Hierarchical, Parameter-based Configuration Management - is SCCM the answer?

I'm looking for the opinions of those that have used SCCM 2012 in a production environment.  What do you think the feasibility is of using SCCM 2012 Configuration Manager to manage the configuration of several Web Farms that are divided by primary use
and development tier?  I.e. a Public Webserver environment that has a DEV / TST / PRD environment, with parameters specific to each, with individual similar web sites on each of those environments.
I've been looking at DSC recently as it appears to have all of the native tools to allow you to define the kinds of hierarchies that are necessary (and pass parameters to resources defined to a node).  Will SCCM allow me the same kind of environment
+ role based management?

It all depends upon what exactly you want to configure. ConfigMgr will allow to enforce anything ultimately, but you are most likely writing scripts to get it done as it doesn't natively know how to configure most applications including IIS.
Without knowing more detail, that's about that can be said though and thus I would say DSC is your best at this point because it was designed for what you are talking about. The only short-coming of DSC is that there is no central management. Thus, you could
really combine the power of the two tools and have ConfigMgr enforce the DSC policies. That's not a native capability but wouldn't be too difficult to get going.

  • Packaging Configuration Management Service of the portal

    Hi:
    I am writing a KM namespace filter to be applied to a CM
    repository of news items. There is an 'admin console' for
    this functionality. The 'Admin' in her/his admin console
    iview does some selections regarding no. of items,name of
    categories to display and saves them.
    Since KM filter functionality or CM repository properties
    can't be changed during runtime,ie.,any change of selections
    done by the 'admin' needs restart of the servlet engine,
    which is not an option in a production environment. So, I
    thought of using 'Configuration Management Service' of the
    portal to read from and write to all the selections during
    the runtime.
    <u>Everything is fairly easy regarding writing a configuration
    management service, except packaging it and deploying it.
    The documentation makes no sense if you compare it to the
    example given along with the portal documentation.
    Do we have to use any special plugin to package this
    service ? Or is there any updated documention available ?</u>
    Please help me with this problem,
    Thank you very much,
    Prasad Nutalapati.

    Hi,
    You can access through useradmin.
    example: http://localhost:<port>/useradmin
    Here, log-in to the application as an administrator. You can see the
    "Identity Management".

  • Set default values for StartMonth and EndMonth Parameter based on value selected from the previous parameter(Not cascading)

    I have a scenario where it has multiple parameters like.....
    Period which consists of "Year,Quarter,Month" as a values.
    When user selects "Year" value in "Period" Parameter then "FromMonth" has to set its default value as 36th month from now.
    Example: If user selects "Year" then "FromMonth" has to show "April-11".
    When user selects "Year" value in "Period" Parameter then "EndMonth" has to set its default value as current month.
    Example: If user selects "Year" then "FromMonth" has to show "March-14".
    If user selects "Month" Value in "Period" Parameter then it has to allow user to select the Month Range and again if user selects "Year" value in "Period" Parameter then StartMonth has to show 36th month from now and
    End Month has to show current month.
    Please help me how to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi  Vasu_479,
    First, you need to create a dataset to set the StartDate and EndDate parameter's value using the query provided by Visakh. And then use the StartDate and EndDate parameter to filter the data in MDX query. Here is a sample query for your reference.
    select
    {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
    } on columns,
    {[Date].[Date].members} on rows
    from(
    select
    STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@StartDate+"]"):STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Date].&["+@EndDate+"]")
    ) on columns
    from [Adventure Works]
    Hope this helps.

  • Problems with Flexible Parameter Passing - Can anyone help with the answer

    Hi,
    having gone to the trouble of creating a generic form handler which utlises the ability of the PL/SQL Gateway to handle flexible parameters, we've come across an almighty problem.
    Whilst the gateway will create two arrays of parameter names and values, it doesn' t seem to handle arrays of values. So, although some of our forms have multi select list form elements, these seem to be incompatible with the Flexible parameter method, as only the first value is returned.
    Does anyone know of a solution to this?
    I really hope so, otherwise the whole methodology is a waste of effort, and I can't imagine why Oracle bothered to include it!
    Here's hoping.
    Thanks
    Dan

