helps

Top 4 basic issues that are encountered in SCOM 2012 and SCCM 2012

HI,
I need to give a presentation on the basic issues that are encountered in SCOM 2012 and SCCm 2012.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks in advance
Rohith Kumar

Hi,
I am not familiar with SCCM, so I will give some issue I encounterred in SCOM:
1. Not monitored and grey agent, here is an article for your reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212723.aspx
2. Failed to discover and install agents, this may caused by the action account or install account does not have proper permissions to install the agents. Some time maybe the discovery rule is not enabled.
3. Failed to import Management Pack, this may caused by references MPs are not imported to the management group, or sometime the proper referenced MPs are imported, but there may be incorrect typing in the XML file which defines the management pack.
4. Runas account and Action account fail. If you change password for action account, you may also need to change the password everywhere the account is used in SCOM. For run as account, if the account does not have enough right to run some tasks, we may
encounter errors. You may refer to the below link which take SQL mp for example:

On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it a windows 8 issue?

No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

X240 Network Driver issue with Windows PE

HelloI am working with OSD deployment in a big organisation. We are using SCCM 2012 SP1 to deploy new computers with our own image and applications. The new Thinkpad X240 is causing a big problem at the moment since we do not seem to be able to find an appropriate Ethernet network driver for the built-in Intel ethernet interface that is working in winPE 4.0. This is what happens.The computer boots, I press the F12 key, the computer presents a list of bootable devices, I choose the ethernet NIC.The computer PXE boots - it recieves an DHCP address from our server, downloads boot.wim, downloads the boot.winPE.boot.wim file and then starts winPE on the X240. It gets to "Preparing Network Connections", hangs there for a while, and then it reboots.If I use the F8 option and run ipconfig, it reports "Windows IP Configuration" and nothing else. If I run /renew it says "The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation". There seems to be no NIC available to winPE to start the Task Sequence with.I have downloaded the Windows 8 x64 Network driver and the Windows 7 x64 enterprise driver package Network driver from Lenovo, for this model and injected the Network drivers in the WinPe boot file. Neither of these drivers is working with the Network Interface in winPE. We do not have any problems with any other models, they all install with our SCCM 2012 SP1. Is there anyone who have experienced and resolved this? Kind regardsNick

Hello, I experiencing the strikly same situation with the same configuration :- SCCM 2012 SP1,- SCCM 2012 SP1 Boot Image x86 4.0,- Lenovo X240,- Drivers Lenovo SCCM package for Windows 7 (32-bit) http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/downloads/ds038819- Task Sequence W7x86. No problem when deploying an adaptated Task Sequence with Lenovo X250. However, WinPE don't allowing the network adapter to get a TCP IP configuration when deploying with Lenovo X240. To resolve this situation, do you use :- the standard boot image in the Windows 8 DVD or a customized one with Windows ADK ?- your boot image is this a x86 type or x64 ?- In case of a customized Boot Image, have you, please, some advice to give to use Windows ADK ?

Every PC_COVKEY, query should recursively join and generate set of records depending on latest SEQUENCE_ALPHA for the coverage number at that point of time. For ex,
for 10020335P8017MT0010042 (4 row) should generate 2 records

Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

Has anyone else been having hard drive issues with 13" MacBook Pro barely a year old?

Yes, BUT...
... there are many problems that are really easy to eliminate by replacing the Hard drive, including ones that have nothing to do with actual Drive Hardware failure. These include corrupted install of Mac OS X, its EFI partition, clobbered partition tables, or the appearance of Bad Blocks in a critical area.
Any of these problems can sometimes be eliminated by re-initializing the entire drive and writing Zeroes, and re-installing from scratch. The trouble is, this process takes hours to complete, and is not guaranteed to be successful -- you may still need a new drive after all that effort.
I learned from my Plumber that consumers have no appetite for solutions that might work, and detest return visits for any related problems whatsoever. You or your friend may have had your drive replaced, not because it actually failed, but because the situation was troublesome, and the provider thought you would not tolerate anything less than a crisp, complete fix on the first attempt. And based on the cost of technician time, it may have even been cheaper that way.

Hi, I had recently purchased ipad3 and but obviously have been having issues with heating up and some minor issues with video playback etc. Apple has agreed to replace my device. I need help in deciding whether i should get a new ipad3 or opt for ipad2.

