How to re-distribute a Task Sequence to the Distribution Point.

Hi, All
I am new to Administering SCCM 2012. I have followed the instructions on this forum carefully and it has
helped me.
I created a TS and for some reason I delete it. But when I created the New Task Sequence it will not allowed
me to re-distribute the content to the old DP where the previous one was.
I went to the Technet site and it says that.
Important
If the task sequence that you selected references content that is already distributed to a specific distribution point, that distribution
point is not listed by the wizard.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh273490.aspx
This is because when I resend or deploy the job to the laptop I keep getting this error " The Task Sequence
cannot be run because the program files associated with "CHM00008"cannot be found on the distribution Point". But I know is on the DP. I have updated it and redistribute it. I can browse to it.
And help to show me how to re-distribute the TS to the DP will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
KKA

A task sequence itself cannot be distributed to a DP, but the associated content can.
Have you configured a network access account? Double check if CHM00008 is deployed with 100% success.

How can I stop a task sequence if a custom HTA preflight check fails?

In our currently deployment method, we launch an HTA program before initiating the OSD process. This is only when run from the RAP menu, not via PXE. When a user initiates OSD through that menu, they get a message prompting them to close Outlook, and
a countdown of 5 mins, then OSD starts. They also have the ability to click on an 'OK' button to proceed on their own.
I've created a new script which checks WMI if Outlook and/or OCS are open, and if the machine is running on battery, spit out a "Failed" response and stop the HTA. I've also added a "recheck" button to re-do the check, and an 'OK
button if people jsut want to continue.
I'm curious if there is a way to prevent the task sequence from continuing if any of those conditions arent met. Currently it just pops up and says "Failed, Cannot conitue", but if they close the window, the task sequence thinks the program
has run, and the OSD migration starts. I'd like to be able and get the script to cancel the OSD process if a check fails.
Has anyone had success with this, using WINXP? I'd use the MS pre-flight check but it's only for WIN7.

Interesting. Thanks for the response. Is there anybody out there that can assist with VBS part of the solution?
Here's the code I'm working with. Currently the battery piece isnt working as it should but I can figure that our, eventually. I'd like to get Jason's proposed solution in the code. If this isn't the right place, I'll take this somewhere
else.

Captivate 7. How can I distribute audio across all of the slides?

New to Captivate. When I recorded the audio, I did not know to record it to all of the slides. all the audio is on the first slide. How can I distribute it across all of the video slides?

@parth vyas ??? Why do you recommend to record/import this as background audio? I suppose the user wants to distribute the audio over slides, and to control how much audio on each slide, placing the slide markers where he wants? No such control is possible with background audio, which is just meant as... background.
@[email protected] Welcome to the forum,
So you choose to record to one slide which means that the slide will have a duration that corresponds with the length of the recorded audio clip. And you now want to distribute it over more sides? Is that a correct interpretation of your question?
One possibility is Audio, Edit, Project. In the editing dialog box, zoom out so that you see the entire audio clip. At its end you'll see a marker with a flag Slide 2 (yellow), which you can drag to the left, and then the audio will be partially on the second slide. At the new end you'll have the marker with flag Slide 3...
Second possibility: the audio clip will be in the Library. You can delete the audio on the first slide (Audio accordion), shorten slide to its wanted duration; then import the audio clip from the Library and you'll get a dialog box that has the option to distribute the audio over slides.
Third possibility: if you have the creative cloud or CS6, you'll have the roundtripping functionality with Audition CS6 or CC if you choose that option in the Edit Audio (Project) dialog box, and you can drag the slide markers in Audition.

How do you filter entities by properties in the Distribution List?

Hello, experts:
Can you tell me how I can filter entities by property in the Distribution List? For example, I only want to distribute the input schedule to the entities that have a "PROJECTLVL" property of "Y".
Thank you.

Error 0x80070002 when Task Apply OS has "Access content directly from the distribution point" checked

When I check "Access content directly from the distribution point" for the "Apply Operating System" task in my OSD Task Sequence, I get the failed error 0x80070002 at the step when running the sequence from WinPE.
If I uncheck it, I don't get that error or have any problems.
I've ensured that in the properties of my OS Image in the Data Access that "Copy the content in this package to a package share on distribution points" is checked, and that I Updated DPs.
Am I missing any other settings?
The reason I'm trying to do this is because the "Download" speed of the WIM is incredibly slow. I already installed a hotfix (KB2905002) that fixed this for my Dell systems, but it's not speeding it up for another computer model I'm imaging in
the same way. The Dell computers, after I installed the server hotfix, will downloading the .wim file at 1% per second. However the HP thin clients I'm imaging download at about 1% every 15 seconds, and I'm not sure if that's due to their hardware or what.

Hi,
The error means file not found. So you need to check the smsts.log to see which DP it is accessing, then go to that DP to check the Shared Folder smspkg to make sure the file is there.
For the download performance issue, there are various reasons. You need to check your Switch bandiwidth and if the NIC driver is up to date. If downloading locally is slow, Accessing directly could be slow too.

Once an OS image has been distributed to the distribution point, do I keep the source wim as well?

Just curious what do all you SCCM masters do?,
I really don't know if I explain can this right, but here goes.
If I capture a pre-installed/pre-configured imaged to my sccm server to a folder called OSIMAGES, lets call the image myosimage.wim, once I have distributed content of myosimage.wim to the distribution point, do I really need to keep the source copy of myosimage.wim
in the folder OSIMAGES?

Well how does the ConfigMgr know if the content is correct and intact, if it cannot compare it to the one in the source? Do not remove the sources.

DP's have Warning "Failed to retrieve the package list on the distribution point" - How to Clear it?