    Not sure what flexible parameters are but in the past I've worked on a form that had to pass multiple values (from a multi-select list item) to a report via a single parameter. We did this by creating a pipe delimited ("|") string of all the selected values. Leading and trailing pipes were also added to the concatenated string.
    This was exploded into individual rows by using the statement below:
    WITH t AS (SELECT '|1|2|3|4|' str FROM dual)
    SELECT str, level
    , SUBSTR(str, INSTR(str, '|', 1, level) +1, INSTR(str, '|', 1, level+1)-INSTR(str, '|', 1, level)-1) str2
    FROM t
    CONNECT BY INSTR(str, '|', 2, level) <> 0;
    '|1|2|3|4|' is the value of the passed in parameter.
    So the report query could look something like
    WITH t AS (SELECT SUBSTR(:p_str, INSTR(:p_str, '|', 1, level) +1, INSTR(:p_str, '|', 1, level+1)-INSTR(:p_str, '|', 1, level)-1) itemid
    FROM dual
    CONNECT BY INSTR(:p_str, '|', 2, level) <> 0)
    SELECT a.*
    FROM items a, t
    WHERE a.itemid = TO_NUMBER(t.itemid);
    Hope this helps.

  • 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:

  • Cannot enable TCP/IP through the Configuration Manager

    Hi,
    I am using SQL Server 2008 sp1 Developer Edition.  The database engine service is running and the SQL browser service is running. It is set to allow remote connections.
    When I open SQL Server Configuration Manager and expand the SQL Server Network Configuration mode and select Protocols for <server name>, it shows Shared Memory as Enabled and all others as Disabled.
    If I right click on TCP/IP and select Enable, I get a warning stating that the changes will be saved but will not take effect until after I restart the service. When I click OK on the warning popup to close it, it still shows TCP/IP as Disabled.
    After I restart the service I return to the Protocols screen and check the value of TCP/IP. It is still Disabled. I am still unable to connect to it remotely.
    Configuration Manager is not allowing me to enable TCP/IP. I need to do this. I looked for an alternate way to enable TCP/IP but have not been able to find one that works. 
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    It seems, you do not have enough permission for modifying values.
    a. Try to change using sysadmin account.
    b. Open configuration manager with "Run as Administrator" method and try to modify the changes.
    If you will not able to modify using sysadmin, do below steps. Please note that changing registry will cause lot of issues.
    1. append existing value with "tcp" (ie eg  "tcp np")
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\InstanceName\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib
    \ProtocolList
    2. Create a new key "TCP" in below path
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib\
    3. Create a string value "TcpPort" in "TCP" and desired value.
    Please compare your other server for registry reference.

  • When converting over to HTTPS and PKI for clients, not all actions are available in configuration manager cpl

    I'm not exactly sure which forum heading this should go under so if this isn't correct please let me know or move it on my behalf.  
    So I am trying to setup Internet Based Client Management in SCCM 2012 R2 and have come across a few articles on how to do so.   I think I have mostly gotten it to work but I seem to be having a client issue when deploying new machines.  My already
    deployed servers seem to have picked up the PKI setting no problem.  In the past when I would deploy a new windows client everything would be fine.  When i converted over to PKI in my test environment I am now having issues when I go to deploy a
    new windows client. I don't get all of the Actions listed in the Configuration Manager control panel.  All I have are Discovery Data Collection, Machine Policy Retrieval and Eval, User Policy Retrieval and Eval, and Windows Installer Source list Update
    Cycles, before all of them would populate no problem.  I have let this machine sit here for several hours and nothing has changed yet.  It does say PKI for client certificate.  Sometimes when I would deploy new machines it would say NONE for
    Client certificate.  In my production environment it says self-signed.  I have found if i uninstall the client and re-install the client it does populate all of the cycles but I don't understand why it is not working on deployment.
    Ok so maybe not all the time that when i reinstall the client it fixes it.  I just did an uninstall and reinstall on a test client and all it has under actions are machine and user policy cycles.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    I think SCCM client installed before the GPO applied, so you don't a certificate available when it is required.
    You can export and import the certificate by using MDT integration, try this blog for PKI part:
    How To: Build and Capture in Configuration Manager 2012 using HTTPS
    And in addition, you can upload the log to your onedrive so you can share with us.

  • Windows 8.1 Mobile Device Management and SCCM 2012 R2 - 'Turn on' option missing

    I am trying to test a virtual desktop with SCCM 2012 R2 integrated with Intune. There is no Configuration Manager client on the workstation, the Intune subscription is configured and enabled for Windows enrolment, AD is synchronizing with Intune, DNS has
    the enrolment record added and resolves, the user can logon to Intune from the client using Internet Explorer and the client has had the registry key added with the DiscoveryService  configured to manage.microsoft.com. The problem is that on
    the 8.1 workstation in Workplace Settings the only option is 'Join' and the 'Turn-on' option is missing. How do I get it to appear?