Hi, I had recently purchased ipad3 and but obviously have been having issues with heating up and some minor issues with video playback etc. Apple has agreed to replace my device. I need help in deciding whether i should get a new ipad3 or opt for ipad2. Seller is willing to replace it with ipad2 as well..
Have also heard that the ipad3 revamped version is around along with the mini pad rumor..too much information - lot's of confusion pls help

Lindsay,
Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

Audio driver issue with my HP Compaq DC7800 Convertible Minitower

Hello,
I am having an Audio driver issue with my HP Compaq DC7800 Convertible Minitower desktop PC.
A few days ago I have formatted my desktop PC and installed a new Windows XP Service pack 3. As I needed driver for my device I have managed to find all drivers except the one for my audio device. As I saw I have integrated audio on my motherboard, but drivers that I have found on a support site of HP (drivers download) none of them work and there are too many (I have also needed to download drivers for other devices form intel site but this is another issue). So, now I was hoping that someone can help me to find (finally) and install audio device so I can finish with installation process. I would be veeeeeerrrry thankful for that Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It does not matter . I have found the driver that I needed: ADI High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver - Sound Max
thx anyway

Cost of Intune and SCCM 2012 r2 vs SCCM 2012 r2 ICBM

Is there any research/info on pros and cons of SCCM 2012 using intune for internet clinet management vs SCCM 2012 r2 and ICBM? Things like cost, supportabiliy, etc. I have seen intune vs sccm not Intune & SCCM vs SCCM and Internet Client
Based Management.
Cyndy

Hi,
I think the reason is that you cannot manage Windows clients using the WIndows Intune Agent and integrate it with SCCM 2012. The integration with Intune and SCCM 2012 is for Mobile Device Management only so there is no possibility to install the Windows
Intune Agent on a client and then manage it through the SCCM Admin Console.
THe only scenario where that would work is if you manage a Windows 8.1 with the OMA-DM agent and enroll them in Intune as a mobile device with a limited set of features.
So ICBM is still the way to go if you need all the features in SCCM or you want one console to rule them all.

Issues with Car Bluetooth and the 9630

Hey guys,
Over at the crackberry forums there are many people reporting issues with the tour and car bluetooth. Basically, for people that are syncing the tour with the bluetooth in their cars, people can barely hear them. We can hear everyone just fine, but when talking the person on the other end reports that our voice is very low. This is happening on VZW, Sprint, Bell and Telus, which leads me to belive this is an issue with the OS itself. The link to the discussion at crackberry is http://forums.crackberry.com/f141/car-bluetooth-tour-issue-they-can-t-hear-me-well-267206/ I'm hoping someone from RIM cam comment on this or provide some help. This is a VERY frustrating issue to Tour owners especially with so many places having "hands free" laws.
Thanks!

Greetings from Charleston!
I was using a Verizon 8830 World Edition until I upgraded to the Verizon Blackberry Tour on launch day July 12. I never had any Bluetooth issues before and I'm not having any now. As a matter of fact, I would say the quality is a tad better. My volume is controlled by my car when the Blackberry is connected via Bluetooth and I've actually had to turn it down sometimes because it has been so loud. I drive a 2007 Toyota Landcruiser. I suspect it has less to do with the Blackberry than it does with the car. Perhaps there's a Bluetooth software/firmware update necessary for some of your vehicles?
All in all, I love this new Blackberry!!
Cheers!

Is the Time Capsule wi-fi router compatible with the Nest thermostat? I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?

I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?
If so, i already have a wi-fi router, so can the Time Capsule simply be used for wireless backup instead of as a router if there is conflict?

A TC is fundamentally a AE with a sata chip included to drive the hard disk. Some slightly different bios to include disk functions, although most of those are also on the AE. So as a router it is 99.999% identical.
And yes, if you have another router you can easily bridge the TC and use wireless for backups and internet connection. Once you no longer route through the TC the issues with most NAT problems including port forwarding should disappear.. mostly this is due to all apple routers using NAT-PMP instead of upnp which is the near universal standard for opening ports.. without upnp apple keep their routers more exclusive.