All but one of my DP's (A new one I just created) have this Warning Message: "Failed to retrieve the package list on the distribution point". They all seem to be working, I can update and push new content to them.
When I go to the smsdpmon.log, it has an error for a package, but I've since redistributed it, and it is working fine. (Items below are snips from the smsdpmon.log)
CContentDefinition::LibraryPackagesWmi: The package data in WMI is not consistent to PkgLib SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/16/2013 6:00:01 PM 3920 (0x0F50)
CContentDefinition::LibraryPackagesWmi: Package PS10011B can't be found in PkgLib SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/16/2013 6:00:01 PM 3920 (0x0F50)
CContentDefinition::LibraryPackagesWmi failed; 0x80004005 SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/16/2013 6:00:01 PM 3920 (0x0F50)
Failed to evaluate package PS10011B, Error code 0x80070002 SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/16/2013 6:29:50 PM 3920 (0x0F50)
Since then, after redistributing the package, it clears up the logs... but not the warning in Monitoring:
Start to evaluate package share for package 'PS10011B' version 0 ... SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/18/2013 12:39:52 PM 868 (0x0364)
Package PS10011B is verified successfully SMS_Distribution_Point_Monitoring 11/18/2013 12:39:52 PM 868 (0x0364)
So since everything appears to be working fine, how do I clear out that Warning, so I have nice Green Check Mark Icons in my Monitoring Tab, so when something actually does go wrong, I won't just ignore it since it's always been set to Warning?

I'll have to review this. The script
here, alone did not solve the my issue. Interesting that it say I do not have any inconsistencies on any my DP's now, but I run the other one on a single DP, it states I have inconsistencies still.
$WMIPkgList = Get-WmiObject -Namespace Root\SCCMDP -Class SMS_PackagesInContLib | Select -ExpandProperty PackageID | Sort-Object
$ContentLib = (Get-ItemProperty HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP).ContentLibraryPath
$PkgLibPath = ($ContentLib) + "\PkgLib"
$PkgLibList = (Get-ChildItem $PkgLibPath | Select -ExpandProperty Name | Sort-Object)
$PkgLibList = ($PKgLibList | ForEach-Object {$_.replace(".INI","")})
$PksinWMIButNotContentLib = Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $WMIPkgList -DifferenceObject $PKgLibList -PassThru
##### section 1 #######################
Write-Host Items in WMI but not the Content Library

$PksinWMIButNotContentLib
Foreach ($Pkg in $PksinWMIButNotContentLib){
Get-WmiObject -Namespace Root\SCCMDP -Class SMS_PackagesInContLib -Filter "PackageID = '$Pkg'" | Remove-WmiObject -Confirm
I wonder if the first script is not looking for INI's whereas the second one is. I verified that the INI's do exist...
I'll run the second on all of my DP's, remove the left over INI's, and report back again next week on status.

Content is being distributed to the distribution point - stuck at "In Progress"

I have Windows Updates due to be installed on all international machines tonight at 12 AM, and our main distribution point gets the files just fine. Our international sccm server, however, is not.
I'm get the "In progress" on the Content View under Monitoring, but it has been sitting like that for over 8 hours. I know there are a ton of logs in the C:\Program Files\SMS_CCM\Logs location that are constantly updating.
Is there a log in there I can attach or show to help determine what's going on? There are so many logs. However, this is a very serious issue, and I don't know what's going on. It worked just fine, then last months worked, except for the fact that after
about a week, it would say that the content "Failed" on the second sccm distribution point. And now, this month's updates are stuck on "In Progress" on copying it over.
Please let me know what I can look into, as soon as possible.
Thank you!

Alright, so this is what it's looking like:
PkgXferMgr.log has a ton of these:

Call Task Sequence at the end of a task sequence

Hi
I have SCCM 2012 R2 with many task sequence.
It's possible at the end to task sequence to call another task sequence? If yes, do you a link to explain that?
Thanks

The TechNet documentation has the bascis:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh846237.aspx#BKMK_InstallApplication (expand Details).
You simply need to populate the task sequence variables with the values corresponding to the applications or packages you want to install. This can be done in a variety of methods including directly assigning them to a collection or device, using a script,
or the built-in set task sequence variable step.
It all depends on how the task sequence is informed which path to take.

How can I make unfinished tasks move to the next day in Reminders (as they did prior to Yosemite)?

With Yosemite's updates, Reminders doesn't wrap unfinished tasks to the next day. Previously, if I didn't check off a task on one day, it wrapped to the next day. Now, they just stay on the original day, causing me to not see that I haven't finished something! If I look at them in Scheduled view, unfinished tasks list under today (this is the view like that of iPad and iPhone Reminders). When looking at tasks in the one-day-at-a-time view, unfinished tasks from previous days disappear. How do I make them appear without having to change all the dates each day? This is an "update" that creates a problem rather than fixes one.

Server 2008. How do I create a task to turn the server on at a specific time?

I'm running Server 2008 R2 Standard, SP1.
The electricity is scheduled to be turned off in my building for a couple hours over night.
I can shut the server down, but was wondering if there was a way to 'schedule' my server to turn itself on at a specific time the following morning?
Thank you

Hi,
Windows cannot turn itself on. it can resume sleep, but even then relies on the underlying hardware to do the boot.
i would recommend checking whether the BIOS (or EFi for that matter) supports scheduled boots
Alternatively, you can check BIOS whether you can configure the powerstate the computer needs to be in after power is restored; most computers do support that.

How to send email to external users using the distribution list from workflow

I have created distribution list in SO23 with external email addresses.
How I can use distribution list in "Send Mail component" or I should use another component?
It works fine for a single email address. And distribution list works fine when I use it via SBWP.

Hi,
Take activity step instead of Mail step. User fm SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send mail.
And use fm SO_DLI_READ_API1 to find list of user from distribution list. You can find how to use this fm in rule 30000012