    Yes I am using an activated version of 8.1 Enterprise, it is in a workgroup and I am logged in as a member of the local Administrator's group but not Administrator. I even joined the domain again and then removed it. Still there is only the 'Join'
    option and no 'Turn on' option. This is driving me nuts.

  • Build and Capture TS fails in "Prepare Configuration Manager Client" task

    I have a ConfigMgr 2012 R2 + CU1 I use for Windows 7 deployment.

    If I disable the "Install Software Updates" part of my TS it will run without probems. It installs 154 updates during the build.
    I have seen another reference to this problem on this forum but why should the large number of the updates be the reason why the task sequcens cannot prepare the SCCM client for capture.
    Sounds to me that it's a BUG :-(

    Is this:

    a known issue
    something that's just frowned upon for no technical reason?
    I'd love to hear from an SCCM guru [at Microsoft] on what the heck is going on here.

  • Non-admin Users SQL Server Configuration Manager

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm wondering if it's possible to grant non-admin users to start/stop SQL services using SQL Server Configuration Manager. Using the sc command, I was able to grant non-admin users access to services applet in Windows.
    However, our DBA said that the best practice to stop/start SQL is via SQL Server Configuration Manager. Based on testing, they are unable to stop/start SQL from SQL Server Configuration
    Manager though they are able to do so (stop/start SQL services) via Services applet.

    Check these links.. Yes you can stop/start SQL is via SQL Server Configuration Manager, services.msc,

  • [Forum FAQ] Configuration Manager Console shows nothing if you change SSRS to using SSL after Reporting Service Point is installed

    If the SSRS is changed to SSL mode and http binding is removed after Reporting Service Point is installed. The Configuration Manager Console shows nothing in Reporting Pane. After digging into this problem, the cause is that the SSRS information has not
    been updated in Configuration Manager Database. The following steps are taken for finding the root cause.
    1. After changing to SSL, the Reporting Service Point log shows the error as shown in Figure 1.
    The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
    (!) SRS not detected as running
    Failures reported during periodic health check by the SRS Server DB2.SCJIZHO.COM.
    Figure 1
    From the error, seems the cause was the Reporting Service Point detected a wrong port. We digged around in Registry and found the information is a Registry key named ReportServerUri at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\SRSRP. After changing the Report
    Server address to https. The error is gone as shown in Figure 2. But the issue remains, the Console still shows nothing. It is not a right direction.
    Figure 2
    2. Open the Console log file, it also shows some valuable information.
    instance of __ExtendedStatus
                    Operation = "ExecQuery";

    Figure 3
    It seems the Console wants to access the old http site and it fails to get into the site for sure. Actually, the Site Configuration information is come from Site Control File and as we all know that ConfigMgr 2012 doesn’t store the Site Control file in the
    file system. However, it’s stored in the SQL database (as XML file). The XML file is stored in a view named vSMS_SC_SiteControlXML. This view is a read-only view. We cannot edit it directly. The related table stored the SSRS information for this view is SC_SysResUse_Property.
    Running the following query will list the SSRS address. We can see the address is still the old one. This is why the Console shows nothing.
    SELECT
    name,
    value2
    FROM dbo.SC_SysResUse_Property
    where name
    ='ReportServerUri'
    or name=
    'ReportManagerUri'
    Remarks:
    This article is just to let you know why the Console cannot show the Reports after changing to SSL mode. We do not intend to make you change the table in Database, if you want to change it, you will be at your own risk. The real solution to this situation
    is to reinstall your Reporting Service Point.

    Ok, but how do you solve this problem? Does uninstalling the RP and adding it back solve this problem?

  • Third party Certificate not showing up in SQL configuration manager drop down box

    Hi,
    I have an SQL instance that needs to use a third party SSL certificate for all communications to that SQL instance. I have installed my third party certificate via MMC and it is showing under the Personal Folder.
    However, when i go into the SQL configuration manager and right click the instance name > Properties > Certificates, it is not showing in the drop down box.
    I am currently using MS SQL Server 2008 R2, which is installed on Windows Server 2012. 

    Hi,
    If the certificate cannot be used for SQL Server and hence will not be visible in SQL Configuration manager. Check the validity of the installed certificate. It may not has the correct DNS name.
    I suggest you request a new third party certificate from the vendor with the correct DNS name. Install it on SQL Server environment, then you should see certificate form the configuration manager dropdown box.
    Thanks.