Issues with Exchange Account and Q10

Well, I hate to be writing this, but I'm hoping that there might be someone out there that can help get past some first day issues I am experiencing.
The background: I have a long history with legacy BlackBerry devices, and almost as much history with iOS devices. My most recent phone was an iPhone 4S, and I make extensive use of iCloud to keep my iMacs, iPhone, and iPad connected in real-time. The setup worked. It wasn't perfect, but it worked. However, because I used to have a BlackBerry device (most recent the 9930) and because I don't use the iPhone for more than e-mail, iMessage, and phone calls (generally speaking), I decided to give the newest BlackBerry device a shot. So I bought a Q10.
At this point I feel compelled to say that the hardware is everything I had hoped it to be. It's solid, has a good weight, and appears to be made very well. I have no complaints with the hardware, including the keyboard (a big selling factor for me), so I won't really get into the hardware as the issues I am experiencing all have to do with the OS. Let me also say that I am very familiar with the iCloud integration issues (missing Contact photos and disabled Calendar sync), so I'm not voicing a complaint over those issues in this thread.
I have connected my Exchange account. I used to have everything in Exchange before I moved my entire computing world over to Apple, and now I keep Exchange around for e-mail. Therefore, I have no contacts, no tasks, no notes, very limited calendar entries, and a massive amount of e-mail on the Exchange server. However, to test everything out, I have added a single contact record so I can see it show up on the phone and be able to test two-way sync between the Q10 and Exchange. And here is where the first issues crop up. It looks like Exchange connects and then disconnects at random. For example, if I open my Contacts on the phone, I see the one contact (called John Doe). Then, as the phone is sitting there with the screen on, the contact will disappear and I will see a "Start adding contact to your contact list" notice on the screen. Then, after a short period of time, the single contact will return. It is important to note that the entire time this is happening, the All Contacts option is selected in the list so that all available contacts are shown. Additionally, I have SIM card contacts turned off, but if I alter the selection in the view list (All Contacts, Favorites, etc.), the SIM contacts will re-appear when I return to the All Contacts view. At the same time, even though I have turned off SIM Contacts in the settings, the setting has reverted to show SIM Contacts. If I turn off the setting again, SIM Contacts still show up. Possibly related: I can't delete contacts on the SIM card, no matter how many times I try, and it now it seems that I can't get SIM Contacts to go away in the Contacts app.
Likewise, Exchange seems to connect and disconnect from Calendar. I go to the calendar and move day by day to June 15th. I see an entry that I know is from Exchange (I have no other connected calendars at this time), and it is in blue. I change the calendar color to green and the entry changes color, as expected. However, if I jump back to today and then scroll day by day to get to June 15th again, the calendar entry is missing. After a few seconds, the entry re-appears, but it is, once again, in blue. The setting has reverted itself, and it seems like Exchange is completely disconnecting and automatically reconnecting to the phone like I am setting it up again for the first time. Very odd. As I'm typing this, I just saw something odd. I swiped to wake up the phone, and the active frames screen was the visible screen. The calendar app is still running (since I left it running, minimized, when the phone went to sleep) and the date shown in the active card was Jan 1, not Jun 8. Why? The date (and time) on the phone is correct and is set automatically by the cellular system.
Nevertheless, looking at BlackBerry Hub, I see only two e-mails in my Inbox from Exchange, even though I have roughly a dozen in my Inbox. The rest are filed in sub-folders. And bam! Just like that... I get the "Add Accounts" screen while looking at the Hub. In other words, as I was typing this, I first saw two Exchange e-mails and then, out of nowhere, the e-mails disappear and I see the "Add Accounts" screen as if no account has been connected.
So... first question: Is anyone else experiencing this issue? This is very strange, and very frustrating. Second: could this be related to the large amount of e-mails I have stored on Exchange, some of which have large attachments? I selected "Forever" as the sync history length. I have my concerns, however, if this is related to loading historical e-mails onto the phone (in other words, the first sync with Exchange) because there is no reason that I can understand that the phone would blank out as if no account was connected at all. I can understand lag and stuttering while the history is syncing, but not a complete disconnect and reconnect. Considering all of the issues with the one and only contact record disappearing, the calendar entry for Jun 15th disappearing and then reappearing with the wrong calendar color, and e-mail in my Inbox incomplete (two of a dozen e-mails) and ultimately disappearing, I feel like this OS just has some real, significant issues.
Full disclosure: I do want iCloud to work and am a fan of Apple products, but the lack of full iCloud sync support is not a big enough issue for me to want to send back this phone and/or see it fail so miserably. I will happily move my info from iCloud into Exchange, Google, and/or set up a new Exchange account for personal use (Office 365) because I am not wedded to iCloud per se. But, I won't go through that trouble if I can't even get my first account to work properly. It should also be noted that I do have a basic Google account (non-paid) and I had previously attempted to connect to it. However, I was experiencing the exact same issues with contacts disappearing, e-mail disappearing, etc. So I deleted that account. Truth be told, I deleted the Exchange account as well, and then re-connected to Exchange only to test one account at a time. Unfortunately, even with Exchange only, I am seeing very strange and frustrating behavior as described above.
Help... please. I want this to work but the frustration I am feeling is growing worse by the hour.

To follow-up with this issue:
I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

Since the Mountain Lion OS update today I've had issues with internet connection and e-mail, has anyone else?

That's what I would have thought, but even after saving the setting, as soon as I shut down my computer or log out of Mail, it automatically defaults back to 25. It's a bit frustrating.
Now I just need to figure out how to get rid of those horrible pop-up banners but still have my glass sound and number of emails in the red dot when I get an email...
These little tweaks are the only thing I HATE about upgrading my OS.
